SANTA’S HELPERS CIEJPVES (Continued From Page 1) up a good Christmas dinner," Le Core remarked. “And I'll get some practical presents—some articles of clothes for the ones.” For many years Mrs. Matilda Martin, 4345 Guilford Ave., has been Santa every Christmas to some poor family. “It wouldn’t be Christmas to me unless I took care of some needy folks," Mrs. Martin said. She will furnish a Christmas basket for family 54. “Do you know of any children who would like a ,kiddie-kar, a doll buggy, a doll bed and other toys?” Mrs. H. E. Draher, 1951 Valley Ave., asked over the 'phone. The Santa Claus editor almost shouted, “I should say so—family 56.” There are several very little girls In this family, whose father deserted them many months ago. Their mother has been ell since last August. Mrs. Draher will add delicacies for the invalid. To Aid Widow Herd's a fact to make you think kindly of this old world A woman on Julian Ave., a widow herself, called in to say that she would help another widow, who is in straitened circumstances and lives all alone. Mrs. William Sargent, from her place of business at 628 Massachusetts Ave., has generously offered to be Santa Claus to family 40. In [this case a young boy works and tries to keep up expenses for his widowed mother and sick sister. "I’m glad to help a bratle boy like that,” Mrs. Sargent commented, and she will make up a Christmas basket of practical groceries and other articles that will last for some days after Christmas. Mrs. E. H. Rothert, 2164 N. Talbott Ave., certainly will create gladsome hearts in the family she will take care of on Christmas day. Mrs. Rother often drives into the country for fresh farm products and a goodly supply of these will make up her Christmas basket for family 56.
