The Health and Welfare
Chamber of Commerce will
again this year sponsor rhe
“Chri -•ma' Basket for
Needy Families” project.
The project consists of
collecting food and toys to
include in the baskets for
those whose Christmas will
not be a joyous affair be-
I cause of the lack of neces-
’ sary funds.
■ Each year, the entire com- i
I munity cooperates in pro-
I vfding the necessary item
1 for use in making up rhe
I baskets. Generally, about
one third of the necessary
items of food is supplied
and the Health and Welfare
Committee provides the ad-
ditional items by purchase.

spent approximately $650 for
additional commoditie. for
