COMMUNITY MEETS AT
YULETIDE CELEBRATION
Christmas Spirit Pervades Gathering
At Community Christmas
Tree.

IF there ever were any objection
to the erection of this magnificent
armory building" said Father Raush
celebration on Monday evening, "It
is answered if one but notes the spir-
it which pervades this fine commun-
ity gathering. The erection of this
building finds it's justification in this
bringing together tonight of all the
people of Morris to do honor to the
birth of the Christ, the God who be-
came man for our redemption"
In such words Father Raush hap
PLY expressed the sentiments of ALL,
The community Christmas tree cele-
bration on Monday evening was by
far the most notable community gath
ering ever held in this city, and many
times did those present congratulate
themselves that the community now
a gathering can assemble under one
roof.
The program was in charge Of
Superintendent L. G.. Mustain. After
the invocation by Rev. H. H. Symons,
the senior chorus of st. Mary's school
rendered several beautiful songs, and
J. H. Adams sang the Holy City,"
illustrated with lantern Slides Mrs.
Sorfaten sang o Holy Night and also
lead the school children in singing
Christmas carols. Rev. Raush gave
short but eloquent address congratu-
lating the community on this fine
community gathering and telling
again the great fundamentals of the
Christian faith which suggest them
selves in the celebration of the birth
of Christ. The program closed with
the singing of "Adeste Fideles" by
the Assumption church choir, and so
magnificently was this great hymn of
the church rendered, that the great
audience insisted on it's being repeat
ed.
Earlier in the evening, beautiful
ly decorated Christmas tree had been
placed in the hall, and after the pro-
gram the great doors were opened
and in drove Santa Claus himself
with an automobile loaded with bags
of candy for the little folks. He was
given royal welcome by the chill
dren, and was Immediately the CEN
ter of a happy throng of little folks.
Five hundred bags of candy disap-
peared as by magic.
It is estimated that the celebration
was attended by about 1900 people,
young and old. Several attended
from the surrounding country.
The celebration was such pro-
nounced success that sentiment is un-
animous to make the community
Christmas tree a permanent institu-
tion.

GOOD RESULTS FROM
HEALTH CRUSADE WORK
School Children Sing Health Songs.
Health Reading Table
at Library

Following is the report Of the Stew
ems County Public Health Nurse for
December, 1921:-.s~.
1t has been gratifying to see some
good results already from the health
crusade work. In one country school
which the nurse visited the pupils
received this greeting from the teach
er "Good morning children. How
many cleaned your teeth this morn
ting?". Every hand went up. Then
followed personal inspection
around the room by the teacher.
When the nurse inspected these same
children not dirty mouth was
found.
Some of the schools gave Christ
mas programs the week before the
holidays. Among the selections given
were health selections and verses
such as this
Tune Smiles"
There are foods that make us
healthy,
There are foods that make us thin,
There are cereals that makes us
strong and husky,
AS the coffee makes us lose, mot win
There are vegetables that makes us
rosy,
And the fruits keep us in the same
way,
But the food that helps us most to
grow strong is the milk that we
drink each day.
A reading table for health litera-
ture has now been planned for at
the Morris Public Library. This is
step toward a health center room
which we hope to have some day.
This reading table will contain mag
azines and pamphlets on health sub
jects. Many calls have been made
at the County Nurses Office for such
reading matter and it is hoped that
this table will fill a need. If the
reading material found there does
not meet the needs Of all please no
tify the librarian or the County Nurse
and an effort will be made to furnish
what is wanted.
