ChristmaSTr
For State Wards
In Kennebec to
Be Held at State
House on Dec. %

The Christmas tree party Tor the
State wards in Kennebec county will
be held in the hall Of representatives
at the State House. probably on
Tuesday, Dec. %, at 2 p. NJ, accord
ing to the announcement made yes
terday by Secretary CRUDE B. Cor
nish Of the Board Of Charities and
Corrections, who with the other MEM
bers Of that department are busily
engaged in making preparations for
the event.
AT about the same time, Christmas
tree festivities will be held for the
State wards in the other nine dis
tricts, SO that each one Of the 1900
young people under the care of the
Charities board will receive a Yule-
tide gift. Santa Claus has promised
to include most of these parties in his
itinerary and the occasions will be
filled with the spirit of the season.
AS may be presumed, the task Of
providing a gift for each of these
children is of no small proportions.
A total Of $500 will be needed, or an
average of 81 per child. Secretary
Cornish Is now sending out letters 20
organizations and individuals of the
State appealing for funds in order to
assure the success of these parties.
The first check unsolicited came from
the Women's club Of York Village.
The Winthrop Girls club has agreed
to dress Sc dolls for the little girls.
The Charities Board made a re-
quest of the Governor and Council a
short time ago for authority to use
81 per child from the boards appro-
priation for securing the Christmas
gifts. but the Governor and Council
decided that it would be better to
solicit the Christmas fund from the
friends of the children. So the cam
paign has been started to raise
minimum of $1,000 to make Christmas
a joyful time for all of the State
wards.
Secretary Cornish stated yesterday
that the board would prefer gifts of
money rather than toys because the
board knows the gifts best suited for
the children and is able to made a
considerable saving by purchasing
them at factory prices. Second hand
gifts are not desired because the
larger part of them need repairs and
the board has no faculties for put
ting these toys in order. Each year,
a list is kept of the gift presented to
each Of the children so that in COM
ing years there will be no duplica-
ton. 1t is hoped that the response to
the Christmas appeal will be gen.

BUILDING NEARBY

Reports of proposed extensive buildings in Plainville, come to- day, singularly coincident with the publication of an item under "25 Years Ago Today in the Herald. That little item tells of the difficulty then experienced in extending Vine street to Hart, because of the rocky formation of the soil. This extension will open up large section for build ing lots" the item continues. Well, it dfd But the mention Of this cxten- sion of Vine street. only 2j years ago. emphasizes forcibiy the development of the city in the last quarter Of q century.
 But Il small part Of this develop ment came because of the automobile, By the time the automobile had be- come common vehicle Of transporta- ton. that section of the city was pretty well developed. At the present time, however, with so many families owning ears and the price of cars having dropped so low, those who fail to sec the significance of the situation are slow to recognize any Of tho changes that will bring great benefits if appreciated
 The Herald has dwelt pretty con- sistently on the wisdom Of iny<stment in building. Months ago--probably over year ago--an economic expert wrote of the growing tendency for workers to have their homes at some distance from their offices or work. shops. While a building boom in Plainville would benefit Plainville it is quite likely that many who occupied those new homesi in Plainville would work in this city. Thus both Plainyille and New Britan would be benefited. and, what is better still, the people would be able to have fresh air in greater abundance.
 With the fine road winch lies be- tween this city and Plslnyille, it is | but few minutes drive between the two. New Britain people as well as Inc residents Of Plainville will hope hat the building boom will come.

GARNER BILL PASSES

The Garner tdcmocratic) tax re- duction bill passed the house 222 to 196. This was made possible by the addition Of i7 republicans. one far mer-1aborite and one independent to the 203 democrats Of the house. four democrats and II republicans not voting The Mellon plan failed. al- though given every chance, and al- though the beneficiary or tremendous advertising. The result Of this union Of so-called radical faction of the re- publican party with the democrats Is that. if this bill becomes a law, normal taxes on incomes up 10 ,5.000 will be only per cent. instead Of 3 per cent up to t4.000 as the Mellon plan would have had it, and instead of per cent as now obtains: a normal tax of only per cent on incomes between s5,000 and ss,go0, instead of per cent on incomes above s4.0O0 as Mellon would have had it, and instead Of per cent on incomes of that amount as under the present law; graduated surtax scale beginning at I per cent on in- comes between s12.Ogg and s14.600. up to a maximum of A per cent on incomes exceeding ss2. .goe. instead of the maximum Of only 25 per cent on incomes exceeding si66.ege as the Mellon plan provided. and instead Of the graduating scale with a miximum Of 5e per cent only on incomes above szge.g as at present

\ SILVER ANNIVERSARY

There is something about the silver anniversary soon to be observed in this city of the marriage of the Rev. Dr. John F.. Klingberg and Mrs. klingberg that suggests again the thought of the silver lining to the cloud Of pathos which often hangs over the life of a little child left alone'to face the world. On the day when this man and this woman will be honored again by their friends then present and by the thought Of their many friends who will be there only in spirit, that silver lining will shine from beneath that cloud, almost dispclling the shadow of it.
 For this man. John E. klingberg. has done-all that it would seem hu- manly possible to do to take from pathetic orphaned childhood the sor- row. the loneliness and the unhap- piness usually attendant upon 1t. He himself would say that the happiness he has brought to hundreds of chil. drcn has not come through his own power. but through the omnipotence of Him to whom he has prayed com stantly. He would say that he has been but the instrument in the hands of Him whom he serves in serving the children. Perhaps he would quote "inasmuch as ye have done it unto one Of the least Of these se have done 1t unto Me"
 At this time when the friends Of John E. Klingberg and his wife are making preparation to honor them and to rejoice with them on the silver Of their union, the Herald would express profound appreciation for all that they have done for the children Of the city, in the doing Of which this man and this woman have lived, examples Of the splendor of lives of thought, Of charity toward others.
