Montgomery Returns
Reach $500
Second Week

Through the second week of the
drive of the Montgomery County
tuberculosis Christmas Seal Sale,
the returns have reached $4,000, it
was announced today by Mrs,
Homer Guerry, receiving chairman.
If, in the remaining two weeks be-
fore Christmas the returns con-
tinue as they have during the first
two, the goal of $8,144 will be
reached. The continuance of the
splendid support of the first Health
Bond Issue to organizations in the
county already displayed will be a
great help in reaching the ten cents
per capita for the entire county
Mrs. Guerry stated that the $4,000
envelopes sent out containing seals
there are still $500 not as yet
heard from. She feels that the
larger portion of these will be in
D6lore CnflSCmaS.
Mrs. William Dahl, seal sale
chairman of the county, stressed
the fact that "only seals bought
in Montgomery county benefit this
county" and urges the people liv-
ing in Montgomery to help the
county association go forward with
an advanced tuberculosis program
by buying their seals in their own
county.
To avoid receiving reminder in
the form of a follow-up card the
receiving committee again requests
contributors to please make re-
turns in the yellow envelope pro-
vided, bearing the senders name
and address. Quite a few returns
have been made with no possible
means of Identifying the sender,
their names and addresses being
omitted.

Social Service
League Presents
28 Opportunities
Several Worthy Cases In
Montgomery County Are
Listed

Each year the Social Service
League of Montgomery County
presents series of Christmas op-
portunities. According to Miss
Ruth A. Bolton, the children in
volved are those who have been
taken from their homes either tenn
porarily or permanently. "Respon-
ses of these opportunities have been
generous" Miss Bolton stated.
They are:
Tom, who is II years old, is a
good-looking boy in spite of the
difficulties which have faced him.
His parents died a few years ago
and Tom has been earning most of
his expenses with just small
amount of help from the agency
which now appeals on his behalf.
1t is felt that reversible topcoat
would be fine Christmas present
for Tom.
Joey is perfectly able to take
care of himself, though of course
he's pretty small for a job. He is
only five. But there was nobody
else to fend for him until recently
when he was placed in a foster
home together with his sister, age
z, and baby brother, 10 months.
For Christmas he wants Santa to
bring him a bright red scooter, SO
that he can give rides to his 49,
month-old "baby" brother.
"She's dumb like them ALL" said
Martha's mother, three years ago
when Martha was brought into
Juvenile Court. And then, Martha
was placed in foster home. Sur
prisingly Martha, the 'dumb one,'
who was headed toward delin-
quency, adjusted well in her foster
home. She is 16 years old now,
quiet, sweet, and a good worker.
Her eyes sparkle wistfully when
she sees the pretty things in the
store windows. Her dearest wish
is for a wrist watch, for then she
feels that she'll be truly elegant" "
