.Christmas Plans Most Elab
orate on Record Many
Dinners to Be Served.
The SU'Jdcn COld yeattier in Oma
ha has made many homes cold and
dreary, even in the spirit of Christ
mas. This season has found many
more men without employment than
at any time in the history, of the
city, charitable organizations say.
But the cold snap has warmed the
hearts of the more fortunate, who
are contributing generously to the
needy, it is reported. '
Requests for coal have nearly
swamped those organizations which
have been able to provide fuel.
Holiday plans for the poor have
not been confined to the usual
Christmas tree for the kiddies. This
year a concert will be held at the
Auditorium, and candy, fruit and
nuts will be distributed among the
children Saturday night.
At the Volunteers of America
hall, 114 North Fifteenth street,
Governor S. R. McKelvie will dis
tribute 500 baskets of provisions to
the needy.
At the Salvation Army Industrial
home, 1110 Dodge, street, and at the
Army Rescue home, 2008 Sherman
avenue, extensive preparations have
been made to make the season a
memorable one for unfortunates.
