sorting into groups. directing the
large number of women who volun-
teered their assistance. 1t was a
real work of love. For not one
woman who assisted complained of
the fatigue caused by the downright
hard work they did; not one found
fault with the method of delivery or
distribution; all were visibly delight
ed to have part in the project, and
smiles appeared on many faces as
they anticipated the happiness some
particular toy would give to a child.
Feeling of Satisfaction.
So now it's over, and our women
can turn their attention to their
own families, giving them the holi-
day festivities which devotion to the
toy campaign has prevented. But I
am sure that not one person who
had any part in the campaign, be it
IN promoting, contributing or COM
pletlng the work, but who feels a
sense of personal satisfaction in a
good job well done.
so now as we 60 about this week
OF holiday celebration, let us enjoy
IL TO the utmost. Let us all-par-
ent-teacher people or not as the case
may be-rejoice in the added COM
panlonship of our children who are
free from school for the holidays,
Let us take advantage of every op-
portunlty for family pleasures, SO
that when the holiday is over, and
work begins again, we shall have
renewed energy and ambition to do
what tasks present themselves, look
ing toward the promotion of child
welfare.
And again, Merry Christmas!"
