The program decided upon is ns
follows: -j
AFTERNOON PROGRAM

children.
Address—John F. Egan.
Song—America.

The Salvation Army has given
out over one "hundred tickets so
far but they want everybody in
Sapuipa who needs one to have
a Christmas basket loaded w.th
all the good things of the seas
on, including good wishes and
hope of better things to come.
Capt. Thronburg, however, has
some more baskets or can fill
some more if any others who
need them are known to any cit-
izen of Sapuipa.
If you know a family that will
have a slim Christmas dinner
unless somebody helps call Capt.
Thronberg or his wife and tell
them about it. Let’s see to it
that everybody in Sapuipa has a
fine Christmas dinner this year.
