There was an important meeting of the board of the Winter Park Golf Club Monday afternoon which was attended by W.C. Temple, President of the Club, C.H. Morse, Vice- President; E. W. Packard, N. Follett, Directors; F.W. Shepherd, Secretary and Treasurer and Dow S. George, Assistant Secretary and Professional. Many things were discussed and arranged for this season. They found that the par for the long course was seventy-three. The bogy was taken up hole by hole and fixed at eighty. They also fixed the local rules on each hole, defining boundaries and out-of-bounds plays. They decided on the rates for caddying this year which will be 25 cents for single round on the short course, 40 cents for two rounds on the short course, and 50 cents a round for the eighteen hole course. They also adopted a resolution that no shoes could be worn on the links, “except those with a flat, flexible sole, without heels, and without projections or indentations of any kind whatever.” It was found last year that it was impossible to keep the putting greens in perfect shape even though they were fixed up twice every day when the use was permitted of shoes that had heels or cleets or spikes or hobnails, or projections of any kind, and it was also found that the use of rubber soles in which there were little cup-shaped indentations marred the greens dreadfully, and as this course is now one of the finest in the United States and will be liberally patronized by the keenest of golfers every effort is going to be made to keep not only the fareway, but the putting green constantly in a condition as near perfection as possible. Mr. Dow S. George, the professional, is already here and he has brought an expert club-maker with him, and will shortly have another professional here to assist him in giving instructions to those desiring to improve their game. A man who for five years has been a caddy master and starter for one of the best clubs in America has been engaged and ordered to report at once to take entire charge of the caddies and tickets. He will be stationed at the club house and will remain there constantly so that there will be no delay in getting players started immediately on their arrival at the course, as he will not only furnish the caddies and tickets, but will also have a supply of balls at his station. Season tickets will of course be furnished as heretofore by either the secretary, Mr. F. W. Shepherd, the professional, Mr. Dow S. George, and both of the hotels, The New Seminole and The Inn, but daily tickets will only be on sale at the club house by the starter. Lockers are already being taken up rapidly and a number of new ones have been ordered to supply the increased demand. The charge for lockers is 25 cents a day, $1.00 a wee , or $5.00 for the season. Daily golf tickets, good only on the day issued, are $1.00 each, and season tickets good on both courses are $25, each, and are limited to two hundred; and it is the intention when the two hundred season tickets are issued to discontinue any further sale of daily tickets as it is not the desire or intention of the golf club to congest the links uncomfortably at any time, preferring rather the comfort and convenience of the annual members to mere financial income.

WILL BE PAVED EIGHTEEN FEET WIDE: Town Agrees To Stand Its Share of the Expense On Project. – Cost of Road Will Be $5,000 Work On Curbing Started Tuesday Morning. Webster Avenue from the County road to the New Seminole Hotel will be paved eighteen feet wide. The cost of this work will be $5,000. C.H. Morse and B.E. Edwards will pay $4,500 of the amount and the town of Winter Park will pay $500. The town will make this payment because it is a property owner, inasmuch as it owns the public park which borers on part of this roadway. Seventeen hundred feet of road will be ayed . Regular concrete curbing will be put in. The workmen started on Tuesday morning laying the curbing. It will take them one week to complete this work. The paving of Interlachen Avenue will be completed before the paving of Webster Avenue is begun. It will take about one month more to finish up Interlachen Avenue.

