::Satellite bcrkoo! board . ,j Boys Ranch suit . Baptist Student U
discusses locations drive starts today to sponsor retreat
The goal to provide each of the 368 boys at Cal Farley's Boys
Ranch with a new suit of clothing package for Christmas began
today.
The annual Christmas Suit Fund has become a favorite way of
giving for friends of the boys who contribute $25.00 for this
purpose.
"Although costs for new suits will exceed $25.00, some of the
Ranch's boys receive clothing packages for less than that
amount." Virgil Patterson, Ranch president, said, "Amarillo
merchants also help by making it possible for the boys to have
suits at discounts. Suits and clothing packages will average
about $25.00 per boy."
The suits replace those that have been worn out or outgrown,
and in many cases, they are the first new suits some of the boys
have ever owned. The boys get to select their own suits from
Amarillo department stores.
"A new suit is the best Christmas present a boy can receive
because it is a year-round reminder of those who care," Mr.
Patterson said.
Contributions to the Boys Ranch Christmas Suit Fund may be
mailed to the Boys Ranch Office, P. O. Box 1890, Amarillo,
Texas, 79105, or taken to the administrative office at 600 West
llth Street in Amarillo.
