“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.
