SANTA COMING?
.... HE’S HERE!!
The most popular man in town
today was jolly ..old St. Nicholas
when he arrived at the Valley
Theatre around three o’clock to
greet more than 600 Valley
youngsters attendng the annual
merchants Christmas party.
As the youngsters began to ar
rive at the theatre shortly after
qne o’clock it soon became evi
dent that the younger population
of Palmer and and vicinity has
increased during the past year.
Every seat in the theatre was tak
en with some of the more hardy
ones sitting on the floor.
A large, beautifully decorated
Christmas tree and the Santa
Claus house drew the eyes of
every child while waiting for the
show to start. Several reels of
comics and cartoons preceded the
' entrance of that popular man.
1 Down the chimney came Santa
and out the door of the Santa
, Claus bouse with a cherry “Hi”
- to all the children. Happiness, de
r light and a little awe were regis
' tered on the faces of the young
sters as they exchanged greetings.
Distributing a bag of goodies to
each child, Santa was kept busy
for nearly an hour. Assisting
were his helpers, members of the
Palmer Moose Lodge.
Following the party the major
ity of the children returned to
school for dismissal in time to
get their bus rides home.
Merchants expressed their plea
sure and thanks to the Women of
the Moose, Moose Lodge, Palmer
school teachers and all who help
ed make the party such a. big suc
cess.

Christmas, the long awaited happy* day is almost here. We have
all been looking forward eagerly to this occasion of joy, peace
and goodwill. To each of us Christmas has a special meaning . . .
we like to celebrate it in our own way with our family or friends.
The true,Christmas spirit is unselfish. We give gifts at Christmas
time for the joy and happiness that it bring to others and in return
we add to our own happiness. There is no light like the light in
children's eyes on Christmas when they first see the toys that
Santa has brought. Santa is/a symbol of happines to children.
We, even as adults, still have a soft spot in our hearts for
the jolly old saint who meant so much to us in our childhood.
Let us all celebrate Christmas with joy, revenence and thankful
ness that we in this wonderful country of |Ours are free to celebrate
it as we wish. Let's carry the Christmas spirit with us throughout
the coming year with a prayer for peace and freedom for the
whole world.
This Christmas greeting comes to you with the sincere good wishes of
the friendy business 'firms and individuals whose names appear on this
page. They thank you for your loyal patronage and wish the best for you
and yours this Holiday Season and the New Year to come.
