COMMUNITY XMAS COMMITTEE
 70 REVISE TIME FOR STAGING
 GIGANTIC FIREWORKS DISPLAY

The Community Xmas Tree Committee is meeting in a special meeting tonight at 2 PM. at the school building to reconsider a date for the staging of the Fire works Display, in view of the circumstances which have arisen conflicting with many private af- fairs, and also the lateness of the hour, if presented following the program on Wednesday evening.
 Various suggestions for proper times have been heard including Christmas Eve (this conflicts with the Native Church program and Christmas Caroling by the Eski- mo Choir), Christmas afternoon, (this would conflict with the many home observances of the day), and New Years Eve, there appears to be no conflict).
 To our way of thinking, New Years Eve would be the most appropriate time as the public generally is figuring on attend ing the New Years Eve Frolic Barn Dance that evening, and the fireworks would be over with by 10 p.m., thus allowing any who care, to attend the big dance that evening, and also providing an interim when the public at large can participate in seeing out the old and, ushering in the new year.

(UP)-Spanish rebel troops,
gaining momentum as they
advance, are within striking
distance of Toledo.
Loyalist troops on the Maqueda-
Toledo front are retreating to
new defensive line. Unless the
rebels are stopped promptly, the

Toledo will be besieged themselves.
HordeS of loyalist militiamen
have been thrown into the battle,

fronts, for the loyalists have not

the northeast; Toledo "a miles to
the southeast.

the loyalists fell back on Quismon-
don, four miles toward Madrid.
Militiamen, however, continued to
retreat from Quismondon on TO
