This year the Waterbury Corps Is
planning to send out food-orders to
about 10 families, which will enable
them to choose their own supplies
for the Christmas dinner. The Wo-
mems Home League of the Corps,
under Mrs. Wiberg, is wrapping
gift packages and stockings to be
presented to the folks in several in
stitutions in and around the city,
as well as to the children unfor-
tunate enough to be patients in the
local hospitals on Christmas Day.
The men at the Army's shelter on
Scoy:ll street, will be suitably re-
membered, ana several children
known to the officers of the corps
will be QUILTED with clothing.
The Waterbury Community Chest
of which the Salvation Army is a
member agency, has approved the
Armys Christmas program, and is
agreeable to the raising of funds for
this purpose through the tradition
al red kettles. Unfortunately, the
cold weather has so far worked
against the realization of anything
near the amount usually in hand.
The local corps needs about $4,000
to put over its planned program.
Up to Monday night the kettles had
brought in only $685. .93.
Two Christmas broadcasts are
scheduled to be given over Station
WATR, entitled For Mercy's Sake"
one this evening at 7:45 and the
second next Sunday at 1890 a. m.

them in for additional merchan-
