Community Heart Interest
Workers Find Joy and Tears
But Contributions of Public Mean
A Merry Christmas for Many Needy
BY MRS. C.. ID. LOWE,
President, D. C. Congress Of Parents and TeAcherA

Merry Christmas! And may 1
publicly express to every one who
has participated in this great Com
munity Heart Interest" my personal
thanks for the part each has played
in making 1t a success? Those of
you whose knowledge of the "toy
headquarters" was gained only from
the newspapers, the radio or the
moving picture theaters, have missed
a real treat. For you did not see the
large group of happy, interested
workers, faces shining with the
Christmas spirit, laboring diligently
to see that every needy child in this
great and beautiful city was taken
care of. Your eyes did not bulge
at the sight of the huge piles of toys
delivered by the truck load, many
wrapped in gay Christmas trappings,
which spilled over the tables; you
did not laugh with the women there
when holly wrapped bundle cried
for its mama; or when flying
fingers squeezed from a package a
sound which by not too great a
stretch of the imagination could be
translated into a dogs bark or a
lambs "baa-baa"; you did not have
the pleasure of winding up the music
boxes and listening to their gay
tinkle, or of testing out the keys
of the miniature pianos and zylo-
phones. You did not surreptitiously
wipe away tear as you read the
long list of gifts needed by this
family or that, with perhaps tucked
away at the bottom a request that
something be put in for mother,
because she won't have any Christ
mas either"
But-and this is very important
you did have very large and very
real part in making it a success.
For you contributed money and
toys, without which the campaign
would have been a failure. And you
added your moral support by your
enthusiastic response to the appeals

shouts Merry Christmas" we will
all feel that the words have a spe-

we will appreciate and enjoy the

So far as it is humanity possible, !
believe that every needy child in
Washington will feel tomorrow is a
real Christmas, for some one some
where has made the effort to see
that he is remembered. And so I
say again Merry Christmas and
may the words have a true signifi-

may the day be Christmas Day in
every sense of the word-happy, free
from discord and strife, satisfying as
to body and soul; and when the sun
