COMMUNITY SERVICE HOLDS
CHRISTMAS TREE FOR KIDDIES
Community service a few years ago
was a tiling unheard of. It is a child
of the war and a blessed offspring of
the War Camp Community Service.
If the Red Cross is the “Greatest
Mother,” then Community Service can
be styled as the ‘.Greatest Father,”
for it is the head of the House of
Love; it serves and works for, and
bands together the great human fam
ily. This was manifest on Christma3
day at Columbia Hall, 2420 I,ake St.,
when some 300 little ones and friends
gathered about, a beautifully deco
rated tree singing carols.
After an interesting Christmas pro
gram was rendered by the members
of the Girls' Community Service
League, jolly old Santa Claus put. in
his appearance and made each and
every one happy by distributing boxes
of candy, assorted nuts, oranges and
other gifts.
The affair was conducted bv Mr. W.
C. Moten. Miss Frankie B. Watkins,
directors of community work, and Mrs.
.1. H. Moss, local assistant. The tree
was donated by Trimble Bros., deco
rations by the Burgess-Nasli Stores,
nuts by Hayden Bros., candy by Bran
dels. and lights by the Nebraska Pow
er company, through the courtesy of
Mayor Smith.
Cash donations were given by Mr.
S. S. Caldwell, the N. A. A. C. P„ and
many other friends.
On Christmas eve a group of the
Community Service Girls remembered
the old people at the home, by carry
ing a small tree, beautifully deco
rated to that Institution, and present
ing each one with a small token. The
old people seemed happily surprised.
