and individuals. Weshall not dwell on this subject, butwe folk of
the “mirror” deemed ita privilege to have been able toserve In
co-operation with others,in helping the many deservingfamilies who
were in distress andneeded assistance.
Hero also, the “mirror folk,”along with other persons of
theeditorial staff of the Tribune, wishto thank the many officials,
sub-scribers, and other friends of thecommunity, for the cordial
expres-sions of holiday greetings sent in-to the office. We
