Moiling Address: P.O. Box 2383, Terminol Annex Los Angeles 54, Colifornio families for Christmas food and clothing. A committee headed by President Sallye Bissell, with F aye Balmer, Phyllis Hawkins and Corrine Adams as assistants, delivered two carloads to one family, including many boxes of groceries, dresses, undergarments, shoes and other necessities. It was delivered to a widow with flve children all in need of everything.

So the club of Los Angeles lumberwomen start 1961 with a feeling of happiness as their reward and reaffirmed knowledge that it is better to give than to receive.

The funds for the club's many charities are annually raised through its holiday "sales" of prizes, and it is understood that one Hoo-Hoo-Ette alone this year sold 200 of the tickets distributed by Anne Murray. The Hoo-Hoo-Ettes are anxious to thank every member of the Southern California industry who so generously helped them this year through purchases of tickets.

The winners of the 1960 holiday prizes were F'red Losch, E. J. Stanton & Son; Wave Meyers, Owens Parks Lumber Co., and John Lipani, Weyerhaeuser Company.

The club's own Christmas party was pronounced "just wonderful." Jerry Howe of U. S. Plywood Corp. deserved some special los Angeles Office: 6416 Eost Flolillq Street Los Angeles 22, Colifornio collect $38 on their "money tree" to send to the above-mentioned Ramona Home for Girls.

Another happy Hoo-Hoo-Ette pre-Christmas gathering was the one at the home of Corrine Adams for the gift-wrapping of the purchases made for the youths of the LeRoy Boys' Home by Club 1's Anne Murray and Club 2's Larry Weiland, the A-Arrow dealer. The packages of clothing and toys were presented to the boys at the annual Hoo-Hoo Club 2 party at the Nikabob, reported elsewhere in the Christmas activities.

On the committee which met at Corrine Adams' home were Chairman Violet Neal, Stahl Lumber Co.; President Sallye Bissell, Weyerhaeuser Company; Ruth Armand, Betty Morrill, Mildred Abbott and Marjorie Taylor, all of E. J. Stanton & Son; Lena Galyean, Downey Dry Kiln, and Lyn Rose and Corrine Adams of H. M. Nelson Lumber Co.

The girls had a fine dinner, affable conversation, and dug into tJle work at hand-to make sure each LeRoy Boy had his proper

At the tableful of shirts and trousers (all sizes and colors): Lyn Rose Corrine Adams, Sallye Bissell, Mildred Abbott, Lena Galyean, Violet Neal, Marge Taylor, Betty Morrill and Ruth Armand gift in the proper size. They packed the 69 gifts for the boys in gaily Christmas-decorated sacks. It was a pleasure for the boys to receive them (as the photos elsewhere attest), but even more pleasure for the lumberwomen to plan and prepare them, say the Hoo-Hoo-Ettes.

Strqble Lumber Compony Enters Tree in Festivol of Christmqs Trees Sponsored by Chlldren's Hospitol of Eost Boy, Ooklond

Cutting a wide swath at the tenth annual F'estival of Christmas Trees sponsored by Children's Hospital of the Elast Bay of Oakland, California, was an all-wood-and-wood-products entry from Strable Lumber Company of 255 Second Street, Oakland.

The F estival, which ran from December 9 through 15, transformed t}re rnezzanine of Berkeley's Hotel Claremont into a breathtaking forest of spectacular original trees. Over 200 Christmas trees-none topping four-feet-were admired by thousands of F estival visitors. The trees were the result of imagination and artistic craftmanship on the part of members of the branches of the women's auxiliary and other friends of the hospital.

To get to the pith of the matter, Mrs. Donald McDonald, whose husband is a member of Strable Lumber Company, began with a lnland-redwood cones. oriental parasols and paper-ribbon bows resulted in this handsome "tree," entered by Strable Lumber Company of oakland in the tenth annual Festlval of Christmas Trees. Sponsored by Children's Hospital of the East Bay ot oakland, the Festival benefits the hospital's part-pay program which assists thousands of needy children. A total of 207 original miniature trees were displayed and sold during the Festival's run, December 9 through 15. conical chicken-wire frame set on a round redwood base. To the wire frame, Mrs. McDonald attached inland-redwood cones which she had sprayed with gold paint. Colorful paper parasols, decorated in Oriental motif, were then added to the pine-cone "tree." Shiny gold paper-ribbon bows finished off the lumber company's striking entry.

Proceeds from the sale of Strable Lumber Company's tree and all the other trees and Christmas decorations in the X'estival, plus admissions, benefits the part-pay prog'ram at Children's Hospital of the East Bay.

The hospital's charitable program is designed to assist families which are unable to meet the full cost of their children's medical care. Thus, by making up the difference between the set portion the family must pay and the actual medical costs to the hospital, the part-pay program makes treatment possible for ttrousands of needy children. Approximately 3,500 branch members donate their time and efrort in earning funds for this program. The

F estival of Christmas Trees is one of the major projects undertaken in this respect.
