Under his tree will be a pile of packages, some little and some big and containing a variety of toys and many articles of warm clothing. Six-year-old Terry, who be came a ward 01 tne county a week ago when his uncle was taken into custody on charges of mistreating him, told Juvenile Officer Robert Elder that he was afraid Santa Claus wouldn't know where to find blm. The day after the story of Terry appeared in the Tribune, pack ages began arriving at Mr. El der's office and home and the phone began to ring. Families, individuals and firms Inquired after Terry and offered him toys, clothing and funds. A few offers of a permanent home were made. By today a large pile of pack ages occuoied a corner of Mr. Elder's office in the courthouse and these were to be taken this evening to the home where he Is staying temporarily. Mr. El der brought Terry downtown Wednesday afternoon to the bar bershop for a haircut, and with part of the funds given him. bought a sweater and other articles of clothing. Other Wards Noted Among Terry's gifts was a box of toys and clothing from the employees of Newberry's store, the women on the postoffice staff bought the boy gifts and contributed money for clothing, and employees of the Motor Market provided funds for a warm sweater. Part of the money contributed was used to buy Christmas treats of candy, nuts and fruit. Through Terry, attention was called to the 19 or 20 other wards of the county, children of all sizes and ages who are orphaned or otherwise made homeless, and gifts for these children are also being provided, Mr. Elder states. Terry is enjoying the compan ionship of a group of these children In the home where he Is being kept, since the couple already have the care of five county wards and also provide a home for a grandchild. He is responding to the nourishing food and motherly care in his foster-home, Mr. Elder says, and with the other children is eager ly planning a Merry Christmas. OBITUARY All.titltitititi In WORLD filled with WAR, where Hatred, Greed and Selfish net seem to reign supreme, an other Christmas Season has come. Peace on Earth and Good Will among men seem to have tempor arily vanished from the face of tho earth. War has dimmed the lights of Tolerance, Freedom and Re ligion. With the day of Victory, may the lights of all we hold most dear burn more brightly than ever before and guide and bless men of all nations and all creeds. May this year of all years, awaken each of us to the task that is be fore us, and when Christmas comes again to the world, may there be Peace on Earth and Good Will toward men.
