"GIVE BLATCHFORD'S QUALITY GIFTS" A bright and cheerful Christmas is anticipated at the Al- toona hospital where plans are completed for the first post-war Christmas, Some of the events of the last week have built up the Christmas spirit. First, Santa Claus and Mrs.

Santa Claua took time off from their duties at the William F. Gable department store and visited the children's ward and, with words of joy and cher, gave presents and books to each sick child. Several stores and business houses have given donations to aid the work of the hospital. The Nurses Alumna society of the hospital gave their annual Christmas party and invited the student nurses of the senior class. Gifts were exchanged and all spent a very merry evening.

Last night the student nurses and graduate nurses held a party and exchanged gifts. The annual Christmas dance, given to the nurses by the medical staff, will be held Friday, December 28. On Christmas morning, the student nurses' choir will sing caro's before breakfast to open the day. During the morning the men and boys' choir of St Luke's Episcopal church will sing carols and anthems In the hospital. This is one of the traditional parts of Christmas at the hospital.

This service has been iriven every Christmas in an unbroken line beyond any time that can be remembered but it is thought to have started at least 40 years ago. For patients, nurses and employes there will be the usual Christmas dinner. Several Girl Scout and Brownie troops have mad Christmas favors for all the patients' trays. The hospital has been tastefully decorated with laurel, spruce and Christmas trees. For the first time since the war started, the illuminated star will be placed on the flag pole on the roof of the hospital.

This can be seen from many parts of the city and has been enjoyed by hundreds as a familiar part of Christmas. Visiting hours will be extended for close relatives of patients where the condition of the patients will permit. In all a pleasant and cheerful day is expected.

Angry, jitter, frustrated, depressed, he let himself into the big studio apartment he shared with Mike White.
