tree entertainment to be given Christmas
at 30 at the Community house,
Laurent and Jackson streets, are coming in
in amounts most gratifying to the COM
mittee in charge. Al meeting of the COM
mittee held last evening at the Community
house, it was found that the funds would
cover the giving of candy, nuts, oranges or
apples to the children, and also useful
presents of mittens, stockings and stock
ing caps for both boys and girls. 1t was
also decided to give each child one toy.

would necessarily be limited to useful
presents, but owing to the lower prices this
year, the purchasing committee was able
to buy the useful presents at less cost,
and it was voted to make each little child
happy with a toy. short, program will
be given before the distribution of the
gifts by Santa Claus.
