OAKLAND TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, NOV. 23, 1935 GOODFELLOWS, GIVE CASH: IT GOES FARTHER Here's Lesson in Economy, Demonstrated in Purchase Of Layette for Bluebird Here's one lesson to the Goodfellows, to consider cash first they want to make Christmas cheery for the cheerless. The lady with shining eyes came to the Bluebird with a brand new layette for one of the Christmas babies babies whose mothers are broken-hearted because their is nothing, nothing at all, for the new little ones. The price tag was still on the box from the store. The Bluebird caught sight of it.

The Goodfellow lady had done the best she knew -but she did not know that for the price, contributed in cash, the same Bluebird, by his special way of flying in at store windows, and the large purchasing power of the Goodfellow money bag, might have bought two identical layettes for the price she paid for one. She (Goodfellow) as she is, did not know that her service was half- service when it should have NE FLY double service and it is surprising how many Christmas babies there are this year, too many to be listed by letter. But, here is on mother who might have had the "extra" layette, if the Goodfellow had known about the double power of her gift if cash. And this mother is only one of many. "Will it be possible for me to get little help?" she asks.

"My husband has been ill for two months with a hurt spine. I have two little boys and one girl and we are expecting another baby about Christmas time. Would it be possible for me to get few clothes for the children and the baby coming? "We haven't been here long enough to receive aid from the social service. My husband has been unemployed so long things look quite hopeless. The boys are two and four and the girl is twelve.

They aren't expecting any tops, it I can only get them a few Again no suggestion of the size of clothes needed and you Goodfellows must know that it is sheer chance whether second-hand clothes fit. Imagine two children, coming trustingly to the Bluebird for clothes and finding that one is lucky enough to discover something to fit, while the brother or sister must go away ragged, because, in the whole selection, nothing would do. I don't believe the lucky one would feel any happier about it than the loser, do you? There are lucky ones, and we are glad, and grateful to the Goodfellows who made them lucky. Per- NE FLY haps that particular Goodfellow could spare the outgrown garment, when it was beyond her means, though, not beyond her heart, to spare the money which would have lifted these two children above the cruelty of mere luck. But suppose those same two ragged children had come to the Bluebird, equally trusting, and the Bluebird had said: "Come right along and hurry up.

Wait till I get my Goodfellow money bag, and I'll see that you both have clothes that fit, in a Isn't that really a happier ending? And it is an ending made possible only by the Goodfellows who help fill that money, bag, who are willing and able to add to their kindness, wisdom, that their kindness may go farther to brighten sad faces. We think mostly of children at Christmas time. But sometimes the old and lonely also long: for their little le day of brightness. Do they, too, not deserve remembering? Here comes a letter written "in behalf of an old man who lives in one tiny room. I know the man," the writer continues, "and I know he won't have any Christmas.

It you will help him, I thank you in advance." How can you bring Christmas toan old man, Goodfellows? You can not send toy? And the old and lonely and bereft are sometimes "crotchety" in their tastes. He might want a bathrobe but Just as likely he has an unappeased longing for a gold-fish bowl. The only way to bring Christmas to this old and lonely man is for the Blue- bird to have tree hand to find out what he really wants for Christmas, and to dip into the Goodfellows' cash supply to get it for him.
