Many and Varied
Are The Offerings
Fine Choice Made
CHRISTMAS CITY
John Tombers, First;
D. B. Caughren, Second ;
Fred Unger, Third

Selection of winners in the
Christmas home decoration con-
test, conducted by the Community
Club this year, was not an easy
task for the judges, who completed
their work Monday night. Many and
varied are the offerings this year,
and all Of them are beautiful, and
it will be worthwhile for all Of the
city's residents to make a trip
around the city to view them.
Winners and those receiving hon
orable mention were selected as
follows:
Ffrst-John Tombers.
SecOnd-David Caughren.
Third-Fred Unger.
FOurth-B. o. Vogel.
F1ftir-Mrs. j. w. Ward.
Sixth-Msgr. A. PlacIhta.
Seventh-A. N. Cordell.
Honorable mention - George
Aldous, John Mondloch, John
Hansen, Charles Miller, Andrew
Nelson.
John Tombers. with a beautiful
offering representing a church at
Christmastide, was an excellent
first choice. The D. B. Caughren
home was resplendant in blue light
ing effects across the top and below
the front windows and colored
lights around the doorway. Musi-
cal notes floating from a horn were
depicted in the blue lights above,
and the entire effect was pleasing
and well arranged. The third prize
winner, Fred Unger, arranged the
front of his home with a large
Christmas package bow, with col
ored lights, and the entire display
was effectively shown off with a
spot light.
Unique among the decorations
was the offering Of George Aldous,
who resides at the corner Of Sixth
and Getty Streets. Two large cross
es made Of ice were set at the
foot of the steps at the front of
the home. Each cross was illumi-
mated with a blue light, and the
effect was beautiful with the lights
permeating the entire cross for a
complete outline. Completing the
setting was a large Christmas tree
placed in the porch, which towers
over lighted city in winter scene
This part Of the decorative scheme
could well depict the Town Of Beth
lehem. and the entire setting pro-
vides a beautiful picture. It is
something different than has ever
been attempted in this city.
AS said before all Of the decora-
lions in the city are beautiful and
worthwhile. The writer was par
ticularly impressed while driving
about the city Tuesday evening, by
the many outdoor and indoor
Christmas trees placed for the con-
venience Of those who travel by.
Gratifying also is the cooperation
OF a large number Of people who
have placed lighted wreaths and
candles in the windows of their
homes. More than ever this year
can we say that the Christmas spir-
It permeates the city, and the prac-
tice is one which should be con-
tinued In honor Of the birthday of
the King Of Kings each year.

About Visit to Havana

of Havana slowly, and I saw the
beautiful Cuban flag on top Of
Moro Castle. Next I saw the palace
Of the President, who is Cuba's own
chief executive.
After we left the boat, we visited
the capitol, where the Congress of
Cuba makes the nations laws. It is
a beautiful building Of white stone
with a golden dome. It has q door
that weighs many tons, q long table
made from one piece Of wood that
has no nails in 1t, and q tall statue
depicting the people OF Cuba. In
front Of this statue, In the floor, is
q big diamond that is the zero mile
stone Of the central highway through
the country.
The thing I liked best in Ha-
vana was the monument erected to
the memory Of the victims Of the
Maine. On each side are cannons
from the Maine, with the chains of
the ship, and in the center are two
tall stone columns representing
Cuba and the United States. On
top Is an eagle that unites them
and protects their friendship. I am
proud of 1t, because was born in

ing we went to st. Petersburg across
the Candy Bridge, which is 6 miles
long over the gulf. At Tampa we
visited rattlesnake and alligator
farm where rattlesnake meat Is
canned.
Two days later we were in st.
Augustine, Oldest city in the United
States. There We saw the Oldest
house in the country and some fine
old hotels and churches. They have
the quaint custom there Of having
colored men In high silk hats drive
the tourists over the city in old
fashioned carriages. We visited the
old fort and the old city gates, built
as q defense against the English in
1874 In the reign Of King Philip v of
Spain.
After riding through q beautiful
avenue Of Spanish moss-covered
oaks, we came to Ponce de Icons
Fountain Of Youth. Here we were
greeted by Spanish girls and re-
ceived drinks from the fountain,
given by a man In q Spanish cos
tune. A cross on the ground marks
the date, Is stones one way and IL
stones the other, meaning 1913, when
Ponce de Leon discovered Florida.
When we reached the Georgia
State lire In the late afternoon, We
said our ''good-by" to Florida.

Talented Pianist Hopes to
Play on Concert Stage

strange to say, Virginia didn't take
lessons from her mother as might
be expected. Incidentally, from her
musical ancestors we find that her
grandmother on her fathers side
was student under List and that
her great-uncle on her mothers
side was supervisor of the Buda-
pest Conservatory of Music Of Grad
uate Students. Her sister Fay plays
the violin and also does nice art
work.
Virginia has been taking lessons
for about four years. and, as one
might presume, believe that she
is rapidly approaching the stage OF
being an artist In her field. AT
Oxon Hill she has proved herself
q real champion Of classical music
Although she plays selections from
all Of the old masters well, she shows
q preference for those Of Chopin
(And I will tell you, as she told
me, that Chopin is pronounced Sho-
pan; not Chop-pin)
Asked about her choice of career
she told us, II thoroughly. enjoy
playing classical music and I hope
to be able some day to play on the
concert stage"
