There are two groups of these

according to cities and states, and put
them in the proper cases. The let

in the mail bags, ready for the trucks

The same procedure is followed in

Boys Club Enjoys
Christmas Party
Optimist Club And Boys Club
Directors Hosts AT Turkey
Dinner At Miller's Restaurant
Sunday Afternoon.

The Optimist Club of Hagerstown
and the Board of Directors of the
Hagerstown Boys Club were hosts to
sixty-one members of the Boys Club,
at turkey dinner and Christmas
party, held at Miller's Restaurant,
South Potomac street, on Sunday
afternoon, from three until five
o'clock.
Promptly at o'clock, the boys,
in charge of the clubs superintend-
ent, Floyd Neal, marched into the
restaurant and took their seats
eight boys being seated at each la
BILE with two members of the spon-
soring groups acting as host at each
table-and in less time than it takes
to tell, were wading into a fine
turkey dinner, with all the trim
mings.
When the last vestige of the de
licious turkey gravy had been dis
posed of and the last spoonful of ice
cream devoured, the youngsters sat
back in their chairs, loosened their
belts, and prepared to enjoy an hour
long program.
Proceedings opened with a draw
ing for eight special prizes. When
the eight lucky" boys came for
ward, they were each presented with
toy musical instrument and, stand
ing before the assembly, were called
upon to give forth with Jingle
Bells" While their harmony was
slightly off key, they produced
plenty of noise, to the delight of the
assembly.
This was followed by a sound
movie, '"The Music Album" and the
cheers and yells provided ample
evidence that the kids enjoyed every
minute of it.
The party ended on a very happy
note, when Santa Claus arrived and
distributed model airplane outfits to
every boy present, together with bags
of fruit and candy.
Too much credit cannot be given
the Optimist Club committee, under
the Craftsmanship of James l. Dudley
(who is also a director of the Boys
Club, who made all the arrange
ments for the party, and a word of
praise is also due Miller's Restaurant,
not only for the fine meal they pre-
pared, but also for the extremely eff
ficient way in which it was served.

Sugar Stamp No. So
Valid January |

The Office of Price Administra-
ton has announced that Spare
Stamp No. So, in Ration Book No. 4,
will be good for five pounds of sugar,
effective January l, 1947, and will
remain valid through April 80.
It is anticipated that more sugar
will be available in 1947 than was
the case this year, due to an increas-
ed sugar crop, though no definite
commitment has been made by the
OPA. There is a possibility, how
ever, that a second 1947 stamp may
become valid before Stamp No. So
expires on April 30.
It is also believed that house
wives will get more canning sugar
in 1947 than they were allotted this
year.
