Christmas Fund Tops
1 That deluge of donations we
beseeched last week for the 40 et
8-Journal Christmas basket fund
came floating in like the snow-
flakes.
Nice going, neighbors! Beauti-
ful work l The crescendo of cash
and checks piled up to a $504
total for the week, more than
doubling the $370.50 which had
been contributed during the pre-
vious month.
The total at presstime Wednes-
day was $874.50, somewhat short
of the $I,000 goal sought, but
these few days remaining before
Christmas might even see that
deficiency rectified. How about
it? Christmas basket workers
(40 & 8 voyageurs, 8 & 40 part-
ners, some of their families and
some Legionnaires and auxiliary
ladies) will get at the task today
and tonight in the PUD 3 audi-
torium of assembling the food
and toys into huge Christmas
baskets, then Friday will deliver
them to over 80 unfortunate Ma-
son County families. The deliver-
ies Will be handled by PUD 1
and 3 staff members, 40 & 8 voy-
ageurs, shariff's deputies, and
city policemen.
Before going into the list ,f
new donors during the pas week.
we have two corrections to make
on last week's list. In lhc 7)15Q
total listed last week we unimen-
tionally skipped a $10 comribu-
tion from the Ladies Auxiliary
Madrona Barracks, Worhi W>'.r
I Veterans, and the S5 was k:[
off after Mr. and lVIrm Edward
Kroh's donation.
Now on with the new. The
week's list includes one c<mh-i.
bution of $30 from the pets, rand
at the State Patrol Academ.
which was accompanied by he
following note: "Ench.)sed is .ur
