Many Christmas
Opportunities"
Are Untaken

With only a fraction of the SOC
christmas Opportunities" applied
for, many foster children and
needy families in the county will
be without a merry Christmas"
unless organizations which have
been accustomed in the past to
take Opportunities" contact Mrs.
Theodore Ricketts,, executive Sec
rotary of the Holiday Exchange.
She may be reached by phone at
Rockville $50, Extension Is, or by
mail addressed to the Court House
in Rockville.
The Holiday Exchange, a COM
mittee Of the Social Service Ex-
change, functions prior to and
during the Christmas season and
covers the entire county. All cases
of need are referred to the Ex-
change by county health and well
fare agencies.
Many of the opportunities are
for children in foster homes who
would like games, books, jewelry,
or new clothing things which
aren't necessarily covered in their
support. There are also a number
of cases of old people who live on
old age pensions or are residents of
boarding homes. Their wants are
usually simple, some warm gar
ment or candy or tobacco.
A number of large families,
some with eight or ten children,
in many cases with the wage earn
er hospitalized, need help. Some
of these family groups need
everything from food to shoes,
while other want just few items.
County schools have always
taken a number of opportunities,
for instance this year Bethesda
Chevy Chase has signed up for
forty cases while many of the
other schools have also applied.
Mrs. Ricketts, suggests that if
any church or club group is plan
ming to care for needy families in
their neighborhood, that they con-
tact her, since she will most like
ly have the case listed too, and
will be glad to remove the card
from her files.
Since the gifts should be deli
vered to the Social Agencies Build
ing in Rockville the week before
Christmas, in many cases on the
10Th, groups planning to take "op-
portunities' should take prompt
action.

there is going to be more action
