Plans are being perfected for the
community Christmas tree and it has
been with a spirit of good cheer and
cooperation that people have entereu
into the work of securing the ncces-
sary parts to make it successful. AS
lit is to be real community tree,
everything for the tree will be donat-
ed and what is lacking Ill funds will
surely be made up by the public spir-
tied people of the city at first the
finding Of a tree large enough to place
in the court house square seemed to
be the great problem. But at just the
right moment the sheriff offered to get
theGtree and place it In the right spot
ready for the celebrations
Then the superintendent OF music in
the public schools offered to lead the
children In afprogram OF music to cele-
brate the first lighting of the tree. This
will be a great occasion when Friday
evening, after school the children from
the schools will come to the tree and
sing praises for the Savior of the world
and also for the country in which we
enjoy freedom. It is hoped also to
have the Stealey boys band some time
during the early evening.
Saturday evening when everyone is
busy doing the last bit Of the Christ
mas shopping, and when it may seem
10 many that the holiday Is only for
the buying of gifts for others, It is
hoped TO have Gregorys band TO fill
the air with the strains OF the old
Christmas carols. Saturday evening
will the time when every one may
have IN opportunity to share in the
giving Of gifts for those who are not
on their own lists-that is to bring
gifts of clothing, of staples, OF candy,
and Of toys and in fact everything that
might be used by another. and at the
tree Will#be a committee to receive the
gifts and it will then find Just the
right person to whom the lifts may be
given. It's hoped that this night Will
be great night for giving. and viii
therefore be the happicst one.
Sunday evening will be the night for
Isinging. The Choral Club Will lead
In the singing of some of the Christ
mas carols, and every one present
will join in the music. This service
