operation of the war camp community

ment, and allow the Augusta folk time
own Christmas. To insure the prompt

trucks from the Machine Gun School

Mrs. Perkins in Charge.
The announcement by Social Direc-
tor c. F. Martin that Mrs. c. d. Per-
kins, camp entertainment chairman for
the War Camp Community Service, is
in full charge of these Christmas par
ties will assure every soldier of their
success. For 16 months Mrs. Perkins
has been bringing entertainment par
ties to camp-to the "Y" huts, for the
company dances. and for outdoor AT
fairs; she knows what the boys like,
and is able to persuade the most at
tractive entertainers in Augusta to do
their very best in arranging programs.
Under her direction chairman is re-
sponsible for the program in each hut,
according to the program printed be-
low; and the credit for the detailed ar
rangement of each entertainment be-
longs to these chairmen.
Special Decorations and Gifts.
During the past week parties of Ia
dies have directed the decoration OF
each building with holly, bamboo, and
pine green's, and with artificial decor
ations; and the inevitable Christmas
tree is conspicuous. On Christmas
Eve the general color scheme will be
enriched by the red and yellow of York
Imperial apples forty barrels of which
have been provided by the Y. M. c. A,
for distribution. But the most impor-
tant element in the Christmas spirit
will be the presence of the girls and
children on the stage and the audience,
the Riddles" will sing the songs and
speak the pieces they have learned for
Christmas; the older folk will sing,
play and read; there will be some
dancing by the children, and everyone
will join in singing the old carols.
