the fund this year. Throughout the
day yesterday there was a line Of
people at the newspaper offices
asking that their children be given
a visit by Santa Claus. There will
be no Santa for these children un-
less the more fortunate people of
Wilmington make it possible
through contributions to the Empty
Stocking fund.
Through no fault of their own,
these parents are unable to pro.
vide for their children this year.
They have taught their children to
believe that there is a Santa Claus
"a Santa Claus that visits Door
people as well as the rich-and the
faith that these youngsters have in
them and in all the things they
have been taught to believe now
hangs in the balance.
Your contribution will 20 toward
making these unfortunate parents
and their children happy on Christ

Parents of children must obtain
cards for the Christmas packages
and these cards must be signed by
the child's teacher, their pastor
or Sunday school teacher so that
only worthy cases will be benefit

The Empty-Stocking fund de-
ponds upon the generosity of the
people Of Wilmington for its exis.
tence and the sponsors have the
hope that no child in the city and
county will be overlooked this
Christmas.
You may make your contribution

WASHINGTON, March 1.-P-
Senator Reynolds (D-N.C.) went in.
to a senate subcommittee meeting
today with a grievance and came
out with a racehorse.
His grievance was against George
E. Allen, n of three pr%esidentially.
appointed commissioners who gov
ern thu nations capital. Allen has
been opposing a bill by Reynolds to
legalize horse-racing in the Distr' #
of Columbia.
A witness yesterday had said that
Allen owned a horse which e
raced in neighboring states. He i'm.
piled that it was strange that he
should do this while opposing racing
here.
Allen explained today:
II think racing is bad for me
bad for anybody-and l don't think
my stupidity should be forced on
the District of Columbia. I love
racing. I wish I didn't love it. I'll
give my horse to the senator from
North Carolina if he wants him."
"Ill take him." said Reynolds
without hesitation.
