OAKLAND BAY I SHELTON VALLE00 I
In order that the children and, in(i- / Mrs. J. O. Shafer Came over from
dentally, the grownups of Oakland [Charleston last week for a visit with
Bay may have one big Christmas[her son, Joe Shafer, and family, and
feast, the district school, the Sunday/old friends here.
school and the community club have
combined and united their efforts to
that end.
On Thursday evening, December
22, there will be an entertainment
with a mixed program in which the
children will predominate but the
grownups also appear in musical
numbers•
Followin the completion of the
program the big Christmas tree will
])e illuminated and everyone--old and
young--will find that they have been
remembered by good old St. Nicholas.
Nuts, candy, oranges, apples and
pop corn will be liberally distributed
and the luncheon committee under
the chairmanship of Mrs. Thompson
will serve coffee and doughnuts.
The announcements that Mrs.
Maude Le Master of Shelton will lead
the community singing at the Christ-
mas entertainment has greatly en-
hanced the anticipations of pleasure
filling the hearts of the people of
the district. It is generally under-
stood that anyone who does 'not sing
when Mrs. Le Master is leading is
either tongue-tied, or has a flat ear
and is supposed to be silent by re-
q"4ae"* members of the Oakland Bay
Community Club owe so much to the
ladies .for their tireless efforts in
prenarmg lunches ' at the various
gatherings that your correspondent
got in very bad with the community
last week when he omitted the name
of Mrs. Harry Jones from the list
of ladies who prepared the toothsome
lunch for the members who were
present at the last meeting."
Mr. Herbert Drew, county agent,
has made a partial promise to ad-

the one stall between us. Tie man
and his mate, there, have thine." The
little tawny-hlded ox of Palestine ol
the farther side leaned hard against
the s(able wall.
"'Tie a strange star that shines to-
night " his yoke-fellow answered,
sighing restlessly as he turned back
iis gaze from the open door. Even
with care their lmrns clicked in the
narrow space. "if men nest lake
my bed, why did they not turn us out
Into the free air? The grass wolll(l
have dew on it tonfght--aud I could
watch the star."
"HOW snorted the little gray ass
which had carried hither the woman
who lay stretched on the straw be-
tween them. "What grass wouidst
thou pluck from the cobblestones of
the city?"
"Aye," lowed the first ox. "There
is hay here; eat and be still. The
star is no concern of thine."
"The star shineth on the whole
broad earth, Brother. He hath the
peaked hills to wander in, and the
dark valleys, the flehls and the towns
alike. I wish I were free like the
.Star."
"Then, like him, thou wouldst come
slipping in at our sial)le door again.
Hey, come off thy knees I We must
sleep standing," his mate greeted
warningly.
"Hush, Brother. There is something
wondrous in my old stall! Something
very small and white! It gleameth
as with hoarfrost in the star's light.
It hath the smell of lilies. It moveth.
The star can stroke it with Its long,
pale to'hgues." He leaned longingly
against the barrier which shut him
away, until it creaked.
The little ass slipped his soft ears
between his own bars and sniffed in-
quiringly. "Why, 'tie a child l" he
whinnied with delight. "Children are
lovely things. His small fingers will
play with my mane and he will sing
little songs to me as I bear him along.
Look up, little Master. We will see
great days together."
"There. that serveth thee rlghtl"
reproved the far ox as the woman
made a quick motion toward the In-
quisitive nose. "Tby black muzzle
belongeth in thine own manger, Broth-
er ASS."
"She did but brush It aside," t.e
little gray beast breathed contente.
"She is pleased that we know her It,
No fear, Brotluar Ox. Her hus
will not take his staff to us. Shat
gentle, this woman of mine. Hr
child, too, will love us."
But the ox had not drawn back. He
knelt there, his broad forehead pressed
against the bars, his wondering eyes
fixed on the new life which was to
shine over the whole broad earth with
a brighter glory than that wondering

The Bell Ringers will offer a pro-I
,Fram of l)rilli'nev and snaphere on
the evening of Thursday, December
29 at Earlwin Hall at 8:15 p. m.
They ring true--and sin- true--these
lively young artists, anu every min-
ute of their program is jammed full
of most enjoyable entertainment.
When they groip themselves around]
the bell table and start in with their I
!deligl[tful bell ringing melodies, the
audiences realizes that the Bell Ring- I
ling Quartet is a most pleasing orga- ,
niT,',tion.
Hand bell ringing for some time
has been a forgotten art. It was
l a popular form of entertainment for
the Swiss people, but was seldom
used in this country. The Bell Ring-
ing Quartet, however, is undoubtedly
I bringing the Swiss hand bell into ex-
!treme popularity, for everywhere on
their present tour they have met with
the hearties kind of a reception.
t Their vocal program is full of good
things. Their voices are above the
average and their ensemble work re-
flects great credit to their musical
training and coaching. Their reper-
toire includes most of the popular j
quartet arrangements of the day. In
addition to their vocal and instru-I
mental novelty work, they do a lot
of their commendable sketch work
and impersonation. They are four
lively young artists, brimful of en-
thusiasm and uersonality, and they
have been making a great hit all
throughout the season.
GROWTH OF CHRISTMAS TREE
Abandoned Farms In Foothills of
Green Mountains In Vermont Pro.
vide the Yuletide 8prouts.
INCE five million Christmas
trees are annually shipped out of
Vermont, It is only natural to
wonder where they all come from.
They must come from farms--not
farms operated to produce the Christ-
mas tree crop, but abandoned farms
where the tree] have planted and
reared themselves.
These abandoned farms lie in high
valleys in the foothills of the Green
mountains. One may see sections cov-
ered by thirty-odd farms, once thriv-
hag ettlements. but now all but two
or three may be unoccupied. Such
land, once under the plow is gradual-
ly coming back to forest. Along the
fern-choked, , faintly.traced furrows,
young spruces come up an.d in the
open sunshine take on a vivid green.
And more than thatthe.symmetrieal
branches are a lively green clear to the
ground.
Christmas trees cannot be cut in
areas of spruce forest, because when
they grow in dense clusters the un-
der branches die for want of light,
and hence the trees have no value as
decorative Christmas trees.
Few, indeed, see the harvest. One
or two lonely partridge hunters, per-
haps, will see It as it lies covered
with the first early snow squalls In the
mountains. But back in October, when
the days have not lost all of the mel-
lowness of autumn, a gang of twenty
choppers will have been busily at
work cutting the scattering young
spruces and tying them with twine
The cutting and bundling Is the
easiest part of the harvest, for the
trees must be hauled for miles to the
railroad, and at this time of year the
mountain roads are nothing nmre than
frozen ruts and waterholes. Despite
this fact, however, heavy twodmrse
wagons and even motor trucks, bris-
tling with great crlbllke bodies, strug-
gle slowly out. loaded high with the
tre. Two horses are able to draw
out at a load about seventy trees of
average size.
At the chosen town on the railroad I
every disused spot is hlrt and a I
mountain of trees hegius to grow, till I