PETITION OUT TO STOP ERECTION OF TOWN HALL: The Foundation Has Already Been Laid and Injunction to be Vigorously Contested. A petition has been circulated in Winter Park to Prevent the new town hall and jail being erected in the park, and it is said that an injunction will be gotten out to stop work on the building, if the petition is not favorably met. Holdorf & Kummer began putting in the cement foundation for the building Thursday morning and are endeavoring to get it all put in before any injunction is served so that the cement can be hardening whiie the injunction is being fought. The majority of those who signed the petition had for their reason that they did not wish to see a building erected in the public park. They believe that the park is not the place for the building. When the matter of selecting a proper location for the town hall first was discussed two residents of Winter Park offered to donate lots for the building, but in each instance the residents living near the lots objected saying that they thought a jail so near by would not be desirable. The town then took the W.C.T.U. here and offered to build the town hall on their lot on East Park Avenue and give them quarters in it, which they promised, would be better than the ones they now have, but this did not meet with their approval and so the town then decided to erect the building in the park. That the injunction will be fought, if it is gotten out, seems to be certainty. Mayor Temple was asked what he thought about the matter and he answered that he favored putting the town hall in the park as he thought it the most desirable location for building of that kind, a building which was to be devoted to public use. EXPERT WANTS TO SHOW US: Value of Sand Asphalt Roads by Demonstration Strip. – President of Construction Company Says Tax Payers’ Money Was Waisted. Mr. Spencer, of New York, President of the construction company, who is putting down all the sand asphalt roads in Lake County was a visitor in Winter Park Tuesday in order to arrange if possible to put down a demonstration strip of sand asphalt roadway in Winter Park. Mr. Spencer has been in correspondence with Clarence E. Woods, of the Eustis Lake Region, and by the nature of this corsespondence was led to believe that Winter Park was about the one locality in Orange County not too hide-bound in its prejudices to accept gold dollars for fifty cent pieces; and as he deems it of vital importance to demoustrate to the tax payers of Orange County that several hundred thousand dollars of their good money has been wilfully waisted, he thinks he would like to select Winter Park as the demonstration ground for this purpose. BRIGHTER LIGHTS AT THE DEPOT Mayer Temple has brought to the attention of the city council the fact that our depot is very poorly lighted saying that “when people get off the trains at night the lights are so dim that that it is almost impossible for them to see anything.” Mr. Temple suggested that the town install more powerful lights in the depot and place them on a separate switch so that the agent or a porter from The Seminole Hotel meeting the night trains could turn on the lights just before the train arrives and turn them off again before leaving the station. The cost of the current for these lights, which will rnn the whole length of the umbrella shed in the depot, will not exceed four dollars a month. It was suggested that the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad be asked to meet this expense. “what is three or four dollars a month to them” said Arthur Schultz, “when they get over a hundred thousand dollars out of this town every year!” Mayor Temple was appointed a committee of one to communicate with the Atlantic Coast Line people and see what they would do. PROMINENT MAN SEEKS LOCATION The following letter, received by H.A. Ward from Richard H. Edmonds, Editor and General Manager of the Manufacturers Record, one of the most important publications in this country, gives an idea of the kind of people who wish to come to Winter Park and what they want. Baltimore, Nov. 29, 1915. Mr. H. A. Ward, Winter Park, Fla. Dear Sir: Will you kindly advise me whether there is for rent in Winter Park a first-class, steam or furnace heated, furnished house with all modern improvements? I am looking for a house with not less than four good bedrooms two bathrooms on the second floor, and two good rooms for servants on the third floor. The house, of course, would have to be in thorough condition in every respect; not previously occupied by any one having a communicable disease; electric lighted, and with ample room. A friend of mine who spends the winter in your town has been urging me to select Winter Park for the winter rather than other parts of the State, which I have usually visited. Hence, this inquiry for information. Very truly yours, Richard H. Edmonds.

RECEPTION AT “PINE NEEDLES.” On Thursday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Harley Gibbs opened their beautiful new home, “Pine Needles” on Lake Osceola with an informal reception to the Ladies Auxiliary of All Saints Parish. The spacious living room opening into the dining room on one side and a reception room on the other, forms an ideal setting for entertaining. The rooms are finished in soft tones, both as to the wood stain and the upholstery, a lovely mauve shade predominating in the color scheme of the draperies and cushions, the Persian rugs on the floor striking the same note of softly blended tints. “Pine Needles” is on the site of the Old Seminole Hotel, that hostlery that made Winter Park famous a generation ago, and its windows command a fine view of Lake Osceola, which is enhanced by the effective landscape gardening which is making it one of the most attractive estates in this place. Bishop and Mrs. Cameron Mann, of Orlando, received with Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs, while Mrs. Nathan Follett and Miss Litch presided at the beautifully appointed tea table. Among the guests were Dr. J. G. Litch, Dr. and Mrs. C. R. Switzer, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Morse, Mr. and Mrs. N. Follett, Mr. J. C. Nicoll, Mr. John Nicoll, Dr. and Mrs. Ben Freer, Dr. and Mrs. Federic Cushman, Prof. and Mrs. Hiram Powers, Prof. and Mrs. Erik Palmer, Mrs. D.

