The time draws near the birth of
Christ.
The moon is hid. the night is
still:
The Christmas bells from hi

Answer each other in the mist
Four voices of four hamlets
round.
From far and near. on mead
and moor,
Swell out and fail. as if a door
Were shut between me and the
sound:
Each voice four changes on the
wind.
That now dilatc, and now
decrease,
Peace and goodwill. goodwill
and peace.
Peace and goodwill. TO all
mankind.

letter received from Del. E. L.
Bartlett stated that seldom has
any Bill received so much atten-
ton. The committee reported
they feel it behooves the Cham
Der to not sit back, but to keep
abreast of the Bills status. When
passed provision will be made
for the construction of hospital
in the Territory At that time
the Chamber will take steps to
point out availability Of facilities
in the valley for such building.

Bill presented by Senator Malone

and money grants that commit
ment of patients would still be
left to the jury and that the Ma
lone Bill and that of Senator
Globewater should be looked in
to further and an expression of
preference made.

committee chairmen for the Cob
ony Day celebration: Jim Hurley,
