Red Cross Plays Santa to Vets; Also Camp Men Fearful that Santa might forget some of the soldiers and sailors in this part of the country, the Chicago Chapt- er of the Red Cross decided it would provide for the service men this Christ- mas. The task was completed this week, after more than five hundred volunteers took part. The presents to the men in the hos- pitals are the most elaborate. Every Chicago man in an army hospital in the midwest, and many who are per- manently disabled and at home, on Christmas morning will receive a big square box labelled with his own name, and wishing him a Merry Christmas. Inside the box he will find half a pound of fruit cake, a box of choco- late candy, a box of hard candy, a deck of playing cards, a box of nuts three packages of gum, cigarettes, a a box of cheese, raisins, shaving cream and talcum powder. All the articles were purchased by the Red Cross and are of fine quality. The boys at the camps will not be forgotten. Big cretonne bags--1556 of them for Fort Sheridan and 1635 for Great Lakes alone--filled with gum, cigarettes, cards, handkerchiefs, a comb and a housewife's kit will go to them. Ex-service men at the Oak Forest Infirmary are being remembered by the Red Cross, as well. More than a hundred filled stockings will be sent to the inmates of that home. The volunteer headquarters of the Red Cross have been thronged with workers packing these parcels. Early this week the job was finished and they were put in the mail BAHA'l LECTURE At this holiday season, for the cele- bration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the topic of Dr. Vail's address at the Baha'i temple, Linden avenue and Sheridan road, Wilmette, will be: "The Eternal New Commandment-- the New Significance of Christmas."
