Florists Remember Sick And Maiiiled

DETROIT‘, Mi_cii., Dec. 23, —- If. will be “Merry Christmas” after all for sic-k, maimed and crippled {youngsters throughout North Amer- ica. if the fiorlsts of the United States and Canada have their way.

Willi their goal "a Christmas tree in the children's ward of every hos- pital ln North America", the florists are now installing the trees in more than 2200 cities and towns, under the leadership of the International Florists‘ Telegraph Delivery Associa- tion. with headquarters in Detroit. This is the third successive year the association has undertaken the Christmas tree project.

“We are able to carry on the pro- ject successfully." said Otto Larg, president of the association, "be- cause citizens of tlfe various com- munities are willing to play the part of good Samaritans by donating trimmings iuid ornaments with which to decorate the trees. These citizens, like the florists who provide the trees, recognize the fact that Christmas is the children's favorite holiday—and that. to those unfor- tunate enough to be hospitalized, it

‘ The 6,000 members of the associa- tion in the United States and Can- fldil. ihfflilgh two years’ experience, are familiar with the procedure 1n the sizeable project of installing trees in countless hospital wards, In each community. there is a Christmas 'I‘i'ee Committee, which determines the number of trees re- quired and selects the finest and most symmetrical obtainable.

(Io-operation of outside interests, clubs and social groups, is solicited ioy the Christmas tree committees in order that an adequate supply of ornaments and trimmings may be furnished. During the last Christ. mas season, a, variety of groups lent willing assistance. Among them were Boy and Girl Scouts, women's clubs, luncheon clubs, church organ. izations and the like.

After issuing final instructions to florists of his Association, Mr. Lang thanked in advance the citizens and Ermlbs for their cooperation.

"This year, because times are so much better, it looks as though we would more nearly realize our goal —-a Christmas tree in the children's ward of every hospltal-—-than ever 118M111." Mr. Lang concluded. ‘

Heavy Christmas " Mail For Far North

(C. P- By Guardian's Special Wire) EDMONTON, Dec. 23.—If Christ-

mas mail is any criterion, northern.

ers are extremely popular fellows.

Airplanes are carrying 13,760 let- ters and 3.261 pounds of magazines, papers and parcels of Christmas PYfI-‘isnts to 20 trading posts and mining settlements reaching from MCMlliTtIY to the Arctic Coast.

And that doesn't include letters written by children to Santa glans, either. The merry gentleman hlm. self arranges transportation of hi; fan mnil.

The letters were stuffed into 20 mail sacks while the parcels were contained in 50 bags.

Definite the expense of flying mail t0 the trading posts, no extra charge is made with the exception of parcels because the post oflioe has‘ no other system of transporting mail to the North.

Even if the trapper lives atCop- permlnc on the Arctic coastline, he may receive regular subscriptions of newspapers and magazines at t5.- same cost as the resident in Leduc, Alta, for example.

Parcels and bundles of reading matter which are not regular sub. BCPIPMOns must pay a. special air mail rate.

The latter ruling is made to pre- vent an overwhelming flood 0f air mail from relatives posting huge bundles of reading matter and par- eels.

Prior to the air mail, Christmas mail or the far North had to be posted this summer before in order to be carried by river boats before winter began.

This week four Canadian Airways Limited pilots are carrying the last. of the Christmas air mail to the North points clown the lower Mac- kenzie River. Weather is delaying their progress and there's lust a possibility that the pilot who is fly- ing to Aklavik, 1,768 air miles north of here. will not return to his home in MeMurray in time for Christmas. And then the weather man may be called unpleasant things by that particular aerial postman.

The 20 posts receiving the Christ- mas mail are: Embarass Portage, Fort Chipewyan. Fort Fitzgerald. Fort Smith. Fort Resolution, Hay River, Piort Providence, Fort. Simp- son. Wrigley, Fbrt Norman, Fort‘ Good Hope, Arctic Red River, Fprf. McPherson, ‘Aklavik, Herschel Ia. land, Goldfields, Fond Du. Lac, Fort Rae, Cameron Bay and Coppermine.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) CALLANDER, Ont, Dec. 24- Tho Dionne quintuplets have taken to switching on lights in the middle of the night, forcing Dr- Allan Roy Defoe, their physician and guardian, to make another change in their nursery‘ before "they celebrate Christmas. '

First he introduced unbreakable dishes when the quints had smash- ed several doaen plates and saucers by tossing them on the floor. To- day workmen completed install- ation of shatter-proof automobile glass in the nursery. The girls had broken 25 windows in two months. mostly by throwing alphabet blocks through them.

When the glazlers finished the latest defence’ against the quints‘ pitching arms, electricians set to work moving the electric light

switch to prevent recurrence of the ,

midnight parties the qulnts have been staging lately. " . -

Perhaps she was looking for Santa Claus when Yvonne, always the most venturesome of the five. woke up the other night and. standing in her bed below the light switch, reached up and turn- ed it. The nursery was flooded with light, Annette, Cecile, Emilie and Marie opened their eyes and the fun was on.

Nurse Yvonne Leroux heard them giggle and then try to climb out of their beds. She put a stop to all that and the next night Yvonne was moved to another bed _away from the switch and Cecile took her place.

It was four o'clock in the morn- ing before Cecile turned on the lights, The nurses suspect Yvonne put her up to it. The same Per- formance was gone through again and this time the bed was moved far away from the switch

Dr. Dafoc preferred its original position so the switch was moved today and the bed returned to its place while Dr. Defoe and the nurses wondered what prank the IB-month-old babies would stage next.

Perhaps they will be better be- haved Christmas Day when Oliva and Elzire Dionne, their parents. and the five older Dionne children Join them 1n a. dinner at the Dafoe Hospital. Through their guardians the quints have bought presents for all their near relatives and they will be placed under the tree that was brought into the

nursery over the week-end.

It will be strictly a family af- fair with even Dr. Dafoe absent- lng himself from the ouint hm- pital for the day. Mr. and Mrs. Dionne will be in charge and it will be up to them to decide whether the qulnts will have their first taste of turkey.

To the quints the Christmas fes- tlvities may seem an old story. Thfiy had a Christmas tree. a Santa Claus in Dr. Defoe and a lot of gifts spread before them weeks ago when ncwsp per photo- Efflphs Of their Chi‘ tings Dre- Darations were taken.

Cme of their customers - and that's why thzy are in p, bit 01 i; dither tonlght-was a young ens]- iieer of the Western Union Tele- graph Company. When he got home and attached the "eliminator" to his radio setnhe found it didn't work.

A bit of investigation showed the gadget to be a little more than a piece of wire quite incapable, the engineer said, of dealing disaster to static. He decided to dd some- thing about it.

He took a cigar box and placed in it an ordinaizy buzzer. ‘There was a telegraph key attached so he could operate the buzzer at the touch of by, finger.

Convinced that further sale of the "Eliminators" as purveyed by the curbstone merchants should be curtaPed, the engineer went on a still hunt for them. Fellow engineers each equipped with the cigar box buzzer, also found the hunt lots of fun.

Every time the salesman would attempt to show h0w efective his gadget. was, the engineer would press the key of his buzzer, set- ing up in effect a ‘broadcasting station’ of his own. The result was that the rvuitarit racket was akin to a dog-and-cat fleht inside the salcsmanb loudspeaker.
