He left Arkansas five years ago
and just recently came back,
bringing me with him. The oth
er day he recalled that eleven
years ago he was invited to an
Elks’ Christmas tfee in the
Southern part of the state. He
said he remembered the event as
one bright scene in an otherwise
dark holiday season. There
was a great deal of sickness and
a death in his father’s family
that fall and winter and they
were barely able to set a table.
My husband told me how he and
his other younger brother and a
Tittle sister attended the Elk’s
Christmas tree in their city and
each received toys and candy—
! the only gifts that Santa Claus
brought them that year. We are
not wealthy now but my hus
| band this morning told me not
[ to forget and give a dollar to
j the fund and repay in a meas
| ure the debt of gratithde that
; he still feels.”
