rations this year creating a beauti-
ful effect. Along the sidewalks of
Walnut street real evergreen trees
have been placed in specially con-
structed boxes. These, together with
the hangers of evergreen and laurel
add a natural touch to the artificial.
These trees were donated to the
City of Milford by Lester LOvett.

to have only one large Christmas
tree in the business section; this
year to balance the arrangement,
another huge tree has been added.
One is located as usual in the
Plaza Square, the other in North
Milford section on Walnut street.
Both are to be adorned with hum
dreds of colored lights creating a
picture of soft warm beauty. The
setting and arrangement of these
trees was sponsored by the Milford |
Rotary Club.
