Christmas Day
Celebrated By
State Institutions
Christmas is a season of joy
and merriment to most of us, a
season when friendships are re-
newed and a spirit of good-will
prevails. Christmas and the Yule-
tide spirit arre especially impor-
tant to those who are ill or in
trouble for it helps to make them
feel that their fellow man has
sympathy and interest in them.
Though we think of Christmas
as a family affair yet there are
many people who must spend
this Christmas away from their
homes and loved ones. Over 13,000
patients and inmates of our state
institutions fall in that category.
Of course, many of these people
have friends and relatives who
will make every personal effort
to bring happiness, to these un-
fortunates, but there are also
many without kith or kin to whom
the thought of Christmas would
be only a pain were it not for
the efforts of those in charge of
our institutions to make the holi-
day season what it should be for
these people.
IT IS EASY for those having
good physical and mental, liberty,
freedom, home and frie;nds and
financial independence to over-
look those who are less fortunate.
"It is more bessed to give than
to receive," through the kindness
of others.
Realizing the importance of the
Christmas season; the institutions
of this state have tried to provide
a rememberance of the Yuletide
on Christmas Day.
These gifts have been made pos-
sible in the past through dona-
tions of articles and money from
the kind and sympathetic resi-
dents of the state. Each year a
drive is put on to collect presents
and each year a larger amount has
been donated.
ONE WEEK or more is set aside
at the institutions for appropriate
holiday activities. The State it-
self provides an excellent Christ-
mas dinner and otlmrwise contri-
butes liberally.
Every effort is made to have
friends and relatives of the pa-
tients and inmates visit them and
make them a part of their own
joys.
As an example of what is done
for these people in our institu-
tions, here is the Christmas pro-
gram for the Western State Hos-
pital at Fort Stcilacoom at the
last holiday season.

Sunday, December 29: Church

Wednesday, January 1: Patients'

'/?lie CHRISTMAS dinner was
one to please the most Jaded appe-
tite and better than a great many
families had in their own homes,
including turkey, cranberry sauce,
giblet gravy, whipped potatoes,
brussel sprouts, pumpkin pie,
mince pie, plum pudding, olives,
celery, candies, nuts, mints, fresh
fruit and beverages.
This year again the mental hos-
pitals, custodial homes, schools
for the deaf and. blind, homes for
the aged, and penal institutions
will again bring the spirit of
Christmas to the people wlmse lot
is not as happy as most of us---
the people of whom Tiny Tim said,
"God Bless Us, Every One."

Lawrence M. Arnold, chairman,
Seattle-First National Bank, has
been reappointed a director of the
I Seattle branch of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of San Francisco for
a two-year term, according to an-
nouncement just received from
San Francisco.
Arnold's appointment was made
at the regular monthly board
meeting of the Federal Reserve

