Milford chronicle., 1920-12-31
GLENDALE

1t was so quiet during Christmas
week in and about Glendale, that it
a seemed that the holiday season had
! not arrived. Why the quiet? There
was little to remind us that the Christ
Z mas season was at hand. Many
: thought of their personal responsible
: tiles, and the little deeds of charity as
well as sympathy in practical way
with the sick. Now that Christmas is
over, we should ask of ourselves,
Have we made any poor child hap
, py?
Have we neglected any small deed
of charity?
Have we forgotten how we as a
child were made happy by the receipt
of toy, or present of more value?
To all who read the Glendale news
as presented in our letters, we espec-
tally extend greetings for Happy and
Prosperous New Year, and hope they
will make new resolutions to be bet
ter and wiser citizens, and help us to
write longer and more interesting let
ters for the Milford Chronicle each
week.
The churches with their programs
appropriate for Christmas, and the
elaborate Christmas trees for the chill
dren, which were loaded with beauti-
ful and useful presents for each child, !
either large or small, formed the CEN
/ tire of attraction for last Friday even
ing. The older folks enjoyed the hap /
piness of the younger generation with /
happy spirits. What is more charming
than the expressions of childs face
at the heighth of its gleeful pleasure
at Christmas celebration.
Our leading citizen. Harry W. Jes-
ter, who was stricken before Christ
mas. and has been seriously i'll ever
since, is slowly gaining. We learn
that he is able to sit up in his room.
and able to take nOurishment. He is
able to talk some, but sees no visitors.
Only the family, the nurse and physi- :
clan are admitted to his sick room. :
His illness is more serious than it
was at first stated to the public.

his physician and is threatened with
blood poisoning. .

at the Boulevard and Ellendale road

stitches to close up a cut down his :
face. While the other car was also :
badly smashed, the driver escaped :
without serious injury. He refused to :
give his name to the people here. :
