Personal investigation into the home conditions of more than 240 families and the securing of the needs of each to the greatest possible extent, has been part of the work of the City Rescue Mission, in its efforts to make Christmas mean something besides suffering and hardship to the poverty stricken ones of South Rend. Of these 240 families, son- iere around 1S3 of them are mein ij of the Mission Sunday school, . the wants of others have become kno wn through the letters of the children written to Santa Claus in care of Wyman's store. Theso letters, writ, ten in childish despair, born of previous disappointments, but yet with the hope that never dies within öne, expressed the desire for toys and the need for food and clothes. Wyman's store having turned the notes over to the Rescue Mission, R. A. Rird, superintendent of the mission, saw that all of the homes were visited. Toys and necessities were then secured and will be given out according to the needs of the home. Dolls, penknives, dresses, stockings, mittens and many other pieces of wearing apparel will be distributed Christmas day, and in many cases, groceries, while some families will receive half tons of coal. Christmas afternoon all of the children of the Mission Sunday school will be given presents from a Christmas tree that the mission has arranged for. Friday afternoon at the regular meeting of the Mirtha Mission circle, Mrs. R. A. Rird served a lunch and presents were distributed among the women.
