The American Legion is placing
more stress on the giving of Christ­
mas baskets to the needy this year
in connection with the managing
of the community Christmas tree,
than anything else. It is planned
to have a short program, Friday,
December 21, in the Legion hall
with singing by a high school glee
club, and then invite Santa in to
give each youngster present a small
sack of candy and nuts.
Because there are a number of
families living in Vernonia at pres­
ent who are without Income and
where there are children with too
little clothes to wear and not
enough to eat, the Legion will make
an earnest attempt to bring Christ­
mas cheer into every such home
by delivering a basket of clothing,
groceries, or whatever is most need­
ed.
No personal solicitation will be
made this year, but voluntary con­
tributions are asked from as many
as can afford to give. Mayor Guy
R. Mil's has started the list off with
a voluntary gift of $5, but as yet
the fund is small, with only $60
left over from last year.
A blank is provided on page 3
of this issue for the use of any
