SIKESTON - When you think about these little kids who would not get toys if you didn't do this, well, then it makes you feel good. Sue Guess, social service supervisor for the Missouri Division of Family Services, added despite the tons of paperwork and worry involved in developing a list of area residents in need for the Community Christmas Campaign each year, it is the bright eyes of the children unwrapping a present that make her efforts seem worthwhile. The Standard Democrat's 13th Annual Christmas Campaign will provide assistance for needy families in the area. In 1990, the division received over 400 applications over a three-day period. Guess expects more than that this year.
