The department Is not stopping I with the Christmas tre celebration, however, and have further takenlt up- Ioa themselves to assist Santa Claus In seeing that every child in town Is I remembered with toys. Accordingly they ask that all people of the city hiring toys whiten may be slightly damaged and could, with a small amount of repairing, painting, etc. be made presentable, will bring them to the Elsmore barber shop. There Is to doubt that in many homes where Santa was most generous last year many of the toys could easily be re paired to bring Joy to other children I leu (ourtunate this year. Inasmuch las there remains less than a month before Christmas the people are urg ed to bring the toys in early. The fire laddies are to be commended commen-ded for both clans ann deserve the wholehearted support of the entire community In carrying them out. A Community Christmas tree is a new feature of Christmas celebrations In this city and should prove most successful. suc-cessful.
