On their quality and reputation dera GALA CHRISTMA The Community Party of Clinton Mills December 21 at Academy Street school was a Christmas greeting quite different from the former doorto-door delivery of fruit bags. More than 800 members of employee's families were guests of Clinton Cotton Mills at the informal occasion among festive surroundings. Refreshments were served to all attending and more than 3,000 bags of fruit, candies and nuts were given out. As guests passed through the wreathed entrances, recorded Christmas music filled the air. The traditional Christmas tree was beautifully decorated by lower grade pupils of the school. Seated in front of the tree was a white-bearded Santa. On his knee, every serious youngster was assured of a very Merry Christmas. Tinsel - bordered murals with candy canes and silver bells enhanced the background as everyone extended warm greetings of the season to one another. Large festively decorated table held refreshments in abundance? cookies, punch, hot coffee, candy and pop corn. Against an interior wall below a snow scene was a small lighted Christmas tree of pink net upon a base of white cotton, \ttracting the interest of all was an effective display case showing end uses of the cloth from Clinton Cotton Mills, including many samples of items made from this cloth. Employees may acknowledge with pride their production of useful quality cloth. As the folks left the party, household heads were presented with pretty bags of 1 ruit, nuts and candy for all the family with the compliments of the Mill. Community residents assisting at the party included J. B. Templeton, Calvin Cooper, Claude Crocker, Mrs. Joe Terry, Mrs. Eva Land, Mrs. Joel Cox, Charles Leatherwood, Mrs. Eugene Johnson, Mrs. Nene Workman, Mrs. Hutfh hi u ford, Miss Odetta Mauney, Miss Kate Milam, Mrs, Gus Blakely, Mrs. Helena Pitts, Mrs. D.
