"We thought wo were dolnu pretty well here until the stor age building we had beside our house lust exploded.

Gardners Men's STORE OF PERSONAL SERVICE Holiday Greetings To Feature Art Of School Children Next week's edition of the Gazette-Times will be the Christmas greeting Issue, and this year it will feature art work done by lleppner school children under the instruction of Miss Terry Llncecum, art teacher. The paper will use many drawings by the school child ren In merchant-sponsored greetings. Art pupils from the first grade through high school have participated In drawing their interpretations of Christmas. Many business firms Inserting greetings will use the drawings of the child ren to express their senti ments of the season to the public. Names of the children will be used in the displays to gether with names of the sponsoring merchants. It Is felt that this will add considerable reader Interest to the Christmas greetings, and at the same time gives the opportunity for the public to see some of the work the children are doing. Because of the large num ber taking art In the schools, not all of the pictures drawn can be used. Miss Llncecum will write an article for next week's pa per to explain the work being done In the art classes. Installation of the new Fair child Cadet photo-engraving machine at the Gazette-Times makes It possible to use the locally drawn pictures. Businesses which have not already been contacted for greetings and who would like to sponsor drawings of the children are Invited to call Spike Pardee of the Gazette Times staff (676-9228), and he will bring the selection to them.
