May this Christmas season of 1944 be an especially happy one for you. DeLUXE CLEANERS HARK, THE ANGEL VOICESI May the sweet old Chrisi- mas story bring to you this year a deeper meaning . • • a larger store of its Joy and peace and gladness than it ever has before. The tangle of pulley and ropes that prevented the sunset lowering of Old Glory at the Grammar school building was finally unraveled by a steeple Jack, who managed to reach the top of the 65 foot staff after attaining a greater part of the distance through climbing a series of ladders. A crew of painters stragped the ladders together and one of them went up some 60 feet and from that point managed to make his way to the top, where he eliminated the tangle that had prevented the lowering of the flag. Prior to the effort by the painters, Eddie Hogan, a ten year old negro youth who resides at 1713 Campbell street, had managed to “shinny” up the-pole to the pulley, but failure to have a knife with him to cut the hal yard prevented any solution to the problem of the ever-flying flag. The spectacle of the national emb lem flying through the night hours provoked many complaints from cltl sens, but after the predicament was explained in The Chronicle, the public was satisfied to let the school au thorities work out the problem in the most suitable manner..
