FIVE U. S. COMMUNITIES
Christmas is the name of five
communities in the United States.
There are communities named
Christmas in Gila county, Arizona; ;
Orange county, Florida; Lawrence
county, Kentucky; Bolivar county,
Mississippi, and Roane county,
Tennessee.
Tennessee also has a village
named Christmasville in Carroll
county. There is a Christmas cove
in Lincoln county, Maine, and a
Christmas lake in Hennepin county,
Minnesota.
Indiana is the only State having
a town named Santa Claus. It is
in Spencer county. However, there
is a St. Nicholas in Duvall county,
Florida, and a St. Nicholas in
Stearns county, Minnesota.
Study of the Atlas reveals three
towns named Santee, one in Knox
county, Nebraska, another one in
Northampton county, Pennsylvan
ia, and another in Charleston coun- j
ty, South Carolina. There is also
a Santee Bluff in South Carolina,
in Williamburg county.
10 YEARS TO GROW XMAS TREE
It, takes about 10 years to grow a j
Christmas tree. At the end of that!
time it has achieved a height vary- 1
ing from five to 10 feet.
If Seward residents are of the
opinion that a skyscraper is being
erected on the aviation field be
cause it is already visible from the
city limits they are wrong, for it
is the Seward Airport hangar
framework which they see.
A. H. Thody and Mannie Senft,
contractors who are building the
hangar for Seward Airport, yester
day laid the sills and erected some
of the roof supports. It is the in
tention of the contractors to get
a roof on the structure as soon as
possible so that they will be shel
tered from adverse weather con
ditions.
Frank Laugerquist, Seward car
penter, was to join the hangar con
structors today in order that the
roof could be put on much sooner.
Four men are now employed on the
hangar construction.
CHRISTMAS SEALS
As usual, it is expected that Dora
this year will think that Christmas
seals are fur coats.

SEASONAL INTIMIDATION
“Sonny,” said the dietetic mother,
“do you want mama to tell Santa
Claus to stay away from here? Then
eat your spinach.”
“All right,” sighed the modern
child, “only it sounds like blackmail
to me.”