List, Dr. Edmund Hyde, Mr. Douglass Street, and the Misses Knox, Nicoll, Litch, Brebner, Merriweather, Hayes, Clark, Collins, and Smith of Evanston, Ills. Y.W.C.A. BAZAAR The Y.W.C.A. Bazaar on Monday afternoon proved to be one of the prettiest and most successful ever held. The Lyman Gymnasium was lined with booths in which flowers was lined with booths in which flowers, candy, Japanese novelties, fancy articles and cakes and ices. Vied with each other in tempting array. An artists studio in which silhouettes and pen and ink portraits were made at a moments notice, and a pastime tellers tent, added to the gravety of the scene while a moving picture side show ran a continuous performance and drew a large audience. Barkers cried the merits of the various booths and white aproned waitresses ran to and fro serving appetizing dishes to the guests who came to supper. Dominating the scene was a “Parcel Post Christmas Tree” gay with red streamers of ribbon and popcorn festoons. For a trifling sum one could choose a package from the tree, and some rare and amusing purchases were made in this mysterious fashion of “hit or miss” buying. There were many cosy little supper parties. Among those from town who attended and had supper were Mr. and Mrs. Siewert and their family, Dr. and Mrs. Coffin and Mrs. Lenfest, Mrs. Barbour with her daughters, Mrs. Tousey, Mrs. C. L. Smith, Mr. J. C. Nicoll, Mrs. Trovillion, Misses Enlow, Barze, Oliver and Allen. The young ladies report a substantial sum realized from the bazaar toward their fund for the little Cuban waif Amparo. Elect Officers At the recent business meeting of the band men of Winter Park Victor Collier was elected Leader and Ray Trovillion was Secretary ane Treasurer. The members voted to make monthly payment of dues into the treasury so to make possible the purchase of new music. It is the intention of the bandmen to give regular concerts in Winter Park later on after they have gotten sufficiently in practice. They will make an attempt to secure the financial support of the town so as to enable them to secure the services at times of some of the Orlando musicians who will not play unless they receive some compensation. Should they receive this support, the concert will be given exclusively in Winter Park. [Advertisement] Field & Co., ICE CREAM AND CONFECTIONARY. Lunches Served at All Hours.

