Gaithersburg looks quite festive
now that the Christmas lights are
up. If you haven't gotten the
Christmas spirit yet, you have only
to visit the business section and
see the beautiful lights, and you
will realize that Christmas is just
around the corner. In fact there
are only twelve more shopping
days left. For years there was a
great deal of criticism of Gath
ersburg because little was done to
decorate the town. However, since
the Business Mems Association
started this lighting project, one
heard only praise. Your cores
pondent would like to add her
thoughts on the subject and say,
Congratulations to the Associa-
ton for doing such good job"
