Gift programs planned for needy
Several Lawrence business and charitable groups are making plans to bring a little more happiness to some people during the Christmas season.
Penn House, a local non-profit service organization, is coordinating an "adoption-family" program. Through the Penn House, each of 57 families or 20 elderly persons. Penn House has lists of items the individuals have indicated they need, the ages of family members and the names of beneficiaries.
"It works like a regular adoption agency. They indicate their preference and we made the match," Linda Low, program coordinator, said.
All donors and recipients will remain anonymous unless both parties choose to
This is the fifth year Penn House has run the program and according to Lown, this year they have the largest number of families "up for adoption." She said the financial pressures of higher utility bills in the past year accounted for this increase.
Persons interested in adopting a family may call House at 842 0440.
DONATION BARRELS for the "Toys for
Tots" program, sponsored by the local Red
Cross, were distributed Friday throughout Lawrence shopping districts.
According to Jo Byers, coordinator for the Red Corse program, the Red Cross hopes to be able to distribute toys to at least 350 children this Christmas.
Persons are encouraged to donate new toys in the barrels, because "children don't learn how to throw their own."
Byers said the toys will be available Dec. 18 in the Community Building, W15. W. 11th St., for parents to select from for their children. She said Red Cross volunteers would be available to gift wrap the package of papering paper and ribbon donated by Hallmark.
The Salvation Army also will supply toys for children this Christmas. They will take toy donations, but most of the toys to be distributed will be purchased with money from the Salvation Army's street kettles and mail appeals.
Mrs. Major Dale Coleman, a Salvation Army officer and coordinator for their Christmas programs, said she purchases the toys wholesale. They then are made available for parents to select from at 10th and New Hamshire streets.
IN ADDITION TO providing toys for youngsters, the Salvation Army is financing the purchase of Christmas dinners for about $100 per child. The food orders that are good at any grocery店, Coleman said. She said the Salvation Army had no control over what families bought, except that it was printed on the clothes of cigarettes and beer could not be purchased.
Gift baskets also will be provided to 406 persons in Lawrence nursing home, Colorado.
Persons interested in receiving food orders or donation gifts may contact the Salvation Army at 843-4188. Coleman said the Salvation Army never used lists from the previous year, and people who received orders last year must reapply.
Sanctuary Catering Services is sponsoring a free Christmas dinner for individuals determined to be needy by Penn House. The dinner will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Dec. 14 at the Tee Fee, near the intersection of Seventh Street and U.S. 24-400.
"They (Penn House) deal with people in and in day out who are needy and they have
connection with other agencies who work with the poor, "Ace Johnson, owner of Sanctuary Catering Services and a Penn House board member, said.
Johnson said this was the second year he has sponsored the dinner. Last year, invitations to the dinner were limited to the elderly, he said, but this year entire families also will be invited. He anticipates an attendance of about 300 to 400 people.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (UPI)—A government witness testified yesterday that he piloted a helicopter over the hills of Real County while hunters illegally shot as many as 100 golden eagles with shotguns on three trips between 1975 and 1977.
one three men, if convicted, could receive maximum punishment of one year in jail and be sentenced.
Gerald Heintzelman, who was granted immunity, appeared as the first witness against Real County Commissioner Lanny Leinweber; 41; ranch foreman Norman Pape, 45; and Andrew Allen, 30, a former trapper and hunter from Uvalde.
Leinweber is accused of conspiracy while Pape and Allen face charges of shooting the protected eagles and illegally hunting from the air.
Hiezelman said Allen and Pape killed several eagles on the flights, partly financed by the Real County Commissioners Court, because the weber did not shoot the birds in his presence.
Hiezeltean said he was given federal immunity and also received $1,200 for ex-convicts.
Prosecutor Ray Hahn, in his opening statement, told the federal jury, "We don't have to prove the value of the victims already has been decided by Congress."
The case—the first of its type in Texas—has become a focal point in the almost continual controversy between ranchers and farmers. The cattle industry sheep and goats and the Audubon Society
Committee chairman acts, fills vacant Senate position
Acting on behalf of the Student Senate Elections Committee, the committee chairman announced last night that Rick Hofer, Prairie Village junior, would fill a vacant Senate seat in the School of Social Welfare.
"I just had a feeling that no one would show up," he said.
The scheduled elections committee meeting was canceled last night when two of 15 members showed up. The chairman, Russ Engel, said he had sent letters notifying committee members of the meeting.
Although only two members were present, Engel said he decided to submit Hoefer's name for Senate confirmation because he was the only applicant for the seat.
Engel said he thought students were busy with class projects, final examinations or the KU-Murray State basketball game last night.
Hoefer will take the seat vacated earlier
this semester by the resignation of Jerre Bowen. He will assume the position pending confirmation by Steve Leben, student body president, and the Senate.
ENGEL ALSO considered appointing an acting chairman for the elections committee but decided against it because the chairmanship will be vacant for only a few
Engel announced his resignation three weeks ago but will keep the chairmanship until a replacement is found. He resigned because of his intentions to run for a senior class office. He said a permanent chairman could be appointed as early as tomorrow.
The permanent chairman will be named by Leben. The elections committee chairman oversees committee action concerning Senate elections of student body president, vice president and student senators.
John Mitchellson, Pittsburgh sophomore,
was the other committee member present.
