The Christmas Tree

Not "bigger' necessarily, but better than ever let our Christ mas observance be this year. Let the message embodied in the bencdiction Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men," inspire us all to make this Christmas memorable in the history of New Britain. Let our gratitude, our devotion be evidenced in many ways How? By giving? Yes, freely, gladly. Has not the war taught us this lesson? By srnil- ing? Yes, and more. To win an answering smile from lips that tend to sigh; and last but not least, to sing! Lest grief over whelTn and stricken soul. Singing has proved a powerful antidote against misery and despair. Therefore it's growing popularity is not to be wondered at, Thou sands of New Britain men. wo- men and children have been made happy by joining choruses in factories. in schools, in churches, in neighborhoods. By cry nationality has been repre- sented And this is as it should be.
 We are now asking for the hearty cooperation of the sing CTS and musicians alluded to so that the community singing, headed by it's leaders and foster CTS. planned for Christmas prove one never to be forgotten.
 If possible arrangements will be made, in case of strenuous weather to carry out the instru- mental part of the program in the open on Central park, and the second part, community sing iag in the Grammar school audi tOrium.

 minute service, while other sections, evidently considered of less inn
 portance by the company. have 20 minute schedule.
 Again the public has co-operated in the matter of fares by paying an in creased rate with very little murmur- ing. Apparently President Storrs through his advertisem is paving
 the way for a, larger public co-opera-
 ton through a further increase of
 fares. Before this is done, h0vevcr,
