 After looking the field over. Robert Banks was selected and endorsed as worthy boy and one who was striving to acquire a good education. Robert is student of the Phoenix Union High School. and has for some time had his fancy set on a mechanical line of study after completing his high school course and now it has befallen his lot as a winner to. acquire just what he so much coveted, the mechan- ical course in the Scranton Interna- l tional school.

Robert is well pleased and proud of his winning and through your corres- pondent, wishes to thank all those who assisted him by their liberal subscrip- 1 tions by which means he has acquired this valuable scholarship.
 Christmas day was passed by the usual feast of the native bird and greetings of the Christmas tide Among the remarks we notice that of the de- l lightful weather and how different from the Christmas season in the north and east where snow, ice and perhaps blizzards attend the ushering in of the holiday season. while in the Salt Riv- CT Valley we bask in the beautiful sunshine and drive along the snowless roads without an over wrap.
