Active Year For catholic Social Welfare Bureau

The year 1950 was note-worthy for the fact. that tlhere were prob- a-bly more demands made on the charity of the people of Prince Edward Island than ever before. Fund-raising efforts of service groups. welfare organizations and societies, and health and welfare instiviutions. all cut deeply into the financial resources of our people. But with the generosity character- lstic of Islanders, with the com- ing of the Christmas, season they found room to give a little more.

Through open-hear-ted donations of the citizens of Charlottevlown the Catholic Social Welfare Bureau this year was able to continue its work of providing boxes of food to needy families in tlhc city area in order to make i-i. possible for them to share in the blessings and joy of the Christmas season. Christmas boxes. containing food, clothing and toys, were provided to approximately fifty families.

A Christmas tree party was sponsored by the Bureau for over one hundred poor which gifts, fruit. and candy were distributed by Santa Claus. Re- membrances in the form of in- dividual gifts and food hampers were sent to patients at the Pro- vincial Sanatorium. at the Pro- vincial Infinnary, at the Beach Grove Annex. and at Falconwood Hospital. and to the prisoners at. the County Jail.

The Board of Directors and the duff of the Catholic Social Wei- fare Bureau wishes to take the opportunity provided by the col- umns of the Guardian of thanking all those who generously donated. food. clothing. gifts, and rnbney: and all volunteer workers who helped prepare baskets and par- cels and who delivered the Chriat- lnaa packs ea, to the needy re- cipients. ey also wish to,d-irect a very special "Ihank You" to Santa Claus who made the long his the poor children. for whom he has a medial affection.
