Alohas Have Merry
Christmas Party
What was probably one of the mer
riest Christmas parties of the holiday
season was sponsored last night by
the Aloha club at the Maccabee hall.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with evergreens and mistletoe. The
center of attraction was a huge
Christmas tree, Bparkllng with hund
reds of tiny lights, and having en
twiried among its branches, a gift for
ep.ch member of the club. A bluff and
Jolly Santa Claus, who when com
pelled to doff his long whiskers,
proved to be C. L. Stoddard, dis
tributed the gifts with appropriate
remarks, the gifts themselves caus
ing much merriment. Favor dances
were enjoyed and during one candy
canes were given to each couple.
Xmas Festival Is
To be Elaborate
Great preparations are being made
by the Helnllne-Moore Conservatory
for their Christmas festival tonight
at the armory and according to
those who have been fortunato
enough to watch the kiddles and the
grown-ups rehearsing, an entertain
ment at once clever and unique will
be presented. The festival is by far
the most ambitious offering of the
conservatory thus far, and the pro
gress that their Kindergarten and
Physical Education classes have
made within the past year will be
noted with interest. The piano pu
pils will not be presented at this
time, but will give a program at the
conservatory later in the year. The
kindergarten classes will give rytnm
songs and drlllB, and the children In
the kindergarten classes will also
have solo and couple dances. The
adult Physical Education class will
also dance. Each dance will be giv
en in costume. Christmas decorations
have made the armory a bower of
beauty and Santa Claus will give
eatch member of the kindergarten
classes a gift from the tree.
A large number ot tickets have
been sold, insuring a good attend
ance, but those who have not pur
chased the tickets may buy single
admissions at the door. The Physi
cal Education department Is under
the supervision of Helen Ford Tur
ner and the kindergarten is under
Mrs. Arthur Knauss. Mrs. Francis
Dlllard will accompany all numbers
on the piano, assisted by Gordon
Stewart on the violin. The costuming
is also under the supervision of Mrs.
Turner.

TWO CASES ARE FOUND
Wood and Food Furnished to Faultily
Where llotli Were Lacklmr
Atgwl Man and Woman Are
Given Assistance.
In the outskirts of Roseburg, on
Sunday there was found a widowed
mother with two small children.
Huddled together they were with
torn and pitifully thin blankets
wrapped around their shivering
bodies. On the shelves was scarcely
enough food for more than one scant
meal. Tho house was cold and there
was no wood for a fire. Their plight
is not exaggerated. They were in
the last stages of poverty and for
months have labored to keep them
selves In food and warmth, nghtlng
a losing game against the forces of
destitution.
Wtthin a mile of the post office of
the city there is another family, con
sisting of only two persons. One is
an old lady, past the 70th milestone,
paralyzed, helpless. The other is her
husband, a few years older, feeble
and ill, but In spite of all this he has
remained at the bedside of his aged
wife, ministering to her needs, many
limes hungry for lack of food, with
out funds, short of fuel, and with no
comforts he has fought on to make
the closing years of his mate as
happy as the days of their early
courtship years ago.
These are only two cases that have
come to the attention of the charity
committee of the Elks' lodge, which
is striving to carry the Christmas
message of cheer into the destitute
homes ot the county. Fortunately
there are few of these cases. In fact
the committee is afraid from the
small number reported that someone
will be missed. These two cases of
destitution have been helped. The
committee did not watt until Christ
mas, but as soon as the condition of
the widow and her children was
learned a load of wood was sent with
in an hour, and a warm fire, the first
for days, brought comfort and cheer
to Ihe hearts of the mother and the
little ones. The wood was followed
by food and clothing, and needful
comforts will be provided.
The case of the aged man and
woman was given immediate aid. Sev
eral individuals, the congregation of
local church, and others have re
sponded to this plea for help and the
Elks' committee will not act In this
measure except to see that there is
nothing lacking and in the event that
there is any comfort which can be
supplied it will be furnished.
Another case in the south end of
the county has been reported, fortu
nately not so severe as those report
ed, but still one where aid is re
quired and will be given.
There are possibly other cases.
The committee desires to get in touch
with all such cases as quickly as
possible. Anyone knowing of any
case of destitution or suffering,
where clothing, food, or fuel Is need
ed, or where children are being left
without the pleasures of the Joyful
Christmas time, is asked to telephone
or write to J. E. Pelton, Ttoseburg,
Oregon, chairman of the Elks' char
ity committee and the men represent
ing that order will see that there is
no lack of Christmas joy. While we
ire remembering the little ones of
Europe, let us not forget the suffer
ing at home.
STIIOOIaH CLOSE TOMOMtOW
Schools in the city will close to
morrow for the annual Christmas
vacation. The pupils will be given a
two week's vacation, and school will
again convene on January i. Pro
grams will he given In practically
all of the schools tomorrow to cele
brate the Christmas time.
