Approximately $4,000
Deposited in 2 Banks
Of The City

Impetus will no doubt be given
to the Christmas trade in the var
ious stores and help accorded
business in various lines, locally,
by the distribution of approx
mately $13O,OOO in cash to mem
bers of Christmas Savings Clubs.
The Nicodemus National Bank
and the Farmers and Merchants
Bank were the only banks in the
city carrying these Christmas
Club deposits, which carried no
interest but were kept safely by
the banks until desired at the
happy Yuletide season, and which
probably, at least in many cases,
would not have been available for
the gifts at Christmas had the
clubs not existed.

Citations to Benefit by
Sale of Stickers

Increased effort is needed to
eliminate tuberculosis from this
country, President Roosevelt de-
clared in his proclamation en-
dorsing Christmas Seals. The
sale of seals commenced on
Thanksgiving Day throughout the
United States, Alaska, Hawaii,
and Puerto Rico and will continue
until Christmas Day. More than
1000 State, county and city tuber-
culosis associations throughout
the country are supported by the
income from the seals.
It is still too early to make any
reports on the sale. The weekly
totals for the various counties
have not as yet been announced
by the various chairmen, but
hopes are high as the mail con-
tinues to come in to the different
Christmas Seal headquarters.
The tuberculosis clinics for the
counties of the State have been
scheduled for the month of De-
cember and the announcements
have been sent Nineteen clinics
have been planned. Those elm
les are made possible through the
purchase of Christmas Seals BY
the people of the county in which
they are held.

CHRISTMAS ON IN

of Activity as Xmas
Shopping Begins

Santa Claus is coming to town
and if you don't believe it, all you
have to do is visit stores in the
city. 1t will be quite evident to
you at once that the merchants
are making every effort to meet
his requirements. Some stores,
following an established custom,
will have a personal Santa Claus
to meet the children and give
them gifts of candy, etc.
Many of the stores have been
attractive1y decorated so as to
impart to every one the spirit of
the happy Yuletide season.
Every day as the Christmas sea-
son advances, the shopping crowd
continues to increase, so the wise
shopper will not delay in making
the necessary purchases and
avoid the rush which is sure to
come later.
There will be the usual beauti-
fully decorated and Illuminated
Christmas tree in the Public
Square, probably center of city
Park Lake, and at Pennsylvania
avenue and Charles street.
The stores of Hagerstown will
be open evenings beginning two
weeks before Christmas. The
tree illumination will also begin
at this time.
