Let's tum the pages of time back to another December afternoon.

"Mama". four year old Mary asked her mother for the hun- dredth time, “ilowi-many days till Santa comes?" -

"Just tonight and - tomorrow night. then Santa Claus night,” the mother repLed, lifting he: eyes" wearily from the little threadbare garment she was patching.

“Santa Claus won't forget my dolly. will he mama?" the child persisted.

"I don't know dear, poor Santa hns an awful lot of little boys and girls to visit. He brought you lots of things last year. R. ember? You wouldn't mind if he didn't have enough for all his little people this year, you're getting in be a big girl now.” "O mama", the child cried, tears in her voice, "I do want a dolly so much".

"Don't cry, dear, Santa didn't forget you yet. Run out and play now."

"Jim,” the little girl's mother said to her husband that night, “how in the world are we going to get something ior the kiddies this year?"

"I don't know I'm sure; it's been worrying me. The poor kids we co.ri‘t give them much but we'll iluve to do something. Maybe I'll get. work tomorrow, then we'd be all right."

“O ii you only would," the moth- er breathed prayer-filly. ' Came the afternoon of Decem- ber 24th. . with her husband still out look- ing for work and ilothing for the little ones‘ stockings the lines of worry on the pretty mother's face hull deepened. In the midst 0! a reverie of happier Christmas sea- sons‘ the doorbell rang.

A man asized, “Dom-mentioning the children's names-Mme here?" "Why yes", the bewildered moth- er answered.

"Then here's some things from the Guardian's Santa Pals", he re- plied handing her several parcels. “Bless the knd person who sent these" the mother whispered to herself as she hurried upstairs to hide the things from little prying

Chinese troops inside the barri- caded city oi Nanking, apparently convinced the capital would fail before the oncoming Japanese le- gions, today began destroying mili- tary supplies and equipment to keep them from being taken by the enemy.

Scores of thousands of civilians, including at last report many for- cgners, messed in the residential area, which the Japanese said

would not be attacked. All exits wclo closed. ‘
