Alto, Mrs. Howard Cole of
Jasper, Mrs. Coy L. Smith
and Mrs. A. B. Allen of
Jacksonville.
Mrs. Rose explained the
need for a special donation
for repairs to the French
Legation in Austin, which
belongs to the State of
Texas but which is under
the jurisdiction and care of
The Daughters of The
Republic of Texas. A
special donation was made
for this purpose.
The speaker, Mrs. Lester
Rozelle of Longview, was
introduced by Mrs. Ken-
nedy. Mrs. Rozelle's sub-
ject was "Christmas." She
stated that she had a very
special affinity with
Christmas since that was
also her birthday. She told
two delightful Christmas
stories. The first concerned
a forgetful old lady who
had absentmindedly sent
her granddaughter's gift to
an old lady who had once
been her cook, and the
cook's gift to her gran-
ddaughter. As it so hap-
pened, each had gotten
exactly what they wanted
most of all. The second
story was about some "lit-
tle people" who gave "fuz-
zie-wuzzies" to everyone
they met, but due to a
remark by an ugly old
green troll they stopped
this practice until they
were bowed down with
"fuzzie-wuzzies" since

CARE Offers Plan
For Unique Gifts
"Looking for a unique
gift this holiday season?"
Dr. Philip Johnston,
executive director of
CARE, the international
aid and development
organization, asked recen-
tly. "Consider the CARE
Holiday Gift Plan. The
Plan provides people in this
country an unusual way to
do something good for
themselves, their friends,
and for people overseas.
For just $5, CARE aid will
be sent in the name of the
person you designate to
help needy people in
developing countries.''
"Here's how the Plan
works," Dr. Johnston con-
tinued. "Just send your
holiday list to CARE or
phone it to the number that
appears below. Special
acknowledgment cards will
then be mailed to the
people you've designated.
The message on the card
will let the recipient know
that you have given a con-
tribution to CARE in his or
her name. In this way, the
card acts both as a greeting
and as the receipt for a
gift."
CARE provides millions
of Americans an important
channel to express their
compassion and concern
for people less fortunate
around the world.
To participate in the
Plan, credit card holders
may call 1-800-228-2060,
seven days a week, twenty-
four hours a day, through
Dec. 25. Those who prefer
to, may write; CARE Gift
