Merchants have had their windows gay with holiday trimmings for some tune. More homes than ever before are lighted and every day one or more are added to the grow ing number, all adding a great deal to the appearance and holi day spirit. The street department, head ed by C. E. Mason and Art Ib-dge, assisted by Police Chief Ron Meacham decorated a tree at the south end of the bridge near First and Broadway. It was decided to use this living tree this year rather than put one up in the middle of the street. Residents always look forward to this brightly lighted tree which sets the pace for the season.
