The Mysterious Mr Smith and the Smith Family
A lengthy look at The Smith Family Joyspreaders, a Sydney charity. It traces origins from Christmas Eve 1072 when men in a car visited a boys home, the anonymous identity of Mr. D G B Smith, and the growth of a non sectarian, non political group aiding children with food, money, and toys. It notes a hospital for rheumatic fever convalescents at North Parramatta and plans for expansion, while emphasizing anonymity and broad community support.
