THE GHOSTS I
CHRISTMAS
By BETTY BILLHIMER
Aged II Years

Once there was a ghost who was
very unhappy. He knew that for
i'm there would be no Christmas
80 he went around all day long
and all night long, screeching. He
was so very unhappy.
His house was gray and the
laundry would not take his sheet,
so that was gray too. The only
time there was running water in
his house was when it rained, and
then it came thru the holes in the
roof instead of out of faucets.
Poor little Elmer! THAT was
his name.) Sam Skeleton lived
next door to Elmer and he wasn't
very popular either, because he rat
tied all the time, instead of screech-
ing like Elmer fts 'sfi
One night when Elmer went to
bed it was showing, and it Was
Christmas Eve too. That night
Elmer heard the door open and
he thought it was a mortal. 1t
was. 1t was Santa Claus, but Ell
mer was so scared he hid his head
under his pillow and went to sleep.
In the morning when Elmer woke
up he looked out Of his window and
down in the village everyone was
happy. Poor little Elmer was so
unhappy. He went down the hall
to the stairs and down them to the
living room. When he went in the
living room, there, in the middle
of the room, sat a Christmas tree.
Under it was box of sheets, a
pack or two of Grade A shingles
and book called what the Best
Dressed Ghost Should Wear. Ell
mer was so happy he let out a very
loud yell.
So you see that ghosts can have
a Christmas too. -

PLANS APPROVED

Unanimous approval Of boys

Tuesday afternoon by the Rec
reation division of the Council of
Social Agencies to H. Carl Moul-
trie, chairman of the committee
sponsoring the project, w. A. Ra-
ney, vice chairman of the division,
announced Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Raney disclosed that the
recreation group saw the outlined
program for Negro youths as "a
constructive step toward the pre-
vention of juvenile delinquency"
Moultrie reported that the COM
mittee backing construction of
such a club is composed of men,
bers. of the City Inter-racial
group, principals OF Negro schools,
and members of the PARENT Teach
ers association.
The proposed club would be
open to Negro boys from five to
II years of age, from all sections
of the city, but special emphasis
would be given to activities for
under-privileged boys.
A suitable location is being
sought, and it is hoped that
