evening number of patients had
an Informal party in the recreation

The following was read at the
Christmas tree: A Grown-Up's Let
ter to Santa Claus--Put in my stock
ing this year dash of human
Kindness. Add some Of the breadth
OF vision that will make me realize
that all men are my brothers. Pour
In some oil Of graciousness.. the
mark of true gentleman Give me
to play we'll my part in this big,
busy world, and so to regulate my
life that when l pass on no man
M
alone"
Leave for me generous package
of good cheer, so that when my
brother is weighed down with de-
spair / may go to him and help him
to look up and hope anew. Bring
me a jack-in-the-box, like the one
that set my boyish heart to beating
pit-a-pat in days agone. Only let
it be filled with faith, and give me
the key to unlock its magic for ev-
cry heart that comes my way.
And don't forget a cane-not the
peppermint candy affair, but
a staff Of spiritual strength on
which / may lean when sorrow casts
its shadow on my path. Make all
the children of earth glad, Dear
Santa. but don't forget that grown
ups, too sometimes dream dreams
and wish again for childhood I'M
realities. Write upon the minds
and hearts of all who have relin-
quished the carefreeness of youth
for the stern realities of the daily
struggle the message that real hap
niness consists not of material
things, but of days spent in the SER
vice of ones fellows
