Christmas Tree
Entertainment
and Car0ling

The City Council has agreed to fur
nish tree, put it up, light and deco
rate it, and turn over TO the women's
organizations Of the town for the de-
tails and further arrangements of car
rying out the municipal Christmas cell
ebration.
The several women's organizations
met last Saturday afternoon and de-
cided upon a plan. On account Of the
uncertainty of the weather at this
season, they determined not to have
any outdoor exercises and dstribu-
ton Of gifts from the tree. A "giv-
ing and not getting" spirit will be en-
cOuraged, but the tree will be placed
on the Public Square and dressed out
in all the Christmas brightness to
charm the eye and senses.
But that is not to be all. The la
dies arranged for a splendid Christ
mas entertainment at the Monarch
Theatre at 4:45 o'clock on the Satur-
daI afternoon before Christmas. An
excellent program will be presented,
consisting of orchestral and other mu-
sic, an appropriate address by some
local speaker, a reading of Vandyke's
"The First Christmas Tree" Christ
mas carols and other exercises.
Then, on Sunday night after the
Sunday School exercises at the sew
eral churches, four bands of Carol
Singers will go out through the town
and sing wherever the homes are dec
GRATED with a burning candle in the
window, to show that the people there
enter into the spirit of the Christmas
time, and receive whatever donations
they feel disposed to make. The do
nations thus made will be used for
charitable purposes, and it is hoped
that the people may open their hearts
and make them liberal.
The following committees were APP
pointed to supevintend:

Monday Club.

In Real Boosting

In regard to the present man.

boosting" That has sometimes been
said to be "our middle name" When
there is anything TO boost, there we
are entirely at home. This is the rea-
son we feel entirely "at home" in
Pennington, and we are now just get
ting our booster" well fitted, with
the hearty cooperation of some of
our most enterprising citizens. Our
work along this line is just now be-
ginning, with the almost unexampIed
resources in this community, which
has come to our attention. But we be-
lieve in building from the ground up,
and when we see anything, especially
a public utility, apparently floating,
with apparently no solid foundation,
such as at present, appears to be the
condition of the Pennington telephone
system, then it is the duty, we be-
lieve, of a real booster, to administer
few sharp knocks in order TO bring
it to earth. In order to build truly,
safely and solidly, occasionally there
is an old hulk that must "come down" !"
Then is when well directed "knocks"
are helpful.
The Times is more than pleased
with the splendid support thar has
been Forthcoming from the live, en-
terprising citizens of this community
in the fight it has been making for a
bigger and better Pennington, and so
long as our efforts in this direction
meets with such hearty approved it
would be ungrateful in us to say the
least, to "knock off, on such work.
