The Salvation Army, whose sidewalk collection stands are a traditional part of the Christmas celebrate ! scene, also operates family serv ice bureaus in- most cities through which more substantial contributions of cash, food, cloth ing, toys or even furniture may be channeled to very poor fami lies.

Those who prefer to express their Christmas spirit more di rectly may telephone the admin istrative offices of local orphan ages, old folks' homes, or hos pitals. Officials of such agencies usually urge that individual or organization make arrangements well in advance of Christmas to. give, parties, invite Christmas dinner guests or distribute pres ents. Last-minute impulses are difficult to accommodate to in stitutional situations.
