A "GREEN" CHRISTMAS
Some of the old-timers are worried this week, thinking
that La Grande will have a "black" Christmas. But we hasten
to assure -them, as we look around and note new grass,, rich .
fields of wheat, etc., it will be a

time immemorial, signifies the
shackling of bonds, the signal or a better luture.
Yes let's civil it a "green" Christmas, and forget that
worrisome stuff about "black" Christmas and what ,it is
supposed to portend. :
A WORTHWHILE OBSERVANCE
' The La 'Grandehotel this year is inaugurating a . hew
type of Christmas -observance for: this city, a program of
community songs and carols in the hotel lobby from 4:30
to 5:30 Sunday afternoon.' A splendid program has been
arranged, and a cordial invitation extended to the entire
community to participate the, lobby will hold one thousand,
the management says. ,
- It is to be hoped that La Grande responds, and its people
join their voices in a songful hour as the Yuletide ',d.raws
near. It is things like that that more closely knit good
fellowship; and it is a wonderful opj)ortunity for one to
join his fellow townsmen in musical tribute to the Christ,'
