Y Nov. 23-hVP-This year the traditional Christ mas tree will be an international affair for many American and Eu ropean towns. Led by the example of Larchmont, New ; York, and its adopted town of Abbeville, France, many communities active in over seas town affiliation programs plan to set up ' "International Friendship Trees" decorated with holiday greeting cards from their friends overseas. The idea originated when Larch mont's citizens started wondering how they could best celebrate the first Christmas of their affiliation with their French sister town 3,000 miles away. The plan developed, called "The Larchmont Friendship Tree for Abbeville," is for a mu tual exchange of holiday greeting cards i between .the citizens of the two towns. At a Christmas-time ceremony, these cards will then be taped on the branches of com munity Christmas trees in both the American and French towns. Announcement of the plan by Larchmont has prompted many other communities affiliated with towns overseas to adopt the "Friendship Tree." Wichita, Kan- "fsas, which has been actively affi liated with Orleans, France, for the last several years, is already working closely with its French friends on this program, and is ex pecting to draw some twenty other Kansas communities into the plan. Larchmont s interest in an over seas affiliation began with the con tribution of several truckloads of food to the Friendship Train. After this, a group of Larchmont citi zens who had been active in the collection though, . "Why stop here?" Result was their "adoption" of Abbeville lstst December through the Aid of Operation De mocracy, a non-profit organization which has been coordinating the several hundred town - to - town programs.
