on the street with candies or other means of illumination. Special care should be taken when candles are used, that no curtains are in a posi- ton where they would be liable to catch fire. Lamps or electric burbs on an extension cord has been found to give the same results as the candles and they are advocated.
 In kcnsington St. Paul's T. A. & B. society has lighted the large tree in front of it's building on Beech swamp road. This has been a year ly custom with the organization and adds much color to the district. An other privately owned tree in Ken sington is lighted at night, being sit uated near the American Paper Goods Co.
 A suggestion given by those in charge of the move is that all porch lights be on until midnight of Christmas eve. This observance is generally used throughout other parts of the country and has boen found to add a welcoming touch to the holiday decorations. To travel CTS passing through the town, the porch lights give cheeryy greeting and with Berlin situation on the main highway, it is thought that such a custom would be more than worth the expense that would be entailed.
 Numerous private and club af- fairs are planned for the children. nearly every local organization giv- ing a Christmas party for the youngsters. The "Tabs' of Kensing- ton started festivities on Sunday when they distributed toys and candy to zoo children of the vicin- ity. East Berlin's Knights of Py- thias and Pythian Sisters entertained last evening and several celebrations are planned for tonight and every night until the great day.
 Town officials are behind the movement for community ob- servancc and urge that each resi- dent do his bit.

The National Democratic Club OF
this city will put the request before
him, this action having been decided

The District has not had a Demo

ineligible. The suggestions has come
from mere than one source that If
the local Republican organization is
unable to unite upon candidate
when the President will accept,
there is plenty of available Demo
cratic tinfbers for the job.
There is no indication at the
White House as to what progress
has been made towards the selec-
ton of a new commissioner. and
there is general belief that the
choice will be delayed until Con-