cember 9. His new two-year term
starts January 1.
An officer of the Seattle-First
National since 1925, and serving
as its chairman since 1940, Ar-
nold has been closely identified
with both regional and 'national
affairs of business and banking•
The bank which he heads is
now the 20th largest in the United
States with 43 banking offices
serving the over 300,000 custom-
era located throughout the state.
Grapeview
Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Sund and
their sons, John and Warren, had
the following guests for Christmas
day: From Olympia,, Mr. and Mrs..
Frank Backlund with their son-
in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs.
Elwood Howard and son, Michael,
and from Maine, Mr. and Mrs.
Howard, Elwood Howard's par-
ents.
As usual, Mrs. Peggy Hillman
was hostess to the Grapeview
Women's Club Christmas party
last Friday. This is a special time
in the club's year and an especially
nice time was had by all pres-
ent.
Clem Hell, in the services of
Uncle Sam, returned home Wed-
nesday from Yokqhama, Japan.
He is now out of the army. Mrs.
Hell has resigned from her posi-
tion with the Stretch Island Wine-
ry and Mrs. Hysom has taken her
place. :Mrs. Hell will be on the
reserve list, however.
Mr. and Mrs. Carrel Bush have
again donated the nuts for the
children of the district for their
Christmas program.
Some of oqr citizens have had
to adjust their mail services since
the post office was moved to the
store. It seems anyone living
within a quarter of a mile from
any U. S. postoffice must call for
their mail. Other adjustments
have been made over on the is-
land. Some now have boxes on
W. S. C. Notes
Old Man Weather did a back-
flip. The snow's gone, the rains
came and it's like spring outside.
But regardless of the lack of snow,
all around the campus are evi-
dences of Christmas. There are
lighted trees and yard decora-
tions along the streets. Living
groups are holding Christmas par-
ties.
The Bookstore is mobbed by
students doing last-minute shop-
ping and here and there about the
campus are heard tim ring of old
familiar carols floating through
the stillness of the night.
One of the most interesting jobs
held by any of the Shelton stu-
dents here at W.S.C. is that of
NORMA SIMONSON. N o r m a
spends three hours every Thurs-
day reading" to Gerald Smith, a
blind graduate student in the Eng-
lish field. ,
GERRY AT the present time is
teaching a class of foreign stu-
dents English. Norma helps Ger-
,ry by reading assignments to him.
Oftentimes she reads novels or
other pertinent literature pertain-
ing to his field.
Norma recently took on another
jobthat of temporary editor and
organizer of the new Stevens .Hall
house paper.
MR. and MRS. SAM KIMBLE
(DOT RUCKER) were the sur-
prised recipients of a charivari,
complete with double-barrel shot-
guns and sheets of tin for noise,
Sunday night at their new home
some 15 miles southwest of Pull-
man.
GIVEN BY neighbors from the
nearby farms, Sam's parents, and
the couple's Pullman friends, the
charivari was a success with 35
' people present. Of interest is the
fact that Sam's parents when they
were first married were char°var-
Ied at the same place. Among
those attending was GENE "GUS"
ANDERSON of McCleary•
Dropped down to the gymnas-
ium the other night to get a pre-
]view of this years basketball
I team. It seems the "new look"
l for basketball this season paral-
/lels the women's fashion trend of
longer lines. At the center posi-
tion are Vince Hansen and Tiny
Arnt who reside at the altitude
of 6' 8" and 6' 5" respectively.
The forwards fall just a bit
shy of the high center posts but
Woodwork Class
Back January 5
New evening classes in wood-
working will be started January
5 at the wood shop in Irene S.
Reed high school, it was announced
yesterday by Arne Johnson, in-
structor for the course.
The success of the fall course
which was concluded December 6
was so great that plans are being
made to meet two evenings a week
during the coming' term, Johnson
stated.
To assure the twice-a-week per-
iods, Johnson said that at least 24
persons must sign up for the
course, allowing the class to be
split into two sections.
He also pointed out that the
class is not restricted to men only,
but women interested in learning
to build things for their homes
are also invited to attend the eve-
ning adult classes•
ALL THE necessary power tools,
including a new additional bench
saw, will be available for the use
of potential cabinetmakers.
Johnson said that projects which
may be built include any item of
furniture from a radio or phono-
graph cabinet to a cedar chest,
boats or other outdoor equipment,
or various corner shelves and
"gadgets."
The class will meet from 7 to
9 p.m. every Monday evening, with
another meeting .every week open
if enough students enroll for the
course. Registration for the course
may be completed at the high
school office any time before Jan-
uary 5, or it may be done the first
evening of the new night-school
term, Johnson reported.

This is one time that we could
wish for a million new words to
describe our annual school Christ-
mas program. It was so wpnder-
ful. But then all the rest of you
good people were there too so you
know what I mean. There's moth- "
tng' in all the year's activities that " f*"
draws the Crowd like this. And z
to think that all over the land,
groups are getting together at this
holiday season to commemorate
peace and good will. It's some-
thing to think about. We had an
exceptionally fine program this
year and much credit should go to
Mrs. Wilma Leevers, our teacher,
and several others who worked
hard to help.
Prof. McGhee of Union played a
violin solo. His daughter, MI. '
Monroe, played the piano far the
entire entertainment and they
should receive a big thank you
