help given it by the general public,
and nobody realizes that any better
than the Elks.
"Personally, 1 wish you would
make it clear to the public that the
Christmas tree fund anc the money
that goes for Christmas baskets, are
two separate funds. We supply the
Christmas baskets ourselves, but we
ask the public to kick in on the
Christmas tree party.
"This year we expect to have ov-
er 5000 youngsters to take care of.
We know they will be cared for and
| that the Christmas tree party will
be better than ever. There will be
plenty of fun and entertainment at
our 'Jinks' on Friday and Saturday
nights, and we invite every grown
| up in Ell Centro to join in with us.
IT'S all for the kids. None of us
can ever be kids again and the near
est we can approach that happy
stage is to make some other kid
happy. We know Ell Centre is with
us and we re ready to go.''

SHERIFF PLANS
REAL PARTY FOR
JAIL PRISONERS

1t may be just Sunday, December
25, in some jails but it III be Christ
rIas Day to the boys in the custody
of Sheriff C.. l.. Gillett some IL days
hence.
After looking over the days pro-
gram, especially that relating to
Christmas dinner, the writer has be-
gun figuring out some way to land
IN the tolls over the Yuletide week
end. While the sheriff does not plan
to give the boys a pardon as Il
Christmas greeting, he does realize
that Christmas comes but once a
year and numerous special privil-
tges will be allowed those in his GUS
today.
The prisoners must depend on
their friends and relatives to fill
their Christmas stocking but visit
ing will be allowed during the great
er part of the day and the sheriff
has centered his attention on plan
ming real spread for the occasion.
Turkey will be the keynote of the
dinner. During the last week Il
squad of 20 turks have been enjoy-
ing plenty of food and by the time
Christmas rolls around they will be
fattened for the feast. Everything
that goes to make Turkey dinner
will be spread before the boys when
they answer the dinner bell.
The boys will also be allowed to
hold impromptu entertainments at
the Jail, as long as they are con-
Quoted in an orderly manner.
1t is expected that approximately
125 prisoners will be in the custody
| of the sheriff at Christmas time.
There are nearly that number there
row and while some will have gone
elsewhere to enjoy their Christina $
feast, newcomers are expected t.
make up for the shortage of those
released.

CHAMBER WILL
WELCOME HUGE
FORD AIRPLANE

Two huge Ford airplanes, capable
of carryingS II passengers ond driv-
en by three} motors, will hover over
Imperial Valley during the next
week. BothPlanes are the property
of the Maddox Air Lines, incorpor-
ated. The first will arrive here
Friday, picking up cargo of tur-
keys at Imperial airport while the
second plane will bring to the valley
on December 20, officials of the
Maddox company on tour of in
spection.
The second trip will be of the most
interest locally. The officials and
diieeto of the air \line are making
four Of Inspection which will car
rycthem as far%as SPhoenix, Ariz.,
from Los Angeles. SThey will fly
over the valley on the trip east but
will not stop here until on their re

Secretary W. j. Stries stland Of the
Chamber of Commerce has been noti-
fled of their plans and ,he is arrang-
ing to call a meeting of business
men of the valley anil represents
tives of the various chambers of
commerce for a joiats.meeting here
with the airmen. tTill n. Fox of
the Maddox company is arranging
the trip for the Maddox officials.

SALVATION ARMY
CHRISTMAS WORK
WORTHY OF AID

"Keep the pot aboiling," used to
he the familiar cry on the streets OF
certain New England town at
Christmas time a number of years
ago, and undoubtedly is still heard
as Christmas approaches.
The cry was a familiar one all
through that section of the country
and referred to the custom of the
Salvation Army i'll placing Christmas
pots at various places in the business
section where folks could deposit
their contributions.
Even in those days, before theil
wonderful work in the World War
created more tolerant attitude
generally toward the Salvation Ar
my on the part of the public, the
/ majority of citizens used to pitch il
and help make the pot boil.
Here in FL Centre, although the
old familiar cry is not heard, tn.
Salvation Army has its pots in posi-
tion. The public is well aware OF
the splendid work which the Army
does. 1t gets into places wher,
other relief organizations hesitate
and has a knack of finding out the
needy ones.
Commandant Guirey has made &
special plea this year to aid the
Salvation Army The cold spell
coming somewhat earlier than usual
gives promise of lasting longer, and
consequently the demand upon the
Army for food, clothing and shelter
has increased correspondingly
The Christmas season is time fo,
giving. Many FL Centre familie,
, have stocks of clothes for which
they no longer have need, but whicl
VIII answer to keep other less for
tunatc ones comfortable. Tht
Salvation Army will be glad to cal
for these and see that they roacl

1t will also distribute Christina:

Make Christmas
Dinner COlorful

Green and red, barbaric you say?
not for nature or Christmas. Would
you plan a green and silver Christ
mas, or red and white or red and
black one, instead of our colorful
holly feast? When the house is gay
with wreaths of holly and ground
pine and festive with red ribbons
and streamers, and the tree flaunts
it's miniature lights, the table set
for the Christmas dinner must be
gorgeous too. The snowy linen forms
a background against which favors
and decorations show up in all their
glory. This is an occasion when the
food should echo the color scheme,
so we must plan our menu most
carefully The traditional dinner is
similar to the Thanksgiving spread,
though many people vary itgto t he
extent of serving duck or goose. i
Decorate the Table 7
For table decorations some people
prefer the poinsetta plant, small
living Christmas tree, red roses or
the basket of fruits and nuts made
festive with holly branches or twin
ed with ground pine. The average
table does not permit more elabor-
ate structures if there is to be
table service, and what child would
wish to be deprived of seeing the
) rite of carving, and choosing the
drumstick, wing or gizzard whicl
takes his particular fancy, for the
sake of a pretty winter landscape oil
the story of the nativity even IL
all its charm.
Snappers, in red and green, yield
ing caps of every shape and color
add to the general festivity. If
fortune favors, father draws a baby
cap with pale blue streamers and
mother black skull cap such as
, baldheaded men wear to keep off
drafts. A pirate hat for John and a
chefs cap for Mary, and the meal
is off to joyous start.