Orlando, Florida 206 Boone St. AT ROLLINS COLLEGE: The Day’s Work and the Day’s Fun EDITED BY A.D. ENYART, DEAN OF ROLLINS COLLEGE The regular weekly college vesper service, which was held Sunday afternoon at 4:30 was one of unusual interest, and was well attended by both students and townspeople; several cars brought people from Orlando also. The talk of the afternoon, which was preceded by an inspiring prelude by Miss Isabelle E. Denison, was given by Dr. Thomas R. McConnell, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Orlando. Dr. McConnell has only recently taken up his pastorate in Orlando and this was his first appearance in winter Park. His subject of the afternoon, “Love,” was hen lled in an exceptionally interesting manner, provoked much spiritual thought, and was followed with close attention by all. The vespers are proving to be one of the most popular feature of the college life, and each service seems to be an improvement over the one just past. Christmas Bazaar. The annual Christmas Bazaar, held by the Young Women’s Christian Association for the purpose of raising a sum of money with which to educate a poor Cuban child in West Tampa, took place Monday afternoon and part of the evening, the hours being from 3:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The Lyman Gymnasium, in which the bazaar was held, was fittingly decorated for the occasion; booths of all descriptions and containing all manner of articles from parcel post mystery packages to artistic fancy work creations, lined the sides of the immense room, and in the center stood a beautiful Christmas tree with conventional hangings. The articles on sale Were mostly the work of the young women residing in Cloverleaf Cottage, and the display was a splendid testimonial of their industry and zealous Christian ideals. Refreshments of all kinds of home-candy, cake nuts and ice cream were on sale, and at six o’clock a light salad course was served. Unique entertainment of a varied character was also given. A picture show, depicting the troubles of Romeo and Juliet, with several operatic selections interspersed, was one of the most attractive forms in this lien. This room was under the management of Miss Anne Bellows, Instructor in English, and those taking part in the show were Misses Gertrude Hall and Vivian Barbour, and Messrs. Randolph Lake and Dana Ballard. A telegraph and cable office, a fortune teller, a German professor and bankers for the photograph gallery. parcel post tree, and the numerous tables, added much merriment to the occasion, as well as presenting a scene of unusual gaiety. More than one hundred dollars was realized from the sale and the young women are very much encouraged over their efforts. Sandspur Xmas Number Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. a meeting of the entire editorial staff of the Rollins Sandspur, the oldest student publication in Florida, was held in Carnegie Hall. The purpose of the meeting was to arrange for an enlarged Christmas edition, containing an original Christmas story, for which a prize of $5.00 has been offered by the editors, several Christmas poems, a list of news notes telling where each student is to spend his or her vecation and what is to be done during that time, besides the local happenings of the week augmented by a special alumni column containing an article by President Berkeley Blackman of the Rollins Alumni Association. The editors are working very diligently on this number and it is expected that when it comes from the press next Saturday, their expectations will be adequately realized. PERSONALS J.

The Maltbie bungalow is wired and the lights were turned on for the first time Tuesday evening. All Altamonte is in mourning over the death of the hotel horse “Dixie”, who has drawn the “Dixie Flyer” for many years. Dixie was twenty years old, but was still in fine condition and as willing and gentle and faithful as he was in his younger days. Dixie died of Lockjaw, caused by a splinter which he stuck in his eye. Everybody will miss the horse. He was a great favorite in Altamonte. He liked to draw the tram because he enjoyed the sociability of the people, and sugar and apples which they gave him. The first dance of the season will be given on Christmas night at the Altamonte Hotel. The orchestra from the north will be here a few days before that time. An entertainment in honor of blessed Christmas time will be given at the Union Church on Christmas night, Dec. 21st. Miss Irene Fuller and Mrs. C.S.

