Thousands Of Christmas Gifts
Sent By DAR To Service People
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—Daugh
ters of the American Revolution
Monday will celebrate their great
est Christmas, measured in terms
of giving.
Thousands of gifts and packages,
together with many thousands of
"buddy bags” have been sent to
all parts of the world by the more
than 2,500 chapters of the National
Society, Mrs. Julius Y. Talmadge
president general announced at
headquarters here.
The “buddy bags”, containing all
kinds of articles, even packs of cig
arettes, were sent to the men- of
the United States Coast Guard.
Children and youths in D. A. R
schools, particularly those located
in the mountains of the southland,
today lugged home to their moun
tain cabins in the hills, all kinds
of gifts, ranging from toys and
“city dressed” dolls, to warm cloth
ing and useful things. Q
Sick and injured seamen, veter
an light - house keepers and others
who will go to sea no more, were
remembered in the hospital on El
lis Island by a Christmas Tree and
all the trimmings, and received
gifts and presents. The D. A. R.
supports and operates the occupa
tional therapy school of the hos
pital.
Mrs. Talmadge, looking over the
reports from chapters said:
“Our Christmas work has exceed
ed all expectations. Members of the
D. A. R. through their chapters
have brought joy and happiness tc
ipany, many thousands of people
of all ages and in all walks of life.
While ouf gifts to the men in serv
ice went to ever part of the world,
we concentrated our efforts on the
“buddy bag” project, to supply a
bag of useful articles and comforts
to the men of the Coast Guard.
A total of more than 3,000 "buddy
bags” were made and filled by oui
members. Sweaters and other knit
ted articles also were sent out in
quantities. 819 of the bags were
sent to Alaska; 982 to the Aleu
tians, Greenland and Iceland. In
many instances they were dropped
from aeroplaes to those isolated
in remote areas. The Coast Guard
is arranging that hundreds of these
hags are to be delivered to the
Coast Guard vessels leaving before
Christmas. The bags will be deliv
ered to the chhplains who will dis
tribute them to the men on Chiist
mas morning.
“While our war work was of
course foremost in our program,
we did not curtail our activities to
help the children in our mountain
and other schools and our great
work in the government hospital at
Ellis Island.”
Special attention was given to the
gifts sent to,-the schools in the
mountains, Tamassee in South Car
