The Joy of Christinas Giving
is never so keen as when you lift a burden from
some less fortunate friend.
Think now before the year's opportunity
is gone.
Don't you know some family in Omaha
where the kiddies will suffer from the cold un
less you send them Coal?
Or, if you prefer to have others find the need,
wouldn't you like to turn over a ton of coal, a
half ton, or any other amount, to one of Santa's
capable assistants, (the Associated Charities, for
example), to be sent where needed most?

EOTH BOXES AND MONEY SENT
Secretary Doane of the Associated
Charities reports she baa arranged
with individuals and organizations
for the supplying of Christmas cheer
to over 300 families. This repre
sents only a portion of the work
being done by the charities and oth
ers and has no connection with the
work being done by The Bee In con
nection with the Associated Chari
ties. The 300 cases referred to rep
resent such a typical situation as
this: A woman goes in to Mrs.
Doane and says: "My Sunday school
class wants to help five families.
Will you arrange for the distribution
to five families you know to be in
need? We will supply the necessi
ties and toys." An individual calls
and expresses a desire to help one or
two families.

Associated Charltloe. Ilease do not use
my name In this connection."