The work of decorating it will be done by Mr. E.O. Marshall and Mr. Everett Bates. You are all cordially invited. You’re all welcome, near and far. $2,000,000 For Aeronautic School Pensacola.-Two million dollars is the estimate of money necessary for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1916, for the aeronautic school at Pensacola, and if this amount is expended here the aero station known for a yard will be the scene of more activity than even during the months that it was in operation as a navy station. The amount asked is just double the appropriation of this year, much of which is yet to be expended. All of the appropriation of this year is being expended in preparations and in the purchase of pupil machines. Concrete and steel hangars for the aeroplanes are now being erected and the contract for 118,000 square feet of concrete paving in and about these hangars was awarded. Postoffice Shows Best Increase Jacksonville.-Bearing out the assertions made during the past month or more to the effect that the south, especially Jacksonville and Florida, is undergoing a period of prosperity that reaches to every class of citizenship, the postoffice department has announced that a compilation of the postal figures for November shows that among the 50 largest postoffices of the country Jacksonville’s percentage of increased business was greatest in the United States. According to the Washington announcement, Jacksonville’s postoffice receipts during the month of November surpassed the total business for the same month in the previous year by $$12,540.45 , the month’s business being $65,980.46. Commence Work On Bridge Hastings.-Work has been commenced on the preliminaries in connection with the building of a new bridge across Deep Creek at Byrd. This bridge is on the main county or Dixie highway, about four miles to the southeast of Hastings, and is one of the important bridge structures in St. Johns county. Under former conditions, when traffic was comparatively light, the bridge was sufficiently strong, but under the changed conditions, due to the building of the county highway, it has been found necessary to put in an entirely new bridge. Piling, flooring and other necessary materials are on the ground and operations are to begin at once. Notice. Sealed proposals will be received by the Town of Winter Park, Florida, up to 12 o’clock noon, on Jan. 10, 1916, for the building of cement walks in the said town of Winter Park, Florida, under the inspection of the chairman of street committee specifications. Sidewalks to be 4 inches thick, bottom layer shall be a mixture of 1 part cement, 2 7-10 parts of clean, sharp sand; top dressing to be 1 inch thick and a mixture of 1 part cement and 1 part clean sharp sand, by the square yard, floated and trowled sufficiently to clear all voids. Also for cemen crossings, specifications to be 4 1-2 feet wide with 18 inch approach on each side. Mixture to be 1 part cement, 2 parts sand and 3 parts stone, top dressing 1 inch thick, 1 part cement to 1 part sand. Percy Dale, Clerk. [Advertisement][Photograph] (antique toilet, black and white color grade) American Water Closets have been installed by us in this town fours years ago, at that time we guaranteed them for five years against any defects or mechanisms getting out of order. We could as well have guaranteed them for 25 years as there has never been a call for any repairs since their installation and there never will be any. The Closet is simply perfect. The tank contains nothing, but air which answers as an air cushion, thus making the Closet noiseless, and at the same time preventing any water hammer in pipes which is very annoying all through the house. Where water is being measured through a meter it will save the price of itself in a short time as it is impossible for it to leak or run water only when you operate it. Water closets have been a great source of annoyance to the Plumbing trade, even more so than to the public, and I feel satisfied that a great many of my friends will agree with me on that point, but the American has solved the problem. Come and see it at our show rooms and get our prices and guarantee. F. Joseph Reahn, Corner Grace and Irvine Street, Orlando, FLA.

Official News Articles of the Florida Audubon Society EDITED BY MRS. I. VANDERPOOL, Secretary, Maitland, Fla. If you are a lover of birds, or are interested in any way in animal life, you will find much to interest you in this special feature department of the Winter Park Post. Miss Goodhue Begins Her Work On December 5th Miss Isabel Goodhue began her duties as Field Agent for the Florida Audubon Society and from week to week her progress will be given in the columns for this and other newspapers of the State. She will visit during the five months for which she is engaged about forty of the cities and towns, where after careful consideration the Executive Committee felt her influence would be of benefit in creating renewed interest in some dlaces , and awakening it in orders, where from various causes, such as removal and death of prominent members in times past, interest had ceased. The attractive city of Daytona, the winter home for many years of Mr. George Chamberlein and his wife, both first place on Miss Goodhue’s itinery . We are indebted for the kindness shown Miss Goodhue They made it possible for her to meet the most influential people and though unfortunately there was a meeting prearranged at the Daytona Women’s Club, which prevented Miss Goodhue from speaking there. It is probable that arrangement can be made for her to do so later, as many women expressed a desire to have her lecture and give her admirable bird notes. Miss Goodhue expressed herself as very much pleased with the cordial reception given her by the principals of schools who gave her all the opportunity she desired for talking with their scholars. As a large and active Humane Society had