Through the Government depart
ments, through the thousands of in
dividuals who sent cash gifts and
toys to Christmas House, through
the thousands of children who at
tended the Toy Matinees," the
Citizens Christmas Committee was
able to report last Christmas that
for the first time Christmas was
spread to every family known by
welfare agencies TO be in need of
Christmas cheer.
Not only did every child find toys
on Christmas morning and special
dinner on the table. but the funds
given by Washingtonians to The
Star-N. B. C.-Warner Bros. CAM
paign so far exceeded the Christmas
lists that several thousands dollars
were used to supplement other funds
provided to tide families over tenn
porary periods of crisis for more
than a month after the holiday.

Christmas to the full If they had not
helped bring a little special holiday
cheer to some needy family.
In this big city, in these busy days,
1t is not always possible for us as
individuals to seek out those to whom
the Christmas season might be bleak
and sad. Especially to the men and
women from all sections of the United
States who will be spending the holi-
day season in the Capital this year
and will wish to carry on their tradi-
tional neighborly custom of Christmas
giving, commend the Christmas
