We wish til take this time and
place to expre. onr appreciation
to all of you who have been so
coo|M*rative in helping u.s to get
out the i -.t two editions of the
Advertiser by calling it; and tell-
ing us about your holiday ku«'>t.^
and visits, and by sending in club,
social and civic reports .so
promptly.
It is really the day by day
happenings of individuals and
group in «he town that make a
newspaper, and since it is impos-
sible to contact every per on in
town every week, we must de-
pend on the help of the people
who ate kind enough to provide
u with the information. And
-urely, unles- we are told about
it. or happen to hear about it,
we are very likely to overlook
an important event.
So your railing us or dropping
notes in the mail to u- a real
favor not only to the paper, but
to its readers, as well.
Several yeai ago the Bu.-trop
I.ion Club started a Christina-
Fund thai nit- 1m ei far-reaching
r th good (hat it ha- done. It
ha not been given much public-
ity : n any people do not know
what the club i.- doing at Christ-
mas time to bung a little cheer
and happine >, and badly needed
help, to some of the families
living almost on our very door
steps.
Mo r of a? read newspaper or
magazine -tone* of families who
need help, and we feel deeply
the distress and hunger of people
in our larger cities, but few- of
Us stop to realize that there are
a few people who do not have
enough to eat nor enough clothing
to keep warm, living in shacks
tha* fail to keep out the cold
north wind and the rain almost
within the \ity limits "f Bastrop.
These are the kind of people
the Lions Club Christmas com-
mittee weeks out each year, and
provide them with as mm h food
and clothing, with a little "Santa
r;„u " fot the children, as their
limited funds will allow them
\ri*ording to one member of that
< ,<• •• it tee t), year, about $'C'o
was avai able for thi* work, when
at least $7<HJ wa needed That
meant that om* of these people
were not proper!y provided for
tha' the help given to them a>
of liecessity le- ■ than they should
have had However. the committee
spent a Rood bit of time repair-
!• if oM toys and making the
packages to -■ delivered, tret h-
ing the money they had a- far
a it would go.
And while this wa.-. going on,
there were many of us who had
contributed nothing to that fund
many of us at in warm, com-
fortable, even luxurious homes
and 4 uf fed ourselve with food
we did not need, and received
<■ :tborate gifts we could iiavi done
very nicelj without. We had no
thought >>f tho.e who were less
fortunate, who, but foi the grace
of (tod, might have bee-, oui
elve*' \ rid if we did think of
them, in the same instant we could
i e;nen lie.i no parUcuIat pei -o
