The Winslow mail., 1924-12-19

~ zona has ever observed.
Santa Claus has con-
sented to appear per-
Y sonally under the
twinkling lights of the
~ - big evergreen tree and
~ attend to the distribu-
tion of the gifts to the
children and lend his hearty voice
to the swelling of the Christmas
carols
The B. p. o. Elks lodge this week,
with typical gracious courtesy, whole
heartedly entered into the plans for
the community tree, and gave up their
own planned observance,
and were the most generous contribu
tions to the expense of the tree, and
the members are giving of their time
and efforts to put the affair across
big
The other lodges of Winslow are
contributing generously of time and
money, and the Women's club always
active in municipal affairs, have taken
over one of the most arduous duties
connected with the celebration, that
of making the stockings to hold the
gifts of candies, nuts and fruit for
the thousand or more recipients of
Santa Claus bounty.
The merchants have co-operated
handsomely, contributing with dona-
tions from their stocks and with
money and giving of their time. Most
everyone in town is helping to make
the occasion one of gladness and good
cheer.
The tree will be lighted about five
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon, and the
community sing of Christmas carols,
will follow during that hour, led
by the high school glee clubs, COM
bined with the choirs from the several
churches, under the direction of Chas.
A. Goodhall, leader of the high school
band and orchestra. A sufficient num-
Der of copies of the songs to be sung
have been printed for distribution to
the assemblage and everyone is urged
TO take part so that the, hallulujahs
shall float across the desert in all di-
rections, until the natives of Phoenix
will think a new broadcasting station
is on the air.
The old songs that everyone knows
will be sung, Silent Night" 'All
Through the Night" Onward Chris
and America the Beautiful"
