First Gift to Feves

The honor of sending the first gift to Feves, France, goes to Homer Christenson who donated all proceeds from his popcorn stand at the pageant to the project. This gift means a good deal more than it sounds as Mr. Christenson must work from a wheel chair or canes due to his crippled condition in later years. The money was spent for candy for the children of Feves who were told who donated the candy. The joy of giving to the children was ampIe recompense to Mr. Christenson. This was sent immediately after the pageant. Since then, a shipment of wearing apparel was sent and more is being collected at the City Hall.