recently been organized it was not thought expedient to form a separate junior society, but the Audubon members and Humane Soci’y* will work harmoniously together. At Miss Goodhue’s request membership card has been sent to Mrs. Freeman, Daytona Beach, a new member, and she has been welcomed to our Society. Literature has also been sent to Professors Wakefield and Pinkerton. From Daytona Miss Goodhue will go to Palatka, then to St. Augustine and from Pecember 13th to 20th she will be in Jacksonville. Dr. and Mrs. Blackman’s* presence there and the cordial welcome given by Mrs. Jennings, President of Federation of Woman’s Clubs, are almost sure tokens of success in the busy metropolis of the South. School Notes from Tampa. We feel encouraged by the interest taken by the teachers of Tampa. Last week’s record of Junior numbers 163. members divided among five classes. Prof. Frank C. Crowe has always taken much interest in bird life, and his school has for several years had intelligent, successful teaching in that most interesting study. Our thanks are also due Dr. H.R. Mills of Tampa, who devotes much time and thought on matters dertaining to bird protection. An excellent article that appeared in the “Outlook” from his pen, will shortly be given in these columns. Winter Park comes in for a share of commendation, Miss Nicolls writes, having obtained permission from Prof. Kirton, Principal of the Public School, to form a Junior Audubon Class. Mrs. H. Gibbs and myself visited the school and enrolled sixty-three names of children who wished to join. Owing to the great difference in ages we have decided to divide the class into two sections, Mrs. Gibbs taking the upper grades and I all the younger ones down stairs. I hope to give the children a lesson every Monday after school, and Mrs. Gibbs is arranging for two lessons a montn for the upper grades. We are both extremely anxious to make this a success and hope the parents will cooperate by encouraging the children to attend. Audubon Society Held an Interesting Meeting. The December meeting of the Cocoanut Grove Audubon Society was held at the home of the president, Mrs. Kirk Munroe and was well attended. The afternoon was delightful and every one enthusiastic. Mrs. Kibourne read two of James Whitcomb Riley’s poems, the “Yellow Hammer” and “Birds.” The meetings are always opened with the reading of some bird poem by this charming reader. Mrs. Wyatt then read a splendidly prepared paper on the “Bird Reservations” of the United States,” which was followed by a delightfully written paper on “Bird Sanctuaries’* and How to Make Them.” This paper was written by Mrs. H.K.B. Davis. treasurer of the society, but as she was called to Colorado some weeks ago to greet a first grandchild, she commissioned her sister, Mrs. John Gifford, to read the paper for her, which Mrs. Gifford did. First giving the following greeting the to Society from her sister-which was received with pleasure and unstinted applause. To the Audubon Society of Cocoanut Grove, a greeting from Mrs. H.K.B. Davis: If I were a bird this Audubon day. I would spread my wings and fly far away, O’er mountains and plains and rivers g lore Until I had reached the Florida shore. And soaring aloft, I’d spy down below The home and the lawn of Mrs. Munroe, I’d swoop right down in the midst of your meeting, Give you a surprise and a hearty greeting. Then after some cake, a chat, and some tea I’d spread my wings and away I would flee, Back again to my home, in Colorado. For there is my grandchild, who needs me much more, Than the Audubon Club of Florida shore. I’m sorry I’m not just a bird, I say, So send you this greeting for Audubon Day. Reports were then read and suggestions for future work made, and the as Mrs. Davis says, “after some cake, a chat, and some tea.” the afternoon came to a close. Mrs. Harlan Trapp and Mrs. W.H. Tower were Mrs. Kirk Munroe’s special guests of the afternoon. Mrs. Munroe announced that these meetings would be held on the first Monday of Each month, and that any one interested in birds were more than welcome. The club membership roll is full now, until the annual meeting in March, but because one is nota member need not keep anyone away. Every member of the society stands ready to welcome anyone wishing to attend. The next meeting will be a bird story, and will be held at the home of Mrs. Kirk Munroe. Information Wanted. The following letter having been received by the Secretary she hopes some of the readers of this column will be able to give the writer the information asked for: Sumner, Fla., 11, 27, 1915. Secretary Audubon Society, Maitland, Fla., Dear Madam: A few days since a flock of nine white pelicans passed over this place coming from due north going south. And this morning I saw another small flock pass near here. This is such an unusual sight that I am writing for information about this bird. I have lived in various places in Florida for the past 22 years and never before have I seen one of these birds in this state’s waters. This place is inland several miles and not far from Cedar Keys and I have never seen one of the common great pelicans this far inland. Any information will be appreciated. Very Truly Yours, A.B.

