Every year, about this time, Eta

news about the Christmas program
of the washington Council OF
Church Women.
It's an interesting story and Eta

This year, as her many friends
know. the councils executive secre-
tary Is recuperating from an opera
ton. But We remembered the story
and called her on the phone. just
as she was wondering how she could
get something in the newspapers.
The councils program, which has
been successfully carried out for
several years. is going forward on
schedule. under the direction of
Mrs. Wallace N. Streeter, council
president, and all the various chair
men. Miss Russell, herself. hopes
to be able to return to her job In
time to aid with the last-minute
arrangements.
The program is fourfold. Mem
bers and friends have a choice OF
helping to provide Christmas fol
one or more Of 200 families. supply
ing gifts to hospitals, remembering
the residents OF the Home for the
Aged at Blue Plains or giving money
for a Christmas fund for the Re-
formatory at Lorton.
The councils Christmas project
for families has always been one o1
its most appealing activities. Those
selected for this aid are the mothers
of children under the care of the
Juvenile Court.
Some years ago the churchwomen
discarded the idea OF filling Christ
mas baskets and taking them to
needy families or having Christmas
parties. Instead, cash is collected
and the money turned over to the
mothers on the council list who then
do their own Christmas shopping.
This very practical procedure en-
ables the families to enjoy their
Christmas in private. The funds
turned over to the mothers usually
are sufncient to take care Of some
particular need, in addition to toys
And Santas visit is filled with all
the mystery and suspense that Is q
traditional part of Christmas.

The hospital program covers about
/ 500 patients at Gallinger and about
500 ut Freedmens. The Upshur
Street Hospital also comes under
this project, which is really con-
tinuation Of the hospital work done
by the council throughout the year.
Numerous church groups have
adopted entire wards. Some put up
Christmas trees and have parties.
And each patient, man, woman or
child, receives some sort of remem-
brance.
Cash gifts are needed for special
cases, but, on the whole, the hos
pital program provides ample OPP
portunity for those with knack
for preparing attractive gift pack
ages to exercise their talent.
Council members also provide
attractive packages for the aged
men and women at Blue Plains.
Their experiences in the past have
taught them that the women love
such items as costume jewelry and
toilet articles. Bedroom slippers,
socks, handkerchiefs and books are
some of the articles which the men
seem to enjoy.
The program at the Reformatory
at Lorton has the objective Of as
suring that no inmate Is entirely
forgotten at Christmas. Cash con-
tributions are requested and the
gifts are selected by the chaplain.
All checks for any one Of these
programs should be made payable

Church Women. And other gifts
