4 New Creation
You and all your friends are invited to visit Edwards Park during
Christmas week, and there you will be carried in thought to the Gates of
Jerusalem by surrounding scenes.
Never before in the history of the world will so many hearts beat as
one in the joyous thought that Peace on Earth and Good Will toward Men
is being fulfilled.
A conception of the three wise men will be seen in Edwards Park all
next week—visit the park often.
A tree, in all its glory, flooded with electric lights, will well be worth
your time to go and see. Take the children, it you have any, if not borrow
your neighbor's children. This is a chiidrens' entertainment.
Everything free. The Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company will do
all in their power to contribute to the success of the entertainment, as they
always do when Happy Christmas times are near.
—THE CIVIC COMMITTEE.
Program Given by
Ladies' Music Club
The Oklahoman of this morning
speaks in the following high terms
of the program given in that city
Saturday by the Norman Ladies'
Music Club::
The program presented by the
ladies' Music club of Norman Sat-
urday afternoon in the Temple
B'Nai Israel before the members of
the Ladies' Music Club of Oklaho-
ma City was happily selected and
exceedingly well presented.
The program opened with a vi-
olin quartette, "Gypsy Dance" by
Bohm and the prelude from "Lo-
hengrin" played by Miss Louise
Eldredge, Mrs. Merle Newby But-
tram, Miss Frances Buchanan and
Oscar Lehrer with rare discrimina-
tion in tone value. The group of
childhood songs composed by Mrs.
Katherine Bc-ker Seawell, a mem-
ber of the Norman club and sung
by Mrs. Lou Bennett Dietz, mez-
zo-soprano, was a revelation of the
artistry of the singer and tho com-
poser. Such familiar rhymes as
"Little Boy Blue," "Sleepy-land
Hovers" and thc "Bye Baby Bun-
ting" were set to music that ex-
pressed all the whimsicality of
childhood.
The outstanding feature of the
program was the playing of Franz 1
Kuschan, who proved himself a
master of the 'cello and whoso
numbers, "Romance sans Paroles"
(Van Goens), "Danish Song"
(Sandby) "At the Fountain" by1
Davidoff, "I>ove's Wooing" (Beck- 1

Local Bureaus to He Or-
ganized in Oklahoma to
Assist thc Soldiers
Oklahoma City, Okla., Dec. 16—
(Special)--There is nothing too
good for returning soldiers and
sailors, declares Uncle Sam, in his
instructions to the Oklahoma State
Council of Defense. The state
council is laying plans for the task
of placing demobilized troops in
useful occupations, the best that
they arc able to fill. To accom-
plish this the service of the county
councils of defense will be added
to those of the labor community
boards and central and divisional
bureaus to be established for re-
turning soldiers and sailors by the
United States department of la-
bor.
Returning war workers will al-
so be looked after While design-
ed primarily for soldiers and
sailors, in many communities the
bureau will care also for those civ-
ilians who have left their peacc
time jobs to take positions with
concerns engaged in doing war
work. In many places tho facilities
of the Employment Service are
sufficient in themselves to care
for the civilian workers; in other
places it may become a communi-
ty necessity that the Central Bu-
reau should be for soldiers and
sailors and war workers so as to
assistance to civilians who

Many Norman young people at-
tended and all were greatly pleased
with their evening's entertainment.

Call of the Red Cross
(Editorial.)
The annual Christmas drive for
membership in the American Red
Cross began this morning and the
campaign will continue during the
week.
The simple announcement of this
fact is al! that will be necessary to
bring a willing response from Nor-
man and Cleveland county. A
year ago this city and county i
gave heartily and willingly to this j
great cause, a large number of j
membership being secured, but
they should exceed the number this
year, because within the past
twelve months the Red Cross has
all the more endeared itself to ev-
ery patriotic heart in America.
The committees in charge of the
campaign, headed by Chairman J.
M. Moomau, are at work today, and ■
Chairman Edwin DeBarr, of the
Norman district, has his captains
and workers, active and earnest.
The Transcript regrets to hear
of the serious illness of its old
friend. Mr. J. W. Cook, father of
Mrs. I. M. Jackson and Mrs Ira

daughter, Mrs Wheeler, on

nique and beautiful tones.
A group of soprano numbers,
"The Bitterness of Love" (Dunn),
"Wake Up" (Phillips), '"Ecstasy"
by Rummel and "Air de Salome"
from "Herodiade" by Massent,
were sung by Miss Alberta Bragg
with skill and expression. Mrs. E.
E. Dungan acted as accompanist
throughout the program to which
she added no small amount of plea- J

Mrs. Edmund S. Ferguson was
assisted in receiving the guests of
the afternoon by Mrs. Rollin E. i

the active membership, and Mrs.
