find little from Santa Claus come Christmas morning.

shown here will go to children in families hit by the Vanport
flood, others will go to a mission in Portland to be dis
tributed through the interdenominational church group. Others
assisting in sewing and stuffing the toys after they were cut
out by the two sister-in-law have been Mesdames J. H. Lewis,
Marland Hadley, Don Whitesell, William Bailey, Viola Lewis,

an, principal of Chemawa In
dian school grades, spoke at the

appreciation of the project of the

the school. Mrs. Brannan had
with her for display pictures
made by the pupils of the grade
school. -
The visit of the local Christ

a short program, probably will
be Wednesday evening of this

Chemawa being noticeably aug
mented during the past year, the
club decided to present the group
with a general gift that could
be used by many rather than the
individually wrapped presents aa
of former years. The presenta
tion project this season is to be
roller skates for the older youths
and toys and individual dishes
for the younger ones.
Boxes of home-made cookies
and candies are to be general
gifts for all students.
At the close of the evening's
program, which was at the
Marsh home, Mrs. Elaine Schell
and Mrs. Gerald Smedstad were
hostesses. Nominal gifts were
exchanged and late refreshments
were served.
