A young father wanted a child's VIC
trola and some records for his very
small daughter"
The one request that almost
stumped the committee, Mrs. Cousins
said, was that of a serviceman in the
Pacific who wanted folding electric
iron for his mother. But it didn't
stump them for long. They had the
request broadcast over the Home
Service program on the radio and 1t
wasn't half an hour later that a
woman phoned in to say she had one
practically new-and that she
hated to part with it but she couldn't
bear to see that soldier disappointed
so she's give hers up!
After the gifts are purchased they
are carefully and prettily wrapped in
gay Christmas ribbons and paper in
the special wrapping room at the
United Nations Service Center, a
room which is available to all serv-
ice men and women throughout the
year.
The tribute to the shopping service
which has pleased the committee
most, Mrs. Cousins said, is the re-
quest from man in the South Seas
for their catalogue. HE must really
think we're good" smiled Mrs.
Cousins.
She also adds that without the
help and cooperation of the post

could never have been the success
