Since it first be- came known that the ball committee had decided to present the infant to some "deserving couple," little else has been talked of here. A peti tion w&s immediately Circulated among the residents and more than 400 signatures were affixed, protest- ing against such action.

So keen is the interest aroused in the matter that the Town Hall promises to be packed to capac ity when the baby is awarded to the winning couple on.
