Christmas Party,
Tuesday Evening
A Christmas party, with all the
glamor that can be injected into
it, will be the lot of children in

the Grange hall. Rotarians will
bring their families, guests and
as many children as each mem
ber wishes.
A program of fun has been pre
pared by Lynn Hampton; Micky

other games for the children, and
there will be plenty of candy and

program.
