Jackson Street
Will be Decorated
In Yule Style

Jackson Street will again take on
IN air of holiday gaiety with Christ
mas decorations adjoining the lamp
posts topped off by huge commu-
nifty Christmas tree, it was announ-
led today. The decorations will be
# the same general type as those
rsed last year but will be more ella
borate and varied. Additional Christ
mas tree lights are also planned.
A group of Jackson Street mer-
chants have solicited most of the
businesses between Fifth and
Fourteenth Avenues for the ne
cessary funds and have asked the
Civic Committee of the jackson
Street Council to take charge of
planning, preparing and putting
up the decorations. Anyone who
would like to contribute but has
not been contacted may make his
donation to Henry Chin, Victory
Flower Shop, 677 Jackson st. Chin
is chairman of the decorating
committee.
Cedar wreaths and garlands will
re used as the decorating motif. Al
though the materials are all being
purchased the wreaths and gar
lands must be made by volunteers
as they were last year in order to
tay within the very limited budget
the committee has set. Arrangements
have been made to use Neighborhood
House, 18th and Main Street, as the
workshop in which to prepare the
decorations. Volunteers will be need
ed during the week of November %,
and may go to Neighborhood House,
afternoons or evenings to suit their
convenience. The work is simple
and requires no previous experience.
1--WE were especially pleased by
the reception we got at the City
Engineers office when we went to
apply for a decorating permit
Chin reported. "The permit was
given without hesitation because,
as the engineer put it, You people
were very fine last year and did
everything you said you would
including removing the decorations
on time"
Members of the decorations COM
mittee from the Council include,
in addition to the chairman, Seiichi
Hara, w. E. Vrooman, Takashi Hori
and Cloteil Swancy.
