Arrangements Mature
For Community Tree
Chairman Thompson Exerting
Efforts to Make This Years
Celebration Banner Event.

Chairman Raymond P. Thompson,
of the Kiwanis Community Christmas
Tree celebration committee, is putting
forth every effort to make this years
celebration the banner event of the
kind the local Club has sponsored.
MI. Thompson is the type of man who
believes anything worth doing de-
serves TO be put across with a bang.
He is giving much of his time TO di-
recting the details of the affair, and is
constantly in touch with the members
of the various subcommittee who are
arranging the varied activities con-
nected with such an event.
While all arrangements have not as
yet been completed. the Committee
has definitely settled that the tree
will be erected at Main street and
West Jersey venue, on the property
of the West Jersey Railroad, the Rail-
road company having this week grant
ed the use of the property for this
purpose. The location is more central
than the City Hall lot, where the tree
has heretofore been placed.
The committee in charge of the
community sing in connection with
the event promises an unusually line
aggregation of %songsters for the occa-
sion. This committee is composed of
Drs. L. c. Spalding, WOODBURY. ]. Hud-
son, Robert NJ. Grier and Stanley d.
Parsells.
In connection with the event, there
will be distributed baskets of food,
clothing and other necessities to the
worthy poor of the community. Henry
Soul, County Probation Officer, heads
this committee. Mr.. Scull is thor
oughly familiar with the families most
needing this aid, and his judgment in
the matter is absolute.
Seeley Turner has charge of the
tree decorating, which assures a brill
iantly lighted and decorated three.
Anyone desiring to contribute sup
plies, clothing, money or anything use
full toward making the event a happy
affair for the poor of u city and sur
rounding territory will be comforting
a favor by getting in touch with Mr..
Thompson. Any parcels will be gladly
called for and thankfully received.
Remember, the need is great, and the
opportunity afforded TO be of service
to your fellow man at this gladstone
Christmas season is n seldom offer
ed. Do not let the chance pass TO help
those less fortunate than yourself.
