They're so easy to make and so easy to break. Just because I've never been to take too much stock in making resolutions, I'll break right into print with few Red Cross news notes yule find helpful, I'm sure. We might call this a little Christmas back talk, since it relates many interesting items, which have recently taken Red Cross annals during the past Christmas festivities. Over 40,000 gift-laden stockings were distributed to patmilitary hospitals in the Far East and Europe, and several thousand more went to soldiers and airmen in bleak outposts from the Arctic Circle to, North Africa. Each stocking contained 10 gifts, all inexpensive but serviceable to someone thousand miles from home.

Such articles AR address books and pencils, pen pencil sets, miniature knives and key. holders on a chain, puzzles, guidebooks, wrapping paper, ribbon, and candy were, included. The filled stockings, about $1.25 each, were filled individually cond gift wrapped by chapter volunteers. Three hundred large decoration sufficient for a group of 100 or more persons and containing gally colored paper, tinsel, tree decorations, and other trappings of the season- were shipped to Red Cross field directors overseas to give the Christmas touch to hospital recreation rooms and wards. Men on 3 troopships, were given presents Red Cross on Christmas Day through the Christmas on the high seas program.

Chapters participating in this program wrapped gifts donated by clubs, business organizations, Individuals, and the Red Cross itself. Cards of donors were attached to the gifts. As was done last year, Red Cross had games, tree decorations, and candy dropped by parachute to small contingent of Americans at a remote outpost in Labrador. Because the location is snowed in and no planes can land, even mail is delivered by parachute. Each month the Red Cross sends large box of reading material which the airmen thoroughly enjoy.

Happy, happy New Year to you, one and all, and until next Saturday, your rambling reporter, MinWilson Campbell, reminds you that: "By her who in this month is born, No gems save garnets should be worn; They will insure her constancy, True friendship and fidelity."
