less fortunate neighbors could have
warm homes and full dinner tables
on Christmas Day.
The object of the campaign, as
explained by those who participated
in the opening broadcast, is to pro-
vide the extras that make Christmas,
to stretch the dimes and dollars
contributed to as many families as
possible so that no one will be un-
able to celebrate the Yuletide.
First organization to be repre-
sented at Christmas House was the
Advertising Club, whose president,
George B. Burrus, was interviewed
on the opening broadcast by Bill
Coyle, radio director of The Star.
A number of other organizations
have already expressed their eager
ness to participate in the campaign
and will present their contributions
during subsequent broadcasts from
Christmas House.
Representatives of several Of these
groups were interviewed this morn
ing by Tobey David and Larry
Marino, who are known to early
morning listeners on Station WMAL
as The Kibitzers."
Christmas House will remain open
daily from $3.50 am. to 6 pm. for
cash contributions, which may also
be mailed to Christmas House in
care of The Star Checks should be
made out to The Star Christmas
Fund.
For those who prefer to give toys
or clothing or who wish to add
these to their cash gift the lobbies
of all Warner Bros. theaters are be-
ing used as collection centers. If
your children have outgrown their
toys or if you would like to help
fill a youngsters Christmas stock
ing with a new toy you may leave
your gifts in the lobby of the
Warner Bros. theater in your neigh
borhood.
Society Plans Benefit.

ing benefit Christmas parties for
the campaign is the Illinois State

ton to The Stars Yule Fund or a

cepted for admission to the ball.
