These youngsters, several thous and in number, are devoting many hours this month to filling stock ings, making tray favors, window transparencies, wall decorations, and toys, and gathering books and candy for the hospitals and homes- Make Gifts for Veterans. Most of the work is done through the schools, where teachers aid their pupils in planning and making the items. The older pupils this year are making and filling large red stockings for the veterans, at the Newington Vet erans Hospital and the Rocky Hill Veterans Home. The stockings are being filled with candy, cigarettes, writing materials, shaving equip ment and the like.

Members of some sewing classes i are making stutred toys lor the younger hospital patients, and woodworking students have made wooden dolls and animals.

Items which cannot be made are donated by the members or bought from the chapter's funds. Work Continues Through Tear. Although the Christmas season is the biggest time for the youngsters, similar work continues on a smaller scale all during the school year.

Many items, such as tray favors, are made by the children in response to requests from local institutions. In addition to the local work, the members fill boxes of school supplies, personal items, and a few toys for children in war torn countries. At several Hartford schools this phase of the Junior Red Cross work has been supple mented by the preparing of note books telling about life In Hart ford and the writing of letters to accompany the boxes. The Junior Red Cross obtains money for its work by a campaign conducted among the school chil dren members and by receiving an allotment from the local chapter's fund campaign.

I Louis I. Dublin, second vice-pres-1 ident and statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. in tne current American journal of Public Health.
