"CHRISTMAS IN JULY" CONTINUES THROUGH SUMMER "Christmas in July,", appropriately describes ?the important and eminently worthy project continuing through the summer for the Elgin State hospital. The committee, consisting of sixteen members of the volunteer services program, met on the hospital grounds for an informal picnic to discuss its many plans for its big 1957 Christmas project, which is only one of its numerous activities to benefit and enrich the lives of the patients throughout-the'year. "Christmas in July" is a plan to make certain that every hospital patient is remembered with an attractively wrapped gift during the Christmas season. Such an undertaking, being of mammoth proportions, requires extensive ground turn trip .to Florida. Mrs. Keenan and son Tom-, will make their trip homeward later this summer. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Carney, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Carney and Miss Martha Althoff, all of Kenosha, Wis., were Sunday afternoon visitors at the Althoff home. The Gerald Wakitschs entertained her sister and family last Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Rudy Lasser entertained relatives from Chicago on Thursday dif last week. Work, and that is why the committee is beginning its work now. The committee is contacting various organizations and clubs -- business and professional, church, civic, honorary and social -- to land their assistance in securing and wrapping suitable gifts for the various wards. m Among committtee mernbers are Mrs. F. Vaughn Jones, Mrs. A. R. Mullere and Mrs. Stanley Lezak of McHenry. Any one»of the above may be contacted by those who care to contribute. They would appreciate receiving new or used items in good condition.
