BOROUGH CHRISTMAS TREE
May Be Taken Up By Civic Federation

Suggested by H. F. GIendining.
 What Norwich Has done in the way of making arrangements for a public Christmas tree is something that ap- peals to many persons here as a good thing for Danielson to do As was suggested by Harold F. Glendinir- last week, a monster tree on Davis park and the singing of Christmas carols on the eve of the great holiday would be features that would accentu- ate much of the sentiment connected with the annual observance of the Christian worlds holiday and prove of far-rea ching interest and joy for many persons. young and old This is a matter that the Civic federation has been somewhat interested in and there is possibility that during the present week some movement toward the ends suggested may be taken. It is not too late for making it a real success.

Tells of Beauties of Charm

F. II. LaBaume, industrial and aeri-
cultural agent OF the Norfolk and
Western Railway. has been tramping
around Virginia somewhat OF late
looking for a "spotless town" 1t
would seem that he found il down on
James River. Mr.. LaBaume writes:
we have number OF very pro-
gressive. up-to date villages, towns and
cities in Virginia, and they are really
the exception that proves the rule
recall on this recent trip one little town
or village that stands out promi-
nently for its attractive surroundings
and it's general air OF cleanliness and
bright painted, wholesome attractive
ness. This old Virginia spotless town
isNknown as Claremont, and is located
in the northern end OF Sussex County.
on the James River.
The stores surround an attractive
square. They are fronted by new, clean
cement sidewalks. and are faced with
stone or concrete. The show windows
are generally large and Of plate glass.
and the stranger or visitor can look
them over, and not be greeted with a
film of dirt, husband fly specks there
on.
practically all of the buildings in
this town have a well-kept, neat ap-
pearance, and all OF them seem to have
been newly painted in the last year.
| think the people Of Claremont must
take great deal OF satisfaction in
the sanitary, healthy. immaculate en-
vironment which they have created and
which speaks so eloquently of their
energy. thriftness and pride in their
homes and surroundings. Claremont
can set an example to hundreds Of
other villages and towns In yirsinia

look over the James River. its indus

er towns and cities to make their home

advantage that can be found elsewhere.
