When the commercial club decided
to decorate the square for Christmas
the townspeople at once became en-
thusastc about the plans. Now those
plans have taken definite shape. and
they sound better than ever. very
large tree will be placed on each cor
ner Of the square. Each one will be
lighted by small coiored lights and on
the top Of each is to be q shining white
star. Then, besides theee threes there
will be about fifty small ones. each
lighted and row Of lights will con-
meet these trees. The decorations will
be put up on Dec. 10. and will be left
in their place until after New Years
day. The ideas OF Christmas trees for
the town are becoming very general
now. Many towns will specially be
decorated for the holiday season. and
from the indications Newton is to be
one of the prettiest of the lot.
