Schedule

Christmas starts ct o'clock sharp,
Monday afternoon.
: That Is the hour when the curtain
goes up on the celebration the COM
munity has prepared for the children
Of the city at the auditorium.
The exactness Of the hour Is the
dictum Of 9. L. Young. who Is chair
man Of the committee that planned
and stocked up for the affair. He
IS to preside and he wants the cere-
monies to start promptly. This Is
something for the kiddies and the
adults who are to assist in the event
to remember.
When he calls for order, which is
very likely to be conspicuous by its
absence the chairman expects to face
at least 1900 clamorous youngsters
as minimum. The committee has
prepared gift packages for 1000.
Whether the minimum or the maxi
mum number appears, the auditorium
Is going to be jammed. At least so
