mas party with a large gathering
on hand.
After business meetings Harold
Bowerman of the Redwood Ranger
Station entertained with moving
pictures entitled “Prelude to War”
and “Timber to Tokio. The pic

wish that every person in the
United States could see them.
After the pictures a group of
singers entertained with Christ
mas carols to the delight of all
present. The Ladies of the Aux
iliary then served a tasty lunch.
