Show VANDALS DESTROY CHRISTMAS decorations one of the most despicable dispi cable tricks ever pulled off in this community was perpetrated christmas eve when vandals destroyed the outside christmas decorations at the paxton hotel mr paxton had spent considerable time and money in decorating an evergreen tree on the hotel premises and erecting a santa claus near the tree er it was a very creditable display but during the night vandals destroyed the santa claus by tearing it to pieces and scattering it about the streets and they also tore the lights off the tree and stole most of the light globes similar complaints have come to us from other people who claim to 0 have had the same thing happen to their decorations although not on such a big scale jt it is too bad that the individuals who do this cant be apprehended as the same sort of thing happens each christmas season it is not very encouraging for citizens to spend time and money for such things only to have them destroyed |
