given of thelr purse ot provide a happy Christ for those less fortunate them Nor must the Boy Seouts be forgotten for through a period of several strenuous weeks they have spent hour after hour in mending broken toys which will gladden the hearts of many children tomorrow morning, ) The ® distribution of Christmas Cheer is in itself a colossal task, For weeks preparations have been made and now all the baskets, including dinners, und toys are assembled in a large room in the General Motors of Canada employment building which has been kindly Joaned for this pur pose, Six large trucks with drivers have also been donated by the eoms pany for the day and: these trucks will convey the baskets of cheer to various homes throughout the munis cipality, The work of distribution started at 9.30

"But we'll finish everything before tomorrow even if we are required to work until midnight" he said cheerily, Major Hamilton pointed out that many of the parcels were going to large families, The majority of these who are receiving Christmas cheer had familics of five, six and even eight children, he stated, The typi: cal baskets includes six pounds of good roast beef, a peck and a half of potatoes, a quart of milk, bread, butter, Yice, tea, syrup, buns, and other foodstuffs, If there are chil deen in the family toys are added to the basket, such as scooters, dolls, rocking horses, or teddy bears, The toys are all quite good and as Major Hamilton aptly put it "Some eo these kiddies will think that they are in heaven tomorrow,' ' Those in charge of the work of dis tribution have been greatly relieved ue to the fact that General Motors 8 looking after the delivery of the baskets, The Boy Scouts have ren- dered much valuable assistance and mas selves, a Bt ra Oshawa Homes
