C. COLE, President and Manager 122 South Third. St, Phone 87 ! 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 22: Church services with speclal Christmas music; slrLglng of carols in all wards by patients' choir, Campfire Girls and students from Pacific Lutheran College. TUESDAY, December 24: Spec- al program in the assembly imll• Music by the hospital orchestra, greetings from the superintendent, comedy acts, novelty acts, a .skit, music by the patients' quartet and by individuals.

Saturday, December 28: Special Christmas movie for the paUnts. Sunday, December 29: Church services in the assembly all. Wednesday, January 1: Patients' dance tn the recreation hall. '/?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."

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.

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.
