Thoughts over the Holidays
Well, it's all over, and we think we
hear a collective sigh of relief.
Who wants to buy a Christmas
Tree, slightly used, cheap? Among
the bright spots the Clayton Bank
and Trust Co. stood out. Banks
are usually noted for the strictly
business and on the conservative
side, but this year Clayton Bank
had a gaily decorated tree in the
lobby, greeting cards posted here
and there-and to top off this gay
note the Christmas Carols were
played for the enjoyment of the
customers. A word of praise is
due to Mr.. Bernard Norman and
staff. No, I'm not in the market
for loan! AS to the decorations
on the homes, unique one was
that of the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Short, the large bells
hanging together with the Yule
greens, were a quiet, but effective
decoration. Other homes with
pleasing decorations were those of
MIR. and Mrs. Harvey Carrow, MIR.
and Mrs. Charles Swain, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Duff, and Mr.. and Mrs
w. T. Argo. Most other homes
had decorations, pretty, but quiet
in keeping with the times-a wish
to retain the Christmas spirit, but
with many a thought for The Boys
Over There" How nice it would
