Federation of Women's clubs in
Ration. Seals will be on sale at
the public library, Taylor's news
stand and at the store of G. A.

Various groups of the city are
planning to sing Christmas carols
on Christmas eve and people are
being urged to place candles IL
their windows for the Carolers
to stop. Church Choirs and other
organizations are planning to
to join in the singing.
The advertising curtain at the
Shuler auditorium has recently
been repainted and freshened.
The revenue from these advertise
ments comes to the book fund of
the public library and is used
every year for that purpose. The
library has on sale this year some
books suitable for Christmas
gifts, the idea being to encourage
people TO give good books for
children's Christmas gifts. There
being no regular book store in
the city, the library undertakes
to fill the need in part.