Ellison Adams. Editor and Proprietor One Year………$1.00 Six Months……($).60 Three Months...($).40 Entered as second-class matter October 21, 1915, at the post office Winter Park, Florida, under the Act of March 3, 1879. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1915 “In the name of Winter Park.” “LASTLY MY BRETHREN.” The following article was sent in to us and as it meets with our sympathy in every respect we take pleasure in letting it speak for us in the editorial columns this week: The Community Christmas Tree has already been commented upon in these pages and now that the time of its debut is almost at hand, the Women’s Club wishes to add its “Lastly my brethren” in the form of various exhortations, the first of which is: Bring your rug and cushion with you and prepare to enjoy the music comfortably seated in the park. You will soon weary of standing and on Christmas Eve we aro going to be one large family sitting around our Christmas tree and letting the old-time wonder and reverence of childhood encompass us once more. The Club especially requests that no one will attempt to enjoy the proceedings from an auto. Those who come in them are urgently requested to park their cars on one of the side streets at least a block away from the tree, and then to descend and be one of the crowd. The reason for this is obvious. The singing of the choruses and the carols of the children will be utterly ruined by the chugging and turning of autos or even the passing of them and this will be investable unless all owners of cars keep them off that part of the avenue where the exercises are held. Be sure to bring your children on the opening night-Christmas Eve. Santa Claus will be waiting for them and very much disappointed if they are not there. The program will not be long, and will begin promptly at seven. The festivities of the tree will begin on Friday evening, Dec. 24th, but will not end when the last kiddie has gone home happy. The following night, Saturday evening, will be taken by the Congregational, Methodist and Episcopal Sunday Schools, who will hold their regular Christmas entertainments around the tree instead of in their respective churches. It is hoped every one will encourage by their presence this splendid Sunday School Rally. On Monday evening, Dec. 27th, the Boy Scouts and Campfire Girls will give us a most interesting and instructive demonstration of their work and worth to the community. Do you know what these organizations stand for and are accomplishing? Come out on Monday evening and get better acquainted with them and their leaders. On Tuesday evening the Orlando-Winter Park Band will make music for us. New Year’s Eve will be the inaugurations of the “Community Sings” originated by the Woman’s Club, and on Saturday night, January 1st, the colored people will have their share of the tree. They promise to give us a very entertaining evening and some goodies for the pickaninnies will not be lacking. This will end the week’s festivities and the career of the community Christmas Tree. The success of it rests entirely with the response it meets, so let everyone come out and do their part towards bringing in the gentle kindly spirit of Yule-Tide.

What memories that one word brings back to the mind of those fortunates who have time for memories. Nowadays in the rush and turmoil of modern life, most of us have only time for dreams. Memories are classed with the other luxuries of the very rich or as the consolation of the poor. And even Christmas itself seems to have the same classification. What has become of all our cherished ideals and the tender sweetness of our childhood beliefs in such things as Christmas? Time was when the heart held sway over our impulses and we could be tender as children are. We looked upon Christmas as a joyful time when we could give vent to our feelings toward our loved ones or to our dearest friends. The man or the woman has missed much indeed who cannot remember a night before Christmas with its mystery and wonder, its watching for Santa Claus, its whispering vigils ending in dreams. One fancies a picture of children asleep, with the firelight flickering on ceiling and wall, the bulging stockings and toys galore and the windows frosting blue to the moonlight outside. Then the joyous screams of delight when in the earliest dawn there comes a scampering of little feet to mother’s bedside to show what has come over the snows in the night. What a day for children and parents alike, what a day for love and delight. Sleigh bells give voice to the harmony of hearts and bring guests and good cheer to the feast. Thanksgiving turkey was splendid and Christmas plum pudding is glorious. But the greatest of all is the tree! What a gust of excitement beyond the closed doors, what tinklings and rustlings and movings within. Then suddenly the doors open and there stands revealed, the tree of Saint Nicholis blazing with light, with tinsel and toys and glittering things which seem to have descended from Heaven itself. With music and dancing the