Leaves received the highest rating
possible at the Montana state uni
versity school of journalism. The
rating was an all-state, and was
the third such rating of the Leaves

l2OO Children Here
For Annual Treat
Event Well Managed,
Theaters Cooperate

The annual candy treat and
theatre party, Saturday after
noon, sponsored by the Noble
County Chamber of Commerce,
drew approximately 1000 kiddies
to the county seat.
Free movies were shown at the
Roxy and Noble theatres, after
which the candy and orange treat
was given to each child who at
tended. There were two showings
at both theatres to adequately
take care of the large number
who flocked to Caldwell.
Santa Claus was again in Cald-
well and he personally visited
each of the theatres during the
showings.
The two free shows at the
Roxy and Noble theaters were
the theater owners donation to
the annual party and treat.
Only the special free shows
were shown and were open to the
public to attend. The usual after
noon matinees were cancelled in
favor of the Christmas treat for
kiddies. This is the custom fol-
lowed each year upon the re-
quest of the Chamber of Com
merce.
The total contribution re-
ceived for the annual party and
treat amounted to $244.65. r. c.
Moore of the r. c. Moore Lumber
Co., Inc, contributed $500, which
amount was not included in the
report released last week.
The treat was also managed In
such a way this year that the
previous congestion in the two
theatres was eliminated and the
handling of the kiddies was much
smoother.
Santa's first official visit to
Caldwell was arranged for Dec.
9, set-up for the smaller children
of the community and county,
in order that they might see OF
Nick.
The annual candy treat and
theatre party followed on the
next Saturday, Dec. 16, with ap-
proximately 1000 children at
both events.
The annual treat and theatre
party was considered successful
from every angle.

Yule Decorations
Most Attractive
Adds Much To
Business District

An addition to the Christmas
scene, different from any other
previous year, has been made by
the Noble County Chamber of
Commerce in Caldwell, under
the direction of H. B. Young,
decoration chairman, and who
was ably assisted by the village
maintenance force.
The gaily Illuminated plastic
decorations suspended from light
standards around the public
square are the Christmas decora-
tions from the chamber of COM
merce and the village council,
both who are doing a good job
of reviving the old-fashioned
Christmas spirit. The court
house decorations were made
possible thru the cooperation of
the county commissioners and
courthouse custodians, Bill Her
ron and Dick Davis.
Busy citizens, bustling from
store to store, intent on Christ
mas buying, are cheered on their
way by the sight of smiling
Santa Clauses, large red Christ
mas bells, the traditional crosses
and wreaths.
These decorations are sus-
pended from the light standards
and will be removed after the
season has passed and placed in
storage to be used again for
many years to come.
Chamber of Commerce officials
are planning to add to the new
decorations each year with the
thought in mind that eventually
the square will be brilliantly IL
Illuminated for the Yuletide sea-
son.
It. has also been noticed that
the children are especially fond
of the new decorations.
Several local stores are also
appropriately decorated for the
season and never has the busi-
ness district looked better for
the observance of Christmas.

championship.
The victory, first over New
York in three attempts this
year by the four time All-Ameri-
can conference champions, cata-
pults the Browns into the league
championship game at Cleveland
against the Rams.
The Caldwell Musical March
eteers" will be the only band
featured at this game and they
will put on a 12-minute show.
Director Marvin P. Wood said
that the expenses of the band
will be paid by the Cleveland
Browns and the trip will be
made in a Lakeshore bus.
The entire show will be tele-
vised from coast to coast, except
for the immediate vicinity of
Cleveland, Director Wood said.
This will also mark the first
time that Caldwell's outstanding
precision marching band has
been televised in coast to coast
broadcast, although once pre-
viously they appeared on a tele-
vision show.
Their appearance in Cleveland
next Sunday resulted in a per-
sonal invitation from the Cleve-
land Browns. This will mark
their third showing in the Cleve-
land stadium.
Director Wood said the band
members will leave at 7:30
o'clock, Sunday morning, ar
irving in Cleveland at 1890 pm.
Immediately after their half
time performance, the band will
embark on the trip back, in order
that they might spend Christmas
eve at their homes.
1t is expected that Mr.. and
Mrs. Wood will accompany the
band members on this trip. In
the event, Mrs. Wood is unable
to go, Coach Leo Strang will
make the trip.

evening, and it wasn't from the
cold weather.
His 1850 Ford was stolen from
in front Of his home on Lewis

more than an hour later at Cam

few minutes after the car was
stolen. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Rice had been visiting at the
Mckee home and the loss was
observed when they left at $50
p. m.
The patrolmen noticed the
stolen car on the south side of
Cambridge and gave chase. The
two young men jumped out and
ran up an adjacent alley.
The stolen vehicle was moving
in reverse and would have hit
the patrol car had not one of the
patrolmen jumped in and hit the
brake. The other gave chase but
slipped and fell on the icy pave
ment, permitting the culprits to
escape.
A % revolver was found on
the front seat of the car. 1t was
not damaged and there were no
finger prints.
A very chagrined deputy
sheriff returned his car to Cald-
we'll, Monday morning.
