Under the present system, the North Vancouver Christmas Bureau cannot hope to provide the relief needed to give the children a happy Christmas. | want to express our thanks to the North Shore News for com- ing up with this idea, and be- ing able to organize it on such short notice. It should be an inspiration to the whole com-

munity.” 0 q "

Chairperson, West Van Santa Claus Fund

“The strain will be greater than ever on our resources this year. We hope to have enough volunteers to pick up donations, but we need the donations first. 1 want to thank the North Shore News, for all of West Vancouver. It is such a simple idea, and it couldn't have come at a bet- ter time. Its a truly public spirited gesture on their part.
