Creech Is in charge of the Christmas
bureau of the confidential exchange.
Her Christmas or Santa Claus tele
phone number is Marshall 1397. The
room where she anil her Busy assis
tutUs are in charge is 145 courthouse.
By notifying her individuals and or
ganizations may obtain names of
t.eedy families whom they may help
at Christmas time. This , exchange
prevents duplication. One' year, be
fore the exchange existed, a poor
family received five baskets of food
to be cooked. As the mother had
no fuel, not even clothes pins or a
board from a back fence, she was
faced with a problem how should
she cook the food'.' The exchange
does away with all such difficulties.
Some of the girls who help in as
sorting lists and in doing index work
PORTLAND, OREGON, SUNDAY
and filing are members of prominent
families and are always favorites at
social gatherings. But they are so
busy they have little time to attend
functions just now. Society girls are
among the devoted workers in many
of the charitable affairs this year.
Maybe that's one reason why these
girls are so interesting. They are
never at a loss for material for con
versation. The marriage of Miss Dymon Povey

MORNING, DECEMBER
Thursday, December 28. The bride
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David
