Mrs. Charles Benâ€" |son is chairman of the committee. The approach of the Christmas seaâ€" son finds the committee on coâ€"operaâ€" tion with War Veterans busy with preparations to give the exâ€"service men cheer and they wish to do their share in helping the Veterans to have "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." Suits, sweaters, overcoats, flowers, plants, socks, bath robes, cakes, home made candy, cigarettes, playing cards and a radio have been contributed since September by various members. All immediate needs have been met and with a fine spirit of coâ€"operation. An urgent request was made for an overcoat; a member said immediately "Oh! I‘ll go home and get my husâ€" bands!" which she did and the exâ€" service man had the coat within six hours. On Dec. 22 some of the committee will gather at 10 o‘clock at the Red Cross house to fill Christmas stockâ€" ings for the men and help wrap the Christmas gifts. The Highland Park Woman‘s club is giving $35 toward the fund for a uniform box for each patient. They have their adopted unit, which is South 16, and here a tree will be placed and trimmed and individual gifts for the 24 patients distributed. It is said that whiskers are coming back into popularity this year at the University of Kentucky. We should think they would be quite a handicap, especially to the quarterback.
