COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS


There has just come to our hand
the most recent number of the Drama
quarterly Review, which contains an
article by the distinguished educator,
Percival Chubb on the Community
Christmas. Mr.. Chubb makes some
very practical suggestions as to how
municipal Christmas tree celebra-
ton must be handled in order to make
it complete success. Some of his
recommendations are worth emphasize
ing in order that no mischance may
mar the beauty of our own festival
which we all wish so heartily to make
the best that has ever been known III
these parts.
Mr.. Chubb says that at the municipal
ing around the tree was threatened
with failure because the people il
general did not know the words of the
songs. He suggests that the words OF
the carols be printed in the daily pa
pers in order that every one may join
heartily in the great chorus of voices,
Happily plan had already been made
for the printing of the words Of the
songs in the Star Mirror, and the 9TH
er two carols or Christmas hymns
which are to be sung accompanied by
the band, will appear in the near flu
ture. Mr.. Chubb urges all the people
to become familiar with the words and
to enter with vim and good will into
the singing.
Another suggestion which might be
initiated up to certain point is that
the church bells all play chimes at
that hour Now Moscow has no
chimes, and some of the church bells
are not actually exquisite in their
sound. but it would be a splendid way
of summoning everybody to the spot
to have all the bells burst into live
ly ringing mot a tolling) for five min
utes before the young people left the
high school. There would thus not be
a person in town who would not know
that the glad hour had arrived.
Another of his suggestions which,
if it could be carried out, would add a
pretty touch to the picture, concern
ed the costumes of one group OF boys
and girls. The girls wore cloaks and |
hoods of bright red which they made
themselves, and the boys carried sticks
and lanterns.
This idea we think could be ampli-
fed and made one of the most attrac-
tive features of the whole festival.
Any one who had the good fortune to
see the school childrens parade last
fall at the fair must remember what
a beautiful sight that great band OF
proved to be. There was
so strangely touching about
he whole marshaling of splendid youth
and tender childhood that tears sprang
o the eyes of the watchers.

A CURIOUS PREDICAMENT

fiction story entitled ''Sicily Ann and
the Pot of Gold" has character, a
married woman, who comments as fol-
lows on the money she had when she
was a girl and the money she does not
have now:
'ssWhen / was a girl never needed
to be careful of what I spent, and since
I've been a woman I've never had
enough to learn how to be careful"

US. SANITARY ENGINEER
Visits Roanoke Rapids and Pro-
nounces Sanitation Good.
Finds Few Anopheles Present

Mr.. LaPrince, a sanitary engi.
neer sent out by the United
States Government, has made a
vigorous and exhaustive inspec-
ton of the sanitary conditions
in and around Roanoke Rapids
and declares that general condi-
tions here are not only infinite
ly better than they have been in
the past, but are also superior to
conditions in other towns in this
section of the State.
Mr.. LaPrince has inspected
every part of the entire COM
munity. Very few culverts have
escaped his attention and he has
examined every stream in the
mosquito radius of the town. Mr..
LaPrince says that the only kick
he has in regard to the culverts
is that the architect did not de-
sign them quite large enough for
a man of his dimensions! He
found a few of the Anopheles
brand of mosquitoes, (the ma
laria carrying kind) but nothing
like as many as he expected. He
credits the very efficient sanitary
measures of Mr.. j. T. Chase and
DR.. T. W. M. Long as being re-
sponsible for the scarcity of ma
laria carrying mosquitoes. In
fact, Mr.. LaPrince states that
where he found five or six An
opheles he would have found
thousands had not the sanitary
work been done.
He complimented DR.. Long
highly on the efficiency and in
telligence with which the work is
being conducted and states that
if the work is kept up and the
bad places he has found, attend
ed to, malaria will soon be a
thing of the past in this COM
munity.
Mr.. LaPrince is an expert in
his line of work, having been in
charge of the work along this
line done by the United States
Government at the Panama
Canal. He was sent here at the
request of DR.. r. W. M. Long
for the purpose of inspecting the
sanitary work already done and
to give advice in regards to its
continuation and extension.
The health officers are certain
ly to be congratulated on Mr..
LaPrince's verdict and they will
unquestionably be spurred on to
make the work even more effect
i've and complete than it is at
present.

