 Yesterday all veterans able to go to the store rooms chose the articles they wished for members of their families. They were then wrapped in tissue paper and tied with ribbon to be forwarded to the veterans homes. Those not well enough to go to the make believe store, were allowed to choose articles from wagons, drawn from room to room.
