CHRISTMAS TREE IN ALPINE
Some one may ask; “What is a
Community Christmas Tree?" It is
a Christmas Tree prepared by aU the
people for aH the people. Cleveland,
Ohio. lays claim to the first of these
community celebrations, but her
example has been followed by cities,
towns, and villages, from coast to
Only five years have elapsed
since the birth of the Community
Christmas Tree idea, yet it has al-
ready developed into a national
feature. Last year more than a
thousand places adopted it, develop-
ing it to suit their own particular
needs.
Its universal message and chief
import is the spreading of the jo-pel
of the true brotherhood of man.
The ideal Community Christmas
Tree is a tall, stately pine, gloriously
illuminated, set in the midst of a
community contributes time, money,
or talent toward making the tree
resplendent, and the program pleas-
urable. As many as possible learn
Christmas carols and assist the
special music committee in making
the occasion a veritable song festi-
val. The tree should be illuminated
every night during Christmas week,
and the community should turn out
en masse to sing and exchange greet-
ings around it.
Let’s have a Community Christmas
Tree in Alpine this year. We do not
know that another Christmas will
find us all here, so let’s make this one
a green spot in our memories. Let’s
make this one a glorious Christmas
for our little folks, our big boys and
girls, and our old folks.
There is going to he a community
gathering at the School Auditorium,
Monday. Nov. 12th. at 8 p. tn. Every
one interested in a Community
Christmas Tree for Alpine, he there
promptly and we shall get busy while
there is time to do the thing right.
