Mrs. Duffield Wins
Beta Christmas Doll
The beautiful Christmas doll
and her luxurious wardrobe of
hand-made clothes was presented
to Enid Duffield at the Roof Gar
den last Saturday by the Beta
Sigma Phi sorority.
The donations received from
the doll all go' to the Hot Lunch
program for school children
which is the civic project of the
sorority and which starts in Jan
uary and continues through the
coldest part of the winter for the
children who live farthest away
from the school.
A candy and cookie sale was
held at the Northern Commercial
Co. Store Saturday to also raise
funds for the lunch program.
Both were most successful and
sincere appreciation is extended
by the sorority to all the indivi
duals who helped towards that
success: to the ladies who brought
in sweets for the sale; to the per
sons who bought them; to the
N.C, Co. for finding space for
the sale in spite of the holiday
crush. Thanks also goes to Nome
Motors for displaying the doll and
wardrobe last week; to A. Polet
and his staff for the authentic
fur garments for the doll; and to
the pioneers for assisting in the
drawing at the Roof Garden Sat
urday night.
Chairman Ellen Waldheim re
ports that a gross of $99.04 was
realized from the candy - cookie
sale; and doll chairman Carol
Jones reports $213.50 from the
sale of tickets on the doll.
