First Cooperating Group.
Mrs. Sadie H. Henry, A. A. A. en-
ploye in the old Post ONCE Building,
won the distinction today of being
the first Federal worker to announce
the cooperation of an individual
group.
Mrs. Henry informed the co-ordina-
tor that employees in her department
have already organized a toy cam
paign and are placing boxes in Offices
throughout the building. The bureau
expects to assemble approximately 300
gifts for the fund, she said, adding
that these gifts will be, on the whole,
for children above IL years of age.
I'VE have found that there are many
Federal employees who like to buy toys
for children, but who don't have any
one to give them to-" she said. For
instance, one girl was distressed be-
cause gift she wanted to buy was for
boy, and her only relation was a
little niece! So she just decided it
| would be fun to buy something for a
boy anyway, and turn it over to some
one who wouldn't have been remem-
bered by Santa Claus otherwise"
Books. skates and many other articles
Of value are the type of gift her group
Is collecting. Mrs. Henry said.
