Volunteers will sort and wrap the gifts, sometimes combining two or three small ones to make one attractive gift package, then list the contents on a label. Local merehants, service clubs and church groups are asked to contribute, and individuals are asked to buy a gift for a mental patient while doing their own Christmas shopping. A Christmas with a personal touch, for hundreds of mental hospital patients who have no one to visit or write them, is being planned by members of the Waterloo County Branch of the Canadian Mental Health As. troeiation, through the Christmas Gift Program launched last week. With Mrs. Barbara Brubaeher as chairman, volmieers intend to see that every patient at the Lon.. don, Ont., hospital will receive a personal gift at Christmas. Be- fore the program began there were thousands of chronically ill patients who received not a sim gle card or present from outside the hospital.

For landing it is down to give maximum visi- bility; for supersonic Night it goes up to produce the stream- line shape necessary for maxi- mum speed. One of the most important tea- tures of the Concorde's instru- ment panel is a complex new navigation system which will re- duce the flight crew's work load. And atthough its tremendous speed will cause parts of the Concorde’s outer skin to heat to 250 degrees fahrenheit, passen- gers will feel no discomfort in the fully air-conditioned cabin. They will offer the same ex- cellent service but the sharp angle of climb that takes the Concorde to its cruising height of nearly 12 miles will mean a slight delay in serving meals.
