The Main objective for this
Christmas time is relief for the
hungry, relief for the needy.
The United States is going to
spend more money in improvements
so that more people will have em
ployment. States, counties, cities and
individuals are asked to do likewise.
Then the community chest comes a-
long to help those remaining, and
they have all reached their quota.
THE UNDERNOURISHED CHIL
DREN OF OUR STATE
There are many undernourished
children in the homes of the well-to
do, not because of lack of food, but
for lack of knowledge in using that
food. There are many others under
nourished and indeed hunger is
gnawing at their vitals, because
there is not sufficient food in tha
house. To those the Christmas Seal
comes with hope and healing. The
