Y. N. c. A. To MAKE
1915 A VERY BUSY YEAR

With the advent of the New
Year interest in the work of the
Young Mems Christian Association
is manifest. Never before in the
history of the local organization
have the members taken such vital
concern in the carrying on of the
activities in the various depart
ments. Like similar organizations
the Bogalusa Young Mems Christ
ian Association is what the mem
bers make it and with the renewed
interest and spirit OF helpfulness on
the part of the Associations con-
stituancy, the work is taking d
more prominant place in the COM
munity and is destined to secure
greater results.

HAPPY ON XMAS DAY

One of the most commendable
acts during the Christmas Holidays
was the sending of Baskets con-
tanning a christmas dinner to near.
ly one hundred needy and deserv-
ing families Of the City.
The idea originated with C. J.
Wade, President of the Association
of Commerce, who was acting as
chairman of the Christmas Tree
Celebration and was carried through
successfully under his direction
On Christmas Eve Committee
met at the Y. M. C.. A. and began
the task Of filling and distributing
the baskets.
Each basket contained a tine
turkey, a mince pie, potatoes, peas
butter, oranges apples, cranberrles'
celery and ether good things to
make upa Christmas dinner.
Several of those who own auto
msoiles extended the use of their
cars for the occasion, and they were
loaded with baskets and sent to ev-
cry section of the city. 1t was late
in the night when the last basket
was delivered.
That the baskets were unexpect-
ed was evidenced at nearly each
house, and the recipients were pro.
fure in their thanks. \

so little; and | can only conject-

strength, can only imagine that
it has not yet got its pace" This
statement when applied to our To-

TREE
A BIG SUCCESS
EVERY Child IN BoGAL ,SA MADE HAP
Py...oLDER FOLKS ElJoyEO SIGHT
PLENTY FOR EVERY CHILD

The Fourth Public Christmas Tree
Celebration was held in the Aud
itorium of the Y. N. C. A Build
ing on the afternoon of December
25th, and despite the cold and
threatening weather, is was a huge
success; the largest crowd ever in
attendance was present this year
and nearly three thousand little
hearts were made happy by Santa
Claus as he distributed with gen.
erous hand the toys, candies and
fruits to each tot. The Y. NJ. C. A.
Building was crowded long before
the hour set for the distribution and
the committee in charge worked
like beavers in order that every
thing would run smoothly and there
would be no crush. The large
gymnasium was lastly decorated
and two Of the largest christmas
trees that could be found were set
up in one end and beautifully dec
grated and lighted with a great num-
Der of tiny colored electric bulbs.
Thousands Of toys, and other
presents were banked about the
trees and on the tables where they
could be easily reached.
An efficient distributing COM
mittee kept the crowd moving.
Viewed from the balcony of the
gymnasium, the scene below was
extremely touching and showed how
little it takes to make a child happy
Children from every part Of the
city and the outlying district came
to see the tree: some were healthy,
some frail; some warmly wrapped,
others scantily clad but all mingled
together in good cheer eager to
reach the coveted goal, and shake
hands with Santa Claus. Some
children came alone, and others were
holding tightly to their mothers
skirts; a few of the larger boys were
quick to grasp an opportunity, and
captured better positions in the
long line: other children, perhaps
the first time amongst the crowd
were shy and almost frightened
however as they passed out tightly
hugging their presents. their little
faces were covered with smiles and
prevailed. The entire
scene, with the beautifully decorated
trees in the background, made liv-
ing picture that will aforementioned
by those that Were present, and tits
to be hoped that the interest and
generosity displayed by over three
hundred men of Bogalusa, in giving
their might toward the fund will not
be lessened during the year, but
that this good work can be continued
and make permanent affair, one
that every one in Bosalusa can be
proud of. The celebration was en-
livened by music furnished by the
