The Community Christmas Tree which was held on the public square Christmas Eve went over with a bang and hundreds of children were made happy as well as the numerous “grown-ups” who shared in the festive occasion.
The climax came when a bugle sounded and Santa Claus mounted on a big sled piled high with gifts and drawn by four fiery steeds, said steeds being four mules of uncertain disposition, appeared on the scene and with his assistants distributed a gift to every child present. Those children who were unable to be present were sent gifts later by the committee in charge of it.

With appropriate stage decorations, the program was a true experience in music, warmly received, as the community entered the remaining few days of the holiday season.
