• BE A SANTA CL AUS 1 CHRISTMAS You Can Make It Mean Very Much to a Number of Indianapolis Families Who, in Their Present Circumstances, Probably Would Not Hear the Tingle of the Yule-Time Bells The TIMES, in Cooperation with the Christmas CLEARING HOUSE, Prints a Description of These Needy People Let’s Make Them SMILE Again. —— FILL UP AX EMPTY STOCKING

ATy/PULD von like to play Santa Claus to some family whose stockings might otherwise he W empty on Christmas morning? The Indianapolis Times and the Christmas ("Wiring House offer you an opportunity to do so. The Clearing Hons*’, which tries to prevent duplication of gifts to the needy, has a long iJlist of families that are not looking forward to a merry Christmas. Organizations affiliated with Community Fund care for many families during the year, hut there is no money for Christmas extras. The Times, beginning today, will publish lists of such families and their needs.

For Instance, there Is a girl of ! 17, who must support her par- I ents and four younger brothers, j She is not able to obtain work because she has not good enough clothes. Then there's a couple with two children, an! another baby expected before Christmas. The Salvation Army found work for the father several lays ago. But the outlook still Is gloomy. Perhaps you would like to see I that this new baby comes Into ’he world with some of the nice things a baby should have. Or you might want to find clothes for the young girl worker. War Veteran* Another case Is that of an elderly j man and wife and their son, a veteran of the World War and now a victim of tuberculosis. The father pocketed his pride last summer, when he was threatened with evlc tion from his home, after trying to find work for seven months, and esked help from a charitable organisation. for the first time. All these cases have been Investi|ra*ed, to ascertain the needs. Look over the list of families In today's paper. When you have picked out the one you would like to help, communicate with the Indianapolis Times Santa Claus by telephone or In person. The telephone number is Main 3500. Mention the family desired by number. You will be given the name and address of the family: or. If the family you want already has he**n cared for, another will be found for you. You may visit 'he family, if you wish, to make further Investigations, or may provide the things needed from the descriptions In The Times. Direct to Family You probably will want to take your gifts to the family in person Just before or on Christmas day. If not, perhaps you know of someone who would like to play Santa for the day. The Times asks that you make your gif’s direct to th*> family. MENTAL HYGIENE SOCIETY MEETS Du King Presides at Opening Session, Tr. William F. King.

Basketball! L'"'2INNING in any sport is |\X/| a true test of a coach’s L:IJ ability. That Is why The Times has engaged Coaches Ortner of Cornell, Wight of California, Ruby of Illinois.
