To the 8,000,000 Neediest

The tears of innocent children (and not a few adults) deprived of daily comics...the grim plight of subway riders forced to stare at each other on the long ride to work...the piercing cry of the hapless fishmonger with no newspaper in which to wrap his wares...such sufferings cannot go unrelieved at this Christmas season.

And so the CRIMSON brings New York a special edition, a Christmas basket as it were, presented in the philanthropic spirit of the Holidays. Tight-lipped and silent, we stood by for five days while the City went without her newspapers. But the moving pleas of many friends (and not a few enemies) have once again--as in 1958--melted the hoary Cambridge frosts. Yes, New York, there is a Santa Claus.
