Plan Yule Season Programs
Cbmcb1Vomen, Other Groups
Abbeal for Christmas Gifts
By Gretchen Smith,

Foreigners were heard 10 comment
during resent elections that only
IN democracy could such a politi-
cal campaign be conducted during
wartime" The statement might
well apply to celebration of the
Christmas season, whose observance
will be carried on this year by
Women's groups in the usual spirit
OF giving in spite of increased de-
mands on pocketbooks helping to
bear the financial burden of war.
Women's organizations which have
always thought of the needy and
unfortunate with particular gener-
osity during the Yule season are
starting their appeals for Christmas
this week, undaunted by the fact
that the Sixth War Loan campaign
Is being carried on simultaneously.
And doubtless, if past records hold
true, responses to both Christmas
and War Bond sales will 60 "over
the top" as result of feminine
interest and hard work.
The annual appeal for contribu-
tons for needy families of the Dis
trlct has just been issued by the
Washington Council of Church
Women, which also sponsors the
singing of carols on Christmas Day
IN alley dwelling districts, Christ
mas In the home" program and fur
nlshing Christmas trees to wards in
city hospitals.
Miss Eta Mai Russell, executive
secretary of the council. points out
that contribution of $40 will pro-
vide Christmas in the home, with
gifts, clothing and basket of food
for small family; S25 will care for
large family, and 81 will help"
Instead of purchasing the gifts and
the food, the custom of the council
has been to present a cash donation
to the mother" of the family who
selects the items which she knows
will be most enjoyed by individual
members.
AS council worker with the Juve-
nile Court, Miss Russell reports
there are around 200 families on
the list of the Juvenile Court whose
children are known to need outside
encouragement.
Now, as in other years. we have
200 families on our list" Miss Rus
sell explained This means around
300 persons. Even though employed,
these families are still living on a
submarginal basis, and. except for
you. these children cannot have
