PLANNED
FOR YULE LIGHTS
Rules For Annual Christmas
Contest Are To Be An
nOunced Sunday

Cash prizes will be awarded, as
in former years at Christmas time,
flor exterior electrical displays at
residences in the city and county,
James E. L. Wade, commissioner
of public works, said yesterday.
Rules for the annual contest will
be announced Sunday and lights
must burn from Christmas Eve
through New Years in order to
be eligible, Commissioner Wade
lsaid.
The committee will tour the city
and county sometime during that
period and if the lights ire not
on, the houses of contestants will
not be considered.
All electrical outside displays
must be entered by letter to the
office of Commissioner Wade in
the city hall. The letters of entry
must include the name and adj
dress, location of property, and re-
quest for consideration in the con-
test.
II am hoping that the interest
In the contest this year will again
be keen, as this form of outside
electrical lighting of homes in the
city and county adds much to the
Yuletide season in our communi-
ty," Commissioner Wade said. 5
