Some organizations donated money, still others distributed Christmas baskets to needy fam ilies, but the fraternities deve loped the plan to play host to a number of children just before each Christmas holiday. Selecting children who would probably benefit most from these parties, each house assumed its part of the plan by inviting a number of children, usually six or eight, to share a holiday dinner and festive program arranged particularly to entertain the young guests. In _many instances, presents and toys were wrapped and given to the children, since receiving gifts tends to, make Christmas complete in young minds. All indications show that a sim ilar plan will be conducted again this year. However, it is prob able that some new program may be substituted for the usual fra ternity Christmas parties.
