Battalion Editorials Page THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1G, 1953 LI’L ABNER “Take It Off’ Battalion Christmas Fund Donations Now Total $36 The Battalion’s Christmas Basket fund Avhieh we started last week, has received three very helpful donations. All three were anonymous. Two were for $5 and one envelope contained a $1 bill. We’ve completed our plans for buying the groceries wholesole. Add this $11 to our original donation of $25, and we can buy several baskets for $36. Harry Turner, manager of Miller’s Super Market, said this morning he would be glad to provide the groceries for us at wholesale prices. Thanks to the people who have given. Those families which receive the baskets will deeply appreciate it, but won’t have the opportunity of thanking you. So we’d like to do it. We know the spirit in which this money was given. The three parties who contribu ted did so simply because they wanted to. They’ve got big hearts. Too many people rush through Christmas buying presents for relatives and close friends and forget about those less fortunate who won’t get anything. There are two kinds of giving. One gives because he feels he should, and one gives because he really wants to give. We know of several needy families. If anyone knows a family that we should have on our list, please drop the name and address in a letter to Editors, The Battalion. And we’re still checking the mail closely every day for those contributions. P O G O F (toacli 0ooinb4h,w?hen. you decided.
