the needy children Of Washington.
They are chipping in with dimes
and dollars, giving them to The
Star for distribution through the
Christmas Committee Of the Coun-
Gil of Social Agencies. AS is tradi-
tional, representatives for the an
nual charity have been appointed
in all the Federal departments and
large number of the independent
agencies.
The defense workers under the
Office for Emergency Management,
including Office of Price Admins
| tration, the lease-lend administra-
tors, and other key outfits, are
among the thousands participating
this year for the first time,
Navy Gifts Begin Early.
| Though war curtailed The Stars
effort, generous contributors needed
little encouragement to remember
the underprivileged youngsters OF
the city again this year. The Navy
Department reported. for instance,
that cash gifts began coming in
while November was still on the
calendar.
Yule spirit is encouraged at the
Commerce Department by amplified
music of the season, heard in the
lobby each day from II am. till 2
pm. On Saturday the various bu-
reaus will for one and half hours
bring their contributions to the tall
