Again, the Future Homemakers
of Leonard plan to share their
Jhristmas with teen-agers in for-
eign countries. This custom of
sending packages ' was ’ inspired
hrough the kindries of th^ G. I.’s
to European children during the
war. The first gifts were sent in
1945.
Jhe gifts to be ^sent are gloves,
scarves, stationery, games and
toys for children or anything which
you would give your best friend,
your beau, your little sister or
brother. Usually, when the foreign
teens receive packages, they write
the donor;
