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 check for $30 which reprcsen the contribution of the perso;mel at the State Patrol Academy m support of your Forty and Eighi Christmas Fund in Mason Coun- ty, It is our pleasure to avsisI you in this vital and immane program.
