Story .Behind A Glistening Christmas Tree Passersby who view the beauti ful tree in the showrooms of the Valley Motor company this year may see it only as a lovely decor ated tree, with a shimmering gown of metallic snow. But some of the brilliance is in truth, a reflection of the beauty of spirit which typifies the human heart and finds escape during this most cherished of all holiday sea sons. The large tree is the gift of a kindly couple who wanted to-give happiness and cheer to many many of their neighbors. Here is the tree's story: For many years Mr. and Mrs. George A. Raymond had cared for a tree on their lawn, but it had grown out of its allotted bounds. Mr. Raymond, who is ilL finds his greatest pleasure in watching traf fic in the busy street on which they live, but the tree was slowly shutting off his view. Sentiment would not allow them to cut the tree and merely discard it they wanted it to give pleas ure to someone. Calling the Val ley Motor company, they offered the fir for the firm's annual Christmas tree. And now the tree stands, deck ed in hundreds of packages of glis tening foil a tribute to the very thoughtful couple. Mrs. Taylor Hawkins Is leaving today for Silverton to spend the holidays with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. William Duncan. Everything for Your Window mm be THE BLIND MAN !