spirit of friendly rivalry thu
engendered will go far towar(
making your community as whole
valuable yourselves and at
tractive to outsiders,
The natural advantages which
you have are very great and
expect great things for Roanoke
Rapids. The establishment Of
this Board of Trade will NEAR
much in bringingyour advantage
to the attention of people
throughout this Country. Al
your organization grows Older
you will find a multitude of things
which will engage its attention
have endeavored briefly to cal
your attention to a few of what
consider the most vital principles
of such a new organization as is
this.
In conclusion, let me impress
upon you that the success Of
this body will depend upon the
individual attention-of it's mem.
bers. Do not allow the attend
ance at your meetings to become
weak, and prevent by all possible
means tagging in tie payment
of your dues. Many organiza-
tions have started with as fine
prospects as does yours, but
owing to the tendency Of man
kind to let the other fellow dc
the work they have not retained
their representative character.
Do not allow any one man or any
small group of men to become
essential to the success OF this
Board of Trade. Let each man
do an equal share of its work
and he will gain equally the re-
wards of success. Attend the
meetings regularly for it will be
but rarely that some matter is
not considered in which you will
have a personal interest, for re-
member that community interest
is really personal interest. Some
of you may think that there is
no need in your attending be-
cause so and so does all the talk
ing and so and so does all the
work. No one, no matter what
his interest. can talk to empty
benches, nor can any one do all
the work without at sometime
getting tired. Each member
of this organization has an equal
right to his views on any matter
that is considered, and for the
benefit of the other members
present he should not hesitate to
pronounce them. There is nc
person living, from whom we
cannot learn something. With
out a full expression and an ex-
change of ideas your organiza-
ton will not fill its intended
place. The one vital and necces-
sary principle is cooperation"
In conclusion Mr.. Cox mention
ed the work now being done by
the Board of Trade to induce the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad to
enter this territory. He compli-
mented the Board of Trade on
this work and urged them to
keep it up. He believed the A..
| C. L. would come but there must
be no slackening of the efforts
being made to induce them.
Mr.. Cox also mentioned the
question of incorporating the
three towns into one. He stated
| that it was, of course, a purely
local affair and he was an out
slider, but it seemed to him that
the incorporation of the entire
community into one town would
be the very best thing that
could be done for the community,
stating that he believe one of the
principal reasons for this entire
community's being so little
known over the State was on ac-
count of there being three small
towns here instead of one large
one.

GOOD BASS FISHING.
Hook and Line Sport Now Available
in the Basin.

Good bass fishing with hook and line
is now being had in the tidal basin and
at the outlet of the basin into the
Washington channel The fish cannot
be depended upon to bite steadily. They
will take the hook freely for an hour
or two. and then, with conditions the
same as when biting, will stop all at
once, and no arts of the fishermen can
persuade them to strike. A fisherman
using spoon last night caught half
dozen fine bass inside an hour. and
though he continued to fish for two
hours longer not a fish came near his
hooks.
Bass fishing also is reported good in
Occoquan and at other points along the
river. In the lower river trout, perch
and croakers are being caught in good
numbers, and fishermen who have Wis
tied the Blackiston Island neighbor-
hood recently have had fine sport.
Some few big carp are being caught in
the harbor, but fishermen say they are
not as numerous as they were earlier
in the season.

OYSTER SHORTAGE AVERTED.
Supply of Fish at the Wharf Also
on the 1ncrease

A threatened shortage in the supply
of oysters aboard vessels at the 18th
street wharf market was relieved by
the arrival yesterday and last night of
ten or more schooners and power
boats having aboard about 5000 BUSH
els of oysters, supply large enough
to last until the arrival Of other yes
sells from the lower river. Sunday sew
eral vessels arrived with oysters, but
the demand was heavy and by Monday
evening they were sold out. Tuesday
one small boat arrived and late Tues
day evening there was not an oyster
vessel at the wharf and it looked as it
there might be a shortage. This morn
ing good Potomac stock was selling at
from 40 to so cents a bushel in large
quantities.
Supplies of fish, which have been
very short for the past ten days, are
on the increase and with the coming
of increased supplies the very high
prices are beginning to drop. Fisher
men on the Jersey coast who had been
unable to work their nets in conse-
quence Of a storm are now making
good catches and the bulk of the fish
on the market here is coming from
them.
