TREATS FOG CHILDREN Program Will Start 7 O’clock Sharp Stated At Vernonia’s first community Christmas tree celebration for ail the kiddies will start promptly nt 7 p. m., according to those in charge of festivities. It will be held tonight at the place where the mammoth 30-foot tree has been erected on Bridge street near the depot. In case of inclement weather the old store building formerly occu pied by the Gordon Furniture com pany will be csed by Santa Claus for the distribution of treats for the kiddies. Santa Claus? Most assuredly. The jovial old fellow has promised to be present, even though he is very busy so near to Christmas. Treats? It is said that he will bring enough co delight the hearts of 1000 kiddies, and extends an invitation to all of them to come together at this time and enjoy the great Christmas tree erected by local citizens to supply color to the reception of the grand old man. It has been announced that the band will start festivities with a few numbers. Mac’s band receiv ed considerable praise for ■ their concert given two weeks ago at the Majestic theatre, and their presence at this function will un doubtedly drew many of the older folks to hear them. The girls glee club of the high school have promised to sing a few numbers appropriate for the occasion. Many in Vernonia have not heard them sing yet, and their work is expected to be creditable to the able instruction of Mrs. Frank Shinn, their director. Many donations have been re- ecived for the Christmas tree fund by J. C. Lindley. In fact, it is believed that the few expenses will be easily met, with perhaps a lit tle surplus, because practically ev- everything has been donated by mer chants and others in the city. A list of all donations of whatever nature will be published in the Eagle next week. The bigger the crowd, the better the time, according to the commit tee on arrangements. No need of the kiddies getting wet if it rains, as there will be ample protection indoors nearby. Santa hus asked for 1000 kiddies to be present. It should not be difficult to fill the quota if every Vernonia child >■ there. Band Picture Taken. On Sunday morning Mac's band and orchestra had their pictures taken by Herb.
