MOOSE LODGE PLAKS
"OPERATION SANTA CLAUS”
Officers and members of the
.Palmer lodge have adopted a res
olution to support the Moose
"'Operation Santa Claus” earn
;paign by sponsoring a toy collec
tion and distribution drive for
needy children, according to Jim
"Wilson, chairman of the lodge’s
civic affairs committee.
The Moose fraternity is spon
soring this program internation
ally in an effort to assure a “Toy
fui” Chrismas for every needy
boy and girl in the United States,
^Canada and Alaska.
The Moose locally, said Chair
man Wilson, have started an or
ganized plan whereby the people
•of the community may contribute
<either new or undamaged used
toys which will be distributed to
the children on Christmas Eve.
A number of collection depots
have been set up throughout the
•city and colorful posters and ban
kers clearly mark these depots,
he said. They are located at the
<A»-Op Trading Post, Kirk’s Sales
and Service, and Grasser’s Hard
ware in Palmer and Teeland’s
Shopping Center in Wasilla. The
Moose lodge is to supply all the
manpower needed for the collec
tion and distribution of the toys.
Needy children, in homes, or
phanages and hospitals, whose
names will be obtained by the
Moose lodge from recognized
social welfare agencies, will be
the recipients of these toys. All
of the toys will be distributed in
the local area, said Wilson, and
none will be sent to outside in
stitutions or homes. “We want
this to be very much a local pro
ject, for our own needy kids,” he
said.
The Moose are being supported
in this gigantic civic affairs pro
gram by Dave Garrow'ay, popu
lar emcee of the entertaining
television show “Today”, w'ho is
credited by the Moose with re
sponsibility for much of the suc
cess of the Order’s nation-wide
“Operation Santa Claus” in 1954
and 1955.
