for the next 10 years. The mo-
ney will be kept in a trust fund
already established for the girl's
education.
By 1970, when all the dona-
tions have been made, the "An-
other Elizabeth" will have .con-
tributed over $4,000 to the ,girl
who asked Santa three years ago
to look after the poor children.
Elizabeth Knox is the twin
daughter of Rev. Norman Knox,
former pastor at Trivitt Memo-
rial Anglican church, and now
in Lambeth. She wrote her let-
ter to Santa when the family was
in Exeter and her message ap-
peared in The Times -Advocate's
special Christmas edition of
1956. It read:
"There are poor children who
need presents more than I do.
I hope you have plenty of toys
for them. Bring a new dress for
the little black girl on TV." If
Santa had anything left over,
she added, he might bring her
a "cow called Molly Moo -Moo."
"Another Elizabeth" read the
letter in a London restaurant
and sent $7.0 to The London Free
Press to provide the girl with
"Molly Moo -Moo." The newspa-
per purchased two of the staffed
toys, the other for twin sister,
Dianne."
Next year, the Toronto lady
forwarded $110 to Elizabeth. 'Fif-
ty dollars was to be donated to
a charity of the girl's choice. $50
to buy presents for her parents
and $10 for her own gift.
The Knox family sent $100 to
a leper camp in India, home of
the "little black girl on TV."
Last year, "Another Eliza-
beth" stuffed $1,000 in bills in a
tin box and forwarded it to the
girl to help pay for her educa-
tion The amount was put into a
trust fund which will be held for
Elizabeth until she is 21,
This year, $300 was forwarded
by a friend of "Another Eliza-
beth" whom the latter had en-
trusted to continue the gifts for
10 years. The accompanying let-
ter described he ;ioy which had
entered the elderly lady's life
since she had read the letter to
Santa.
