 kid have good time and furthermore there ain't one of you that can't get along without skimping if you were to sepcrate yourself from one big iron man or the half of one. Now don't pre- tend that you can't understand what Pm driving at, you can all read and write and you all know perfectly well there is going to be a Community Tree in this little old burg on Christmas Eve and furthermore you know that to make it grand success it is neces- sary to have the amount of $300.OO. Now listen. Don't get it into your head that some millionaire in Seward is going to donate this entire amount. He ain't cause there's no such ani- nal Twin here and besides if there was we wouldn't let him kick in with the whole amount cause this is Com munity affair not an individual affair. Now let this seep into your mind and
 1iter it seeps in put your hand down
 n your pocket and grab piece of :hange and slip it into one of the Com mlnity Tree donation boxes. Don't !nattcl if it's only d dime or two bits, let it jingle.
 You simply gotta help make this Community tree the biggest success of 4he year and you can't help by sitting back and waiting for George to do it.
 There a;n't one of you old timers, or you young timers who can honestly .'ay y"i ,!oa't like children. If there is, something .s radically wrong with you. f you eau sincerely say that you dent give damn whether the kids have Community Tree or not you
 .rc .,L: olut'Iy worthless. You should i''.e nt r.mc in jumping, off the dock Mith a rope around your neck, a rope hat las :. two hundred pound we ght on the o.hei end.
 Now.n Iien We don't ever want to think that we have in our community q gink who has no use for children and even if We have to think that thcre are some we never want to know who they are cause we would feel duty bound to see that they were removed. We have the finest bunch of Riddles n Seward that can be found in any town in Alaska and we're going to give. lem a Community Tree that will make them all happy. This is Saturday 1 night and tomorrow is Sunday. There are four big donation boxes waiting for you to drop your mite into them. :, One is at the Key, one at the Northern one at Sylvia's and one at the Seward Drug Store. No chance for you to say that you couldn't find one. No chance for you to say the place was closed. No chance for you to sidestep unless you are real down right ornery cuss. S250.00 more are needed. Tonight and tomorrow you can contribute to this amount through the medium of the Donation boxes. You'll pass one of lem when you go in to play that game of pool or cards, when you drop in to quench your thirst or buy a cigar or a Christmas present. A nickel, a dime, a quarter. Any amount up to one dol lar. More if you feel like giving it. Tisn't necessary to give more than a dollar if every one of you will do youri part. What do you say? Let's make the boxes jingle tonight and tomor- row. It can be did if you'll help. Don't be piker. Don't be a grouch. Start ing Monday the different committees will start personal convass.
