Editor, The Pilot:
Dear Friends: At Christmas
time your thoughts always turn
to home, and although I've spent
little time at home in the past
few years, a few still remember
me.
You’ve all read a lot about this
little peninsula. Quite a few’ of
the gang around there I went to
school with have seen the mud,

tell you what it’s like if tl^ey will.
This little town has more or­
phans then you’d dream exist. ’
75 per cent of tYc kids around
here are in that category. You
see, the town has changed hands
thFee times. That’s pretty tough
on little kids.
Anyway, a lot of you have chil­
dren's clothing kicking around the
house that are worn out, out­ \\
grown and out of style If some-
