Times' Santa
Speeds Gilts
To Service Men
By JEROME PETTIT
Fast nearing Iheir goal of "a
Christmas box for every service
man from the Detroit area,” Ihe
Detroit Times Santa Claus foi
Service Men workers today aie
speeding their efforts in packing
and shipping boxes that will be
distributed at a •score of military
and naval stations on Christmas
morning.
Up at Convention Hall huge
trucks are lumbering up. laden
with boxes lucked up from the
different schools and recreation
centers and inside the hall a
corps of workers of the Ladies
Auxiliary of the American Legion
under Mrs. Betty Golden, with Boy
Scouts and volunteers from the
Department of Parks and Recrea
tion, are preparing the boxes for
shipment, to the stations.
Others who are giving splendid
service are the principals and
teachers of the schools and the
members of thb Board of Educa
tion staff and the Volunteers of
America.
EXPEDITE HANDLING
Shipment to the military sta
tions is being handled by a trans
portation committee, headed by
Don Smith of the Michigan Truck
ing Association, and the distribu
tion of the boxes to the men is in
the hands of the chaplains and
morale officers at these stations.
While it is obvious that The De
troit Times cannot publish any
details of the disposition of troops
or naval personnel, we can say
that boxes from Detroit are being
sent to Fort Winfield Scott at San
Francisco. Cal.; Camp Livingston,
La.; F’ort Leonard Wood. Mo.;
('amp Grant, 111.; Fort Worden.
Wash.; F'ort Sheridan. 111.; Camp
Polk, La.; (’amp llaan. Cal : the
Aberdeen Proving Ground in
Maryland; F’ort Custer. Mich.; the
Great Lakes Training Station at
Chirago, 111.; the Naval Training
Station at Newport. R. 1., and to
the naval base at Norfolk, Va.. in
addition to several naval vessels
Hu's Year Let’s Put tfie Spirit
' • '
of Christmas into
We oil know the meaning of the spirit of
Christmas; we prove it by a little warmer
clasp of the hand, by the extra ring of
sincerity in the voice as we say "Merry
Christmas", by a hundred little acts of
thoughtfulness.
But —perhaps this is the year in which
the true meaning of Christmas should
be put into words and implanted in
the minds of our children, so that they
too may come to recognize giving as J
a privilege, not a duty. So that they
will honor Christmas as the year’s
most precious opportunity for bring
ing happiness to others.
