SOME CHILD HAPPY Good Fellows, there is an antidote* for this machine age, an anodyne for the years that are creeping, if ever so slowly, upon all of us grownups It can be found before or after dawn on December 25 anywhere a little child looks on with shining ey$s at gifts which you have helped to purchase.' The Fountain of Youth can again be yours for a little while. All you have to do if you want to feel that thrill is to be enrolled with the Good Fellows. It is a frequent complaint in the large cities these days that charity has itself become a machine. Recipients, card indexed by governments and great impersonal ^organizations, are called relief clients and are referred to by numbers. Funds to carry on such organized aid are now largely drawin from taxation. Thus, while machine relief does furnish food and clothing, It does not and cannot provide the poor with the simple toys, the little fir trees, and the special food that gives to Christmas an air pf jollity. Nor can it make its own donors Good Fellows, men of good will. There i# no formula, lacking the, touch of individual human kindliness, to solve the problem and take on the responsibility for making each Christmas a joyous one for ma«ny youngsters hoping desperately and usually a little doubtfully, that they won't be forgotten utterly when the good things are passed around. In other years every home in this vicinity has been brightened at Christmas time by the arrival of a Good Fellow with a basket of food and toys. The appeal this year comes at a time when a tremendous responsibility to provide for needy families rests on the nation, ftate, county and town. Send In Donations Donations will be gladly received by officers of the McHenry Township Emergency Relief association or at the Plaindealer office and credit will be given each donation through the columns of this paper. Organizations have responded generously during the past week and affairs .are being planned to raise additional funds for charity work.
