Snta Claus will find Valley people
in a cheerful Holiday mood this year,
;and most every one has plans for a
happy holiday. The local stores ere
almost sold out of Xmas presents and
while the Post Office reports the
largest business in the history of
the local office, it seemed as if
there wasn't hardly anything to buy
in comparison with other years, but
business bouses may find that they
have-; done a larger amount of business
than f-:vor before, when the totals can
be determined-.
The Comunity Christmas Program
was 1 d rt the Comunity Auditoriumn
Thursday afternoon and was well at
tended.

spec!-1 picture show this evening,
showing; Wings for the Eagle.

restriction and many will come to
the Valley for the Holidays, to meet
and celebrate with Valley Friends.
