Vets in Hospital to Enjoy a Very Merry Christmas From the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific coast, wherever a Veterans' bureau hospital harbors a disabled war veteran from Chicago, Christmas cheer from the Chicago chapter of the Amer- ican Red Cross will find its way this Yuletide. Mrs. Grace Pettingill, volunteer ser- vice director of the chapter at 616 South Michigan avenue, Chicago, and hundreds of volunteer women have been busy for many days preparing the holiday messages and gifts for these 575 Chicago men, each of whom is to be remembered as an individual, and not merely as a soldier or sailor. In addition to the veterans, there are a number of disabled Red Cross nurses who will receive similar cheer- ful packages. Packages bearing gifts for each of the veterans, with a plentiful supply of those minor things that lend the real holiday atmosphere--mistletoe, holly, candy, Christmas cards and so forth, are being tied up and addressed at the Chicago chapter of the Red Cross, and will be mailed out in plenty of time to reach the ex-service men before De- cember 25. As for the remainder of the veterans with whom the Chicago chapter has had contact, special preparations are being made to carry holiday messages to them also. Market baskets filled with savory fruit cakes, salted nuts, candy bars, small bottles of grape juice, packages of raisins, oranges, ap- ples and individual gifts and decorated with bright poinsettas and red rib- bons, will be carried to the various hospitals in and around Chicago, in- cluding the Great Lakes hospital, the Municipal Tuberculosis sanitarium, the Winfield sanitarium, the Veterans' hos- pital at North Chicago, the Speedway, Oak Forest, Chicago Fresh Air hos- pitals and others. } Mrs. Pettingill says that never be- fore since the war have so many pack- ages been sent to the veterans.
