Roon 235 Albany Hospital Albany, IJow Yorl Deconber 4, 1940

My dear able-bodied Milnites,

With Milne's faculty going in so whole heart-edly for bandages, casts, and crutches, I deen it wise to offer sone form of advice to the younger generation^ On second thought, advice doesn't rea.Lly do nuch good. It certainly v;ouldn' t have kept that v/onan driver on her Gv:-n side of the road, noc v/ould it have kept thri,i;- :orso fron biting Mr, Allard,

Instead, I would like to thank ^ou all for your nany oppressions of good wishes t

Receiving nail in a hospital is about as cxciting as getting on the honor rol.l at Milne, only nuch easier^ I niss the cxcitcnen'o attendant at the C'nristnas plays, I v/i?. 1 probably live to a ri:o old ago as a result of having ni&sod it. xoo, 'Oni lily-vihito hands with, tnoj r long red fin-go: r,I;-', are things I cc.-.':.fL .nev oi- have if I had li\-od "chrough that nad ruK.Ji, preceding Milne's bi, dranatic succosses for 1940.

My best wishes to all o f y C'U, i .i 10 ,1 u. t- isn't tho sane v/ithout you.

CIIRISTMiVS TIME—GIVING TIME

Your School and A National Orfanization Ask Your Help

How true is the old addaf^'c, " I t i s nore blessed to ^:ivo than to r e c c i v c l "

At this t ine of the year , the t ine preceding the world 's nost fanous h o l i -day, our thoughts turn to g i v i n g , not on-l y to f r i ends , but to the l o s s unfortun-a te , a l s o .

Two worthy causes ask your heart -f e l t support at this t i n e . Thi: - f i r s t i s the annual holiday t rad i t i on in Milne of supplying the needy with Christnas baskets of food . Your honeroon hr.s s e l -ected a f a n i l y to provide with a Christ -nas dinner. You w i l l be asked to con-tr ibute food and sone noncy f o r per is l : -ab l os . V/ithout your cooperation the bas-kets w i l l not be conplete , and the hun-ger of a poor f an i l y w i l l not be r e -l i eved as nuch as i t could be .

Each year at this t ine , the Nation-a l Tuberculosis Assoc iat ion , throu^'h i t s l o c a l branches throughout the nr.tion, sponsors the sale of Christnas Seals, to aid in the ba t t l e a.Toinst Tuberculosis , You olready know what f i n e v/ork the A l -bany county branch is doing with Tuber-c u l o s i s , and you can see how greatly the assoc ia t i on needs your noney.

Surely you w i l l do your part to aid in these two inportant causes. Not only v / i l l you be helping others to enjoy Christnvas, but your Christnas, too , v/ i l l bo happier, f o r you, y o u r s e l f , w i l l have helped others to enjoy this world-vdde hol iday,

A LiVST WARNING

Again Milne students are overlook-ing the few rules set up f o r then. V i -o lators have been warned, but extrone penalt ies have not yet been enforced, Milne has not nany regulat ions , but these few have been broken nany t ines in the l a s t nonths.

They are :

1. No snoking in the buildings or on the canpus.

2 . No one is to enter the collccjo bu i ld ings , except on business .

3. No one i s to oat outside the Cafeteria or the Annex.

No one is to leave the canpus dur: s chool hcur s .

Renonber that a school i s judged by the act ions of i t s students.

SALLIA' S SIJGGESTIOITS

In order to get your Christmas shopping on the v/ay, I have listed below nany suggestions for ny readers tlia.t seened outstanding to me as I brouscd through the Albany stores today.

Give Mother something persona-1, not something for the home—she'll a.ppreci-ate it more. How about a bright red double-breasted housecoat that is bound to give Mori that Collegiate toucli. Or perhaps she'd enjoy accessories for her new vjinter coat,

• a f

ITov; Dad is a little easier to please. Manhattan shirts are a.l\;a7/G appreciated. Without a doubt, Da.d v/ould love a Balbirggan Leisure Suit for loung-ing, v/ith fitted cuffs on the v/rists and ankles. They're especially cosy for those cold nights when you're out on a special date, and Dad decides to sit up and wait for you.

Be sure to put pigskin gloves or a pair of argyle socks on your list for brother. These socks cone in beautiful combinations of brov/ns, tans, maroons, greens and reds.

I have just the thing for sister— a colorful embroidered sv/eater to top her ski-suit, skating togs, or even her skirt. Royal blue, tomato red and blacl: arc the most prominent colors, A nono-gramed blouse or robe would strilcc her f?mcy also. Ail the girls love perfume, and t}ie very newih t thing in the line of perfumes is BonJ. Street,

"i'hfre are all my suggestions for the fai.i.Ly, I'here's one thing about then— if rhcj; uonH jjut a .lunip in your pocket-book, nothing vdll.
