On The Christmas Scene In Bingham Holiday merriment, glowing Christmas trees, preparations for seasonal entertainment and ar-rival of Santa Claus were all part of the scene of Christmas week in Bingham Canyon.

Each window of the front rooms has a large wreath of holly, prime evidence of the Christmas spirit. Diorama of Christmas scenes, one of Santa descending by para-chute from a plane "Just drop-ped in to say a Merry Christmas"; one of Christmas carolers, one of children enjoying winter sports and one of a Christmas hearthside family scene, all the work of Paul Kuhni, fill the front many-pane- d window at the hos-pital. The beautiful large drawing of the nativity at Bingham high school, the first thing to be seen on entering the building, was al-so the work of Mr. Kuhni.
