the right family-just as certain,
in fact, as If you visited the family
yourself.
Because it is impossible for you to
visit every family, the city's welfare
agencies have done 1t for you. They
have carefully investigated thou
sands of families to see just which
ones belonged on your Christmas
list. Then they sent the names and
addresses to the Council of Social
Agencies, which set up a Christmas
Bureau to take care of requests.
One of the principal tasks of the
Christmas Bureau is to avoid dupli-
cations; that is, to make sure that
no one family will be taken care Of
twice while another family is en-
tirely forgotten.
What the Cash Gifts Do.
The cash gifts you send to The
Star go right on to the families to
buy food for Christmas dinner, fuel
that they may be warm during the
holiday season, clothes that the chill
dren may have new sweaters and
jackets when they go back to school,
medicine for sick members of the
family and other things to suit their
individual needs.
The size of the gift to each family
depends on the number of chill
dren in the family. Your gifts will

Catholic Charities, Family Service
Association, Juvenile Court, Public
Assistance Division and Protective
Services Unit of the Board of Pub
lie Welfare. Public Health Nursing
Bureau of the District Health De-
partment, Travellers Aid Society and
