    Anoher activity of special sig- (niticance during the holidays—anactivity which afforded much realpleasure to the participants—wasthe gathering and distribution offind, clothing, and toys for needyfamilies of the city, by numeroustrganizations and individuals. Weshall not dwell on this subject, butwe folk of the “mirror” deemed ita privilege to have been able toserve In co-operation with others,in helping the many deservingfamilies who were in distress andneeded assistance.

    Hero also, the “mirror folk,”along with other persons of theeditorial staff of the Tribune, wishto thank the many officials, sub-scribers, and other friends of thecommunity, for the cordial expres-sions of holiday greetings sent in-to the office.
