Send Gifts to Egyptian Children

Boys and girls in some far-dis
tant Egyptian village will soon
receive batch of new playthings
thanks to the generosity of a Be
thesda matron and the work OF
the children and women of the
Rockville Christian church.
q Ninety-seven dolls were dona
4 ted for the project by Mrs. Paul
K Hamilton Of Bethesda. The
dolls were dressed in representa-.
tive American costumes by the
girls and ladies' of the church
while boys of the congregation
added trucks and other toys TO
the collection.
Last Sunday the Rev. Ernest
r. Bryan conducted a short dedi-
catory service over the collection
which will be turned over to the
Egyptian ambassador to the Uni.
ted States for shipment to the
: village in his homeland.
In another part of the dedica.
ton service, children of the
church brought their gifts to the
receiving platform and sang spe.
cial songs. Mrs. Paul Cook, who
arranged for the participation of
the church in the project, dis.
played some of the handicraft
articles she had acquired during
a two year stay in Egypt.
Intended as an expression of
tangible friendship for the Egyp-
tan youngsters from their Rock
vile contemporaries, the dolls
are assured of a warm welcome
in Egypt. Each one would cost
an Egyptian father the equivalent
of a months income. Each toy
was accompanied by a slip OF
paper bearing the name and ad.
dress of the child responsible for
the gift.
