HENRI THIELE
TO HAVE TREE
CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION PLANNED
1t is Proposed That KiddieS of the City
Be Given Time They Will
Never Forget

John Baker stopped at the Glacier
office the other day and proposed that
the good fellows of the city should get
together land arrange plans for carry
ing as much real Christmas spirit as
possible to the children of the town.
He especially urged that no poor fam
lily, with kiddies, be overlooked.
Just the week before, Henri Thiele
had proposed that he would erect at
the Columbia Gorge hotel huge
Christmas tree and would welcome the
folk of town and valley to the hosterly
the afternoon and evening of Friday,
December %. 1t was suggested to Mr..
Baker that all of the children, and es-
pecially the poorer ones, be escorted to
the big new hotel on the afternoon Of
MIR. Thiele's Christmas tree. Mr..
Baker passed the suggested plans on
to Truman Butler and the matter was
broached to Mr.. Thiele Tuesday when
the Lunch club was at the hotel for
the noon meal.
Just bring all of them along" said
Mr.. Thiele. Your plans will be my
plans.
And now a number Of local folk are
tentatively arranging to make Friday
afternoon an occasion that children of
the town will not soon forget. In
deed, it is likely that the event will
reach the point where adults will be
attracted, and the big hotel will prob
ably be thronged by more than on
opening day last July.

CITY DADS MAKE
new RESOLUTION

Members Of the council in the psst
year, according to Mayor ScObee. who
at a meeting Of the body Monday

council members a spirited lecture in
urging reform, when confronted with
appeals have acted on their own initi-
stive without taking fellow commit
teemen into their confidence. The
mayors appeals resulted m the conn
cilmen expressing a willingness TO sub
scribe TO a New Yea s resolution to
act the coming year only on full COM
mitee authority.
The council in session Monday night
adopted a budget as tentatively drawn
and which will require a total tax levy
of S4S.9l2