great day ends, but sticks in the memory for years and years, as a picture mellows as Time passes on and which no money could buy. What a pity it is that to so many Christmas has lost its charm. How has it changed form the dear old Christmas of former days? Many will explain that Christmas is costly and that it a useless expense There are many who pride themselves on not giving at Christmas and frequently make the excuse that giving has become vulgar. There is no doubt that some forms of giving are vulgar and reflect on the giver. There is also no doubt that Christmas may be made the occasion for the display of selfishness and the commercial instinct quite as much in the giving as in not giving. But why should Christmas be so changed? Are not the people of this land quite as prosperous now as they have been in former years, and must we hinge the whole matter upon how much we give costs? It is true that in the old times people did not travel so widely as now and therefore had fewer friends to give to, and it is also true that Christmas trees could be procured with an axe and children were satisfied with less than they are today. Not every man can afford to paint for his children the picture that has been painted on this page. But still, the reason for our changed Christmas has not been reached. If an inhabitant of some other planet than ours were to have chanced to be a visitor to our Earth at Christmas fifty years ago and should come to us again at the coming season, he might tell us that our modern celebration of Christ’s birth needed the treatment described in Matthew 21,12. Christmas is holy; it is a temple to the spirit of our Lord and no matter what we give, be it the smallest and cheapest Christmas card or the hand of renewed friendship to one who has ill-treated us, the Spirit of Christmas needs to be behind the gift. If we cannot afford to make gifts let us give ourselves, our time, our efforts, our love and our good cheer. Let us smile until we bring smiles to other faces. Let us have a good old-time Christmas in Winter Park this year. In the memory picture above it was blue and cold outside and warm within. If our Florida Christmas should be warm and sunny outside let us beware of being blue and cold within. We are going to have the tree and we are going to have the youngsters. Let us all join in not only with them, but with one another, in giving vent to a kindly, warm spirit of good will to all. It is needful to renew the old-time spirit lest it die out altogether in these terrible times when whole nations of people are shaking our civilization, and our Christianity is tottering on its foundations for want of the Spirit of Christmas. Celebrating Christmas in Winter Park makes one recall the dilemma of many who find themselves in Australia or in South Africa during that season. It is not easy to think Christmas thoughts of jingling jangling sleigh-bell and glittering snow south of the equator, with the grass withering in the sun and one’s clothing sticking to one’s back. While we have no such conditions to encounter here the green trees and the blossoming flowers of a Winter Park Christmas do not seem to fit in exactly with the ideal created in our minds by juvenile picture books. Christ was born in Bethlehem and the climate of that place is much nearer that of Winter Park than that of New England. So that the first Christmas, the real day, was passed under conditions very much like our own And we may rest assured that the Spirit of Christmas, the spirit of giving, the spirit of forgiveness and above all the great Spirit of Love was there that day. How beautiful would the wondrous Star of Bethlehem have been had it appeared, reflected in a body of water like Osceola. It makes one think, when one beholds the glittering thousands hung in the deeps of the sky overhead, how wonderful would be the display if every star were as bright as Sirius or as glorious as Venus. To be out on the still water on some clear Christmas night, floating as if in space with such stars overhead and reflected below, would make one feel as if one were in the midst of an illumination of the Universe to celebrate the soming of our Savior. This suggests what might be done in Winter Park every Christmas Eve and if done, might become a charming custom in the celebration of the birth of Christ. It is the time honored custom in many an old country town in Europe, or at least, was, until this war to illuminate houses and grounds on Christmas Eve. Thousands of small glasses were filled a third with cottonseed or other oil. Tiny wicks were then floated upon the oil by small bits of cork connected by tin stampings, thus keeping the wicks from the cork. These glasses were hung by wires from tree to tree or from house to house, and the wicks lighted. Even a strong breeze would not extinguish these lights, and the effect at night was very beautiful. Let us hope that the people of Winter Park will find some such means of celebrating Christmas, thus following the suggestion in the Star of Bethlehem!
