NOT TOO EARLY TO START
The word Santa Claus Is recognizee
in every language through cut the
civilised world today. As Chris
tmas time draws near, every child
is anxiously expectant to be re
membered. A now toy, or just a
bit of bright glittering trim
ming sends his y ung pulse throb
ing with new h pa, and what is
Christmas with ut some candy or
fruit?
Any person who deliberately re
fuses to recognize the , chilcls ex
pectant longings, is void of all
human feelings of tenderness and
kindness. It is the civilized
duty of every community to plan
for the ultimate fulfillment
of Christmas for its children,
Thoir childish wishes arc so easily
granted. They d not demand
elaborate and costly gifts as a
rule and are aim st never disap
pointed with a. less expense one.
The thing every child longs for
and rightfully demands is a Chris
tmas tree. It must be a bright
shiny one, and the more trimmings
the mope complete is their Chris
tmas. ' Each tiny bit of tinsel
and. red paper holds their fasinatr
cd enthusiasm. It is the duty of
every community to its children
to fullill this one wish of the
year; Therefore, the easist and
cheapest way to do this, is plan
a Community Tree, with all its
splendor. Money donated to till,
cause can be used, to purchase
trimming which can be used from
year to year. And we nope there
is none among us like the man
who refused to pay his school tan
cn the grounds that, ,rhe had no
children'1. Was he not once a chi!
It has been announced that the
school children are planning a
program for Doc,23, If wo do not
stop up and do our duty, it will
mean the children prepare and
present Christmas for the adults.
This is wrong-- do not let it
happen. If you have a limited
amount, as most of us have, by all
means remember the children FIRST.
There will be a place provided
at the commissary for your dona
tion - REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A
KID. Lets get together and make
this Christmas ft happy community
affair, a real joy to be remember
ed all through the coming year.
