Ten Thousand In Gifts Saved By Yale Christmas Clearing House

More than ten thousand dollars in Christmas gifts have been saved from duplication by the Christmas Clearing House in Indianapolis during the last decade. Herbert S. King, chairman of the Clearing House committee, says the ten thousand figure is based on an average of three dollars per giver, a range likely between eight and ten dollars. The Clearing House, run this year by the Family Welfare Society, 408 Baldwin Block, coordinates with social service exchanges to prevent duplicate giving and notifies two prospective givers if a family is already provided for.
