MILTON
Christmas IN Milton


body directed the advertising ant
suggested the plans of entertain
ment given to attract buyers to Mil
ton. Despite the puritanical decision
OF the law officials that. the drawing
for cash prizes though the tickets
We're given free, the flow of trade
was only slightly slackened. Buyers
from the surrounding districts, fai
removed from the natural physical
Milton zones, continued to shop in
Milton stores, claiming that the
goods offered here were as diversi-
fed as in larger towns and cities
and cheaper in price.
The churches celebrated the holi-
days with impressive services and
contributed to the happiness of the
less fortunate with well filled bas-
kets of food, clothing and fruits. The
firemen, in conjunction with the
Chamber of Commerce, distributed
candy, fruit and toys to the children
of the community with lavish hand,
making many little hearts glad. AL
together, it has been a most pleasant
Christmas in this community.
One very pleasing feature of the
Christmas carols by the young peo-
pie of Goshen and Grace Methodist
churches on Sunday evening after
the regular evening worship. They
visited the sick and shut-ins and
sang beautifully before such homes.
Real Ghristlike thoughtfulness!
