That there are those who are ! l willing to help at such a time Is taken I for granted. No worthy appeal ever i r goes unanswered by Cape May folk. ' Wlttness the ready response to tne Belgian Relief fund, the war Bay kits Just t j sent off and so forth. The question is ' how to get together the homes that aie c short on Christmas and the hearts that < are longing to help.
