Chit - Chat By CONSTANCE ARMFIELD i i Years from now people will be wondering who started this Com munity Christmas Thee idea in New berry and so for the benefit of those that might turn to the files of The Sun seeking such information, I sub mit the following: Six years ago, the Christmas tree was begun on a very small scale in the home of Mrs. Ben L. Knowlton, still considered as a Newberrian although now living in Columbia. She knew the secret of Christmas joy was “doing unto others”. She wanted her lovely little children to learn this secret and prac tice it. She couldn't have accomplish ed it in a better way. As I said, the first Christmas Tree was a small af fair. The Knowltons got in touch with four needy families, invited them to their home, told them stories, sang carols, and finally, presented the children with large boxes of toys and fruits, and gave the family a basket of food... For three years, Mrs. Knowlton continued to have the Tree at her house, each year asking whom ever she met on the street to join her and her children in this worthwhile cause. Finally more and more people became interested in the project and moire and more families were found to help, so in 1934 and 1935, the Tree was held at the Episcopal church of which the Knowltons were members. Last year, Aveleigh Presbyterian church was the scene of the Com munity Christmas tree and the num bers helped this time had grown from a few to 60 children. The Mothers’ Club and the American Le gion Auxiliary are now sponsoring the Tree which has grown into a com munity project and a project in which anyone can help to share that joy which the Knowltons found several years ago. Each year, the manual training department and the sewing department of the high school mend broken toys turned over to them, the Boy Scout and Girl Scouts collect the toys and gifts, the city policemen go after the children in the city and county who are being aided by the Tree and take them home, and the town in general does its part... Mrs. C. A. Dufford is chairman of the Tree this year. One lady in each church has been designated to help her and gifts of toys, clothing, candy, and nuts are being planned for many un fortunate little children under 12 years old, while their families will be riven a supply of food...“When I help each year, I feel it is really the best part of my Christmas to see those little children’s pale faces light up,” said Mrs. J. D. French, a promi nent leader in this yearlv event. And to quote your soc. ed. “I’ve attended the Community Christmas Tree the past 2 years and now my Christmas season would be incomplete without doing my small part which is so greatly returned when I see those children’s happiness.” There’s something exciting about Christmas weddings and especially if the wedding is on Christmas day. The red and greenery of Christmas for de corations and the piles of beautiful gifts makes the wedding doubly ex- citingl Christmas Day at Mrs. J. E. Stokes home on Wilson street is the time and place for the wedding of Miss Jeroldine Waites, sister of Mrs. Stokes, who lives in Monroe, Ga. “Jerry”, as she is better know in her ememoraace FROM I former home town, spent Thanks- | giving weekend with Mrs. Stokes, returning Monday to her home. She will return here just before Christ mas. Meanwhile plans are going forth for the wedding which will be an outstanding beautiful affair in its simplicity. I learned that the weding and pre-nuptials events will be quite and simply as Jerry has not fully recovered from a recent serious ill ness at her Georgia home Babies in the news... I can’t figure out why November seems to be such a popular month for birthdays. The November of ’37 has brought some in teresting birthdays among which is the daughter of the William Patridges bom Monday evening about 7 o’clock at the local hospitaL The Partridges had wanted a girl so the name, Molly Langford, was all ready for the tot when she arrived. Of course you know the Mrs. was Clara Eskridge. About the middle of last week, news came floating down this way of the birth of a son to Mr. and Mrs. William Self of Parksville, at the Clinton hospital. Mrs. Self is the for mer Miss Marion “Sunny” Hipp. And the little boy is red headed!.. .Mother and son are doing fine, I understand, in the Mrs. Aubrey Harley and new son of last Tuesday affair. Mrs. Har ley is at her mother’s home in Waiter- boro. The seemingly insignificant father, Lawyer Harley, is here getting the home on Johnstone street ready for mother and son to occupy soon. About the time you read this the Jordan-McCullough wedding in Spart anburg will be over. About 160 quests including a large number of Newberrians were invited to the wed ding this afternoon at 2S1 Marion avenue, Spartanburg. Friday after noon cf last week, Miss Polly Ander son and Miss Kitty Anderson, class mates of Miss Jordan’s honored her at a party at their lovely country sstate near Spartanburg. Christmas decorations were used in the room where three tables were placed for hearts and the honoree was presented a package of hand embroidered guest towels. Saturday afternoon, Miss Grace Beacham, of Spartanburg hon ored the December bride with a party. Mrs. L. G. McCullough attended both parties. The early part of this week orought additional pre-nuptial affairs .'or Rosa and Joe Henry. The wed ding today climaxes a romance of juite some time. The couple will make their home in Spartanburg.

Packed Audience Hears Noted Evangelist doliufuutt. {paJU “The message I’d like to bring to Newberry is that Christ is still Lord over devil” said the Rev. Gipsy Smith in his address Tuesday evening at Aveleigh Presbyterian church which has been considered by many as his outstanding address up to this time. Mr. Smith took his text from the fifth chapter of Mark. “When you say goodbye to sin, this old world will be on the high road to health,” said Mr. Smith in illustrating that disease and sickness is due to sin in one’s life. In depicting the story of Christ raising the small girl from death as given in the fifth chapter of Mark, Gipsy Smith con cluded, ”He proved himself Lord over death.” “He’s the man’s Christ, .le’s the woman’s Christ, and He’s the child’s Christ,” commented Mr. Smith as de tailed discussions were heard by the packed audience on all three phases. “A Christ that can go into West minister Abbey, or into a gipsy tent, rap into a negro shanty is the Christ for me”, was one of this noted preach er’s closing remarks Tuesday even ing. The two week’s services being con ducted at Aveleigh church conclude Sunday evening.
