[AT] Charity auction

[H. L. Staples]

Al and Frank  and perhaps others---I have always tried in some small way to
take part in the A.T.I.S. charity auction.

Suppose it just my way of thinking but if I didn't  take part either
donating or bidding don't think I would suggest how the funds should be
distributed. 

Now I shall make my feelings known and it is that enough money has been
earmarked for the Indian Ocean disaster.  I would like to see our money go
to the Salvation Army.

My personal feelings if that neither the Red Cross nor the United Nations do
well in disaster relief funding.
