Christmas Dinners
Halted for Firemen

Answering n fire alarm Christmas
Day, many of them leaving their
Christmas dinners in order to per
form their duty to their town, fire
men again demonstrated their will
inGness to serve under all circum-
stances. Every fireman was present
except Fire Chief Jack Sheahan. who
was spending the day in Saratoga.
The fire a found to be at the
Aero Filing station, located at the
corner of Cedar and Eighth streets.
Knowing the inflamablo character
of goods handled by the Aero com
Danv, fireman laid hose lines in ad-
dition to using chemicals. The
flames were in the basement of the
place and very little damage was
done before they were put out.
This was the second fire of the
week. the first being that of a small
shack across the viaduct occupied by
a Mexican and his family. Built
solidly of ties, this house became a
smoldering mass that resisted the
efforts of firemen to the last. More
than So gallons of chemicals we're
used before the fire wa extinguish-
ed. The house was far from a hy'
drant of any sort. neccssitating the
laying of 1000 feet of hose.

Christmas Cantata

A very interesting event of h
Christmas season was the entertain
ment given by the Methodist Sun
day School on Christmas Eve. The
church was decorated artistically,
with Christmas decorations and an
abundance of evergreen, and the
colored lighting effect was very
beautiful.
A large Christmas tree decorated
with tiugol and strings of electric
bulbs was very attractive to the
children and came in for a good
share Of their attention. Both the
church and the Sunday School room
were filled with visitors who hugely
enjoyed the program. Tie cautata
THE Interrupted Program" blended
nicely, the Christian spirit OF
Christmas along with the popular
story of Santa Claus.
Mrs. RohucE. the superintendent.
and her efficient corps of workers
. deserve great credit for the success
OF the entertainment. The usual
treat OF candy and oranges was APP
I n|rrriatad by the children and an
offering OF almost SIS was freely

Social Dances
To Start Tomorrow

The Social and Community We'll
fare committee of Rawlins Lodge of
Elks Is giving a series of dances for
the purpose of raising money with
which to carry out its program OF
charitable work in Rawlins and Car
bon county.
The Elks Lodge here during the
past season has done more charita-
BILE work than at any time previous
ly. With the large influx of people
to this city, caused by the oil activi-
ties of this section. the Elks realized
that there was certain to be many
destitute people in the community.
To take care OF this need for charity
the Rawlins Lodge of Elks some
months since appointed a Social and
Community welfare committee whose
duty IL was to administer charity
outside the order.
This committee has been directing
its efforts toward assisting children
who. because of poverty. have been
unable to attend school. A large
number of children have been COM
pletely outfitted and are now at
tending the Pawlins schools. Prac-
tically all of these children who have
been assisted have not been attend
ing school because OF lack of cloth
ing, etc.
A series of five dances have been
arranged by the Social and Welfare
committee for the purpose of raising
funds with which to carry on the
work that has been started. Those
who attend this series OF dances can
feel that they are assisting the COM
