Mrs. Lois Haak, Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation Chairman of Robert Van- FREE derstraeten Unit 1169 of Wonder Lake, states that the Unit has made a monetary contribution to the project and its members will assist the ' •American Legion in wrapping these gifts on Dec. 15 at Elgin. In 1944, the late in­ ternationally famous en­ tertainer^, Eddie Cantor, originated the program and Illinois has continued to sponsor this activity every year. More than 22,000 gifts are distributed during the holiday season to men and women veterans in thirty-two Veterans Administration and other hospitals and sixty con­ valescent homes. Since the program's in­ ception, the Illinois American Legion and its Auxiliary have spent in excess of three million dollars providing this holiday cheer. , Mrs. Lois Haak, Com­ munications Chairman.
