Make Spirit Of Christmas Real To Needy Tots

Christmas is drawing near. Y_iile lS abroad in the land. Holly and evergreen impart the good old Christmas atmosphere. Smiling Santa Clauses in our shops and public places remind us that the biggest day of the whole year is almost here, with its joy and cheer and happiness.

Christmas is the particular Feast of Children. It is the one great day of the year for grown ups too, but it is particularly a day dedicated to the little ones. Already,

Already the Spirit of

perhaps, in your home, childish voices are disccussing the antzcipated visit of old Santa Claus, and are besieging you with questions concerning certain details of the voyage of the jolly Saint the night before Christmas. It will be a big day for them. Tinsel. holly, pretty green wreaths, a sparkling tree, glittering colored lights, gifts hanging from the gay branches; that is Christmas. And the little ones with their gift, their favorite toys!

Would it not be tragic if, in this city little children, who today are so hopeful that their friend Kris Kringle will riot pass them by, were to awake on Christmas morn- ing to find no gift, nothing but an empty stocking on that day of days? And that is exactly what is going to happen, if you do not come forth and help. There are many. many little children in this city, who cannot hope to see the brighteness of a Christmas, who are certain of bitter, dark disappointment, unless, some Sarita Pal adopts them. But if you become a Santa Pal and supply the necessary trif- it will be different.

Here is how a Santa Pa] may bring Christmas hap- piness to some poor little child."

First, select the name of any needy child fi'0m the list of names published each morning in the Guardian. You will find the toy desired by the child opposite the name selected and the gift required. Then, when down- town shopping or selecting gifts for your little ones. re- member the little friend whom you adopted from the Guardian Santa Pal list, add the doll, or hockey stick, or building blocks. or whatever toy asked for, to your list of purchases. Include in the parcel, with the toy, an apple, orangevand some candy. Call the Guardian (Phone 133), or wrItc, or cull at the office with your gift advising to have forwarded to Santa. Pals Department. Ifmore con- venient you may remit money, instead of gift, with in- structions and the little one’s gift will be purchased and delivered by the Guardian Santa Pals department as you direct. It is requested no second hand toys be sent. As crich child is adopted by a Santa Pal his 0r her name is struck off the list. After Christmas the usual audited statement will be published.

It is not s0 hard to be a Santa Pal, is it? Just select a mime, buy a gift, include with it an applc,.an orange and some ciinily, send with instructions t0 Santa Pals Depart- ment. Guardian Office, and you will bring Christmas into the heart of some unfortunate, lonely child on the great Feast Day of Christianity.

The list of names published is provided by the clergy- men of this city and are genuinely deserving. The Guar- dian has created the Santa Pal Department, as a means of bringing some Christmas joy into the hearts of needy children. No stocking must be empty. All gifts delivered at the homes of the little ones the Saturday before Christ- mas. Do YOUR little part NOW. Select a name from the list below, let us know by phone or letter, and be a real Szinizi Pal.

Admiral Graif Spee Defeated By British Ships

Fourteen Hour Battle Ends With Nazi Naval Pride Pur- sued To Neutral Port.

.\IONTEVll)l<I0, Uruguay, Dec. iIl-(Al’)-A 11-hour running sea fight between three British cruisers and the German pocket battleship Admiral Scheer ended tonight with the badly-hit German warship taking refuge in neu- tral lllnntevideo harbor with 30 0f her crew killed iind 60 injured.

The British victory was not without its casualties, however, for the Admiralty in London admitted one of its three cruisers, the fast 8,390-ton Exeter, had been put out of action after four hours of the fight.

But the other two British warships. the 7-(lflO-tnn cruisers Achilles and Ajax, trailed the Admiral Scheer to

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Dec. l4—('l‘hursday)— The pocket battleship which took shelter here after :1 14-hour running fight with British ships was identi- fied this morning as the Admiral Graf Spee. Thirty dead were aboard the ship when she took shelter here and 60 injured. Included in the dead was a lieutenant while the commander was listed with the injured. Injuries of the latter were not considered fatal, how- cver.

The identity of the Admiral Graf Spec was the first indication the pocket battleship was operating in the Atlantic.
