 Another subject of discussion last night was the announcement that the budget had been increas ed for the Good Cheer Commit tee in view of many additional needy cases in Nome which had come to the attention of the com mittee during the past few days, This is one of the finest exam pies of neighborly friendship and feeling which could be manifest ed, the distribution of baskets of food, articles of material value, to those who cannot afford some of the finer things of the Christ mas celebration.
 Other reports were received from various committees, indicat- ing that the big celebration to take place tomorrow will certain ly draw nearly everyone in town to Front Street to watch the per formances in the afternoon, and .ater to the auditorium in the evening for the final program, at eight o'clock pm.
