Last Christmas a dollar given ‘ anonymously by “a group of children" was used by the Welfare society there to start a fund for year-round needs, instead of gorg­ ing people with too many baskets of goodies one' day out of 365. These are some of the things the fund has paid for: glasses to replace those broken by a boy whose mother washes to keep him in school; means of get­ ting a crippled girl to and from school; shoes for the old horse used by the society when there Is hauling to be done; the cane a grandfather needed to help him get about; fares of a trachoma patient and a tubercular child who were sent to hospitals; soap and a razor for a young man who wanted to clean up so be could try for a job. Regular donations to the society may be spent only for food, fuel, clothing and shelter; these all-tlie-year gifts, though badly needed, would have been impossible but for the dollar from the children "to use any way you want" that gave welfare workers the idea of the Santa Claus fund.—-Frances Grin­ stead. Christmas in Christ’s Land Is Without Snow LITTLE Christian children who live, in Jerusalem or who are traveling there with their parents will not havei a snowy Christmas. Snow almost inever falls In Palestine, for the tem­ perature is seldom below 38 degrees., When it does snow, the flakes melt as, soon as they touch the ground. Most of the people in the country' •where the infant Jesus was born do. ;not celebrate Christmas, however! For ■only a few of them are Christians;! jmost are Moslems or Jews. There are! some Christmas trees in Christian' homes, and gifts are exchanged among those who observe Christ’s birthday. But there are no street decorations and no late shopping problems. The; post offices have no big signs urging' "Mail your packages early!" Yet there Is probably no place in the! world more appropriate to visit at. Christmas. The Holy Sepulchre is in the old part of the city, and at Bethle­ hem, six miles south, is a great church that has replaced the humble Inn where Christ was born. Inside Is a large flat' •stone on which the Infant Jesus Is sup-' posed to have been laid, reminding us how Christianity grew from one hum­ ble life.—Frances Grinstead.

There is no Santa tClaus In our grown-up world, but we ihave found we needed him as one of; 'the most beloved characters in the' world of childhood, which is peopled with legends of the child’s own mak­ ing. The enchanting belief In Santa: and his reindeer, his paunch and his{ pack filled with toys will never hurt a child. The cynical grown-ups, who (have too completely lost their belief in him and his kind, need your help. Demand for Christina* Toys Children are still running true to form in their requests to Santa Claus., The girls still want dolls, play furni­ ture and toy household appliances ahd the boys want cowboy suits and me­ chanical toys year after year. Children Like to Buy Children take pride In being able to buy their own gifts for members of the family and for friends. Often mothers find their ingenuity put to a severe tost to find ideas enough to go round in the ncessarily limited price range.
