With the names ot over 50 fam-
ily groups already listed as worthy
of Christmas consideration by the
,0 and 8-Mason County Journa[
annual Christmas fund, the plan to
see that every needy family of
Mason county have a Merry
Christmas were being perfected
this week. In an effort to have
the kindness of fund contributors
carried to every family, and that
none be overlooked, 40 and 8 com-
mittee workers ask that any per-
son with information as to such
unfortunate people, please advise
The Journal or 40 and 8 member.
.o
Gus Oraf of the l'aramount
thea.tre brought a big surge of
helpfulness to the fund with a
• collection of 422 articles of
foodstuff that will go into the
Individual Christmas boxes. Gus
entertained hundreds of kids at
two matinee performances, the
youngsters contributing food for
. their axlmisslons. In addition to
the food, $16.16 in cash was rc-
cc|ved and helped to swell the
money total.
Among the many contributions
of various kinds that will make
up the help to needy people here
this Christmas, it is a pleasure
to acknowledge two fine gifts
from Shelton Girl Scout Troop No.

ABOVE IS REPRESENTED a meaning of
the Christmas story. The two local youngsters
are pictured kneeling in front of the altar of a
Shelton church. Christianity's birth began with
the birth of Christ, and has remained the high-
est goal of much of mankind through all years
since.
Jn St. Luke 2 are the words, "And Joseph
al3o went up from Galilee, out of the city of
Nazareth, into Judeae unto the city of david,
wlich is called Bethlehem . . . And so it was,
that, while they were there, the days were
accomplished that she would be delivered. And
she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped
hlm In swaddling clothes, and laid him In a
manger; because there was no room for them
in the inn. And there was in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch
over their flock by night. And, Io, the angel of
the Lord came upon them: and they were sore
afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear
not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all people. For
unto you is born this day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
Christmas is on Sunday, and the local
churches welcome all to their services. (Picture

Word relayed to The Journal
from the Jaycees who lmve direct

cates that old l';enL i:s ready to
slide into town Friday night and
give out a tholmanq sacl¢' of can-
dy, nuts, apples and or-rages to
the kiddies in Shelton and Mason
County.

ting in front of the postoffi('e on
Raih'oad Avenue for the big af-
fair. As parents gu shopping in
the stores, the kiddies may join
the fun and watch for Santa.
The program will start at seven
o'clock Friday evening with a
short address by Mayor Harry
Carlon and Christmas carols by
the lrene S. Reed High School
Choir, under ,the direction of Lynn
Sherwood.
"Because the weather nay be
cold or wet, we are making the
program a short one," said Hokie
Hokonson, recreation board chair-
man. After the short prom'am
Santa wil make his appearance.

sor will ride over wheels.

his gifts, Santa will bring along
four helpers who will distribute
the treats in four directions. "Pour
lines," he figures, "will cut the
time for treats giving to one

see him. The kiddies all arc in-
vited.
