Street Decorating
Started Tuesday
The committee in charge of
decorating Trade street with col*
ored lights for the Christmas holi
days began work on Tuesday Tom
Costa, the chairman, aided by C.
J. Lynch, the treasurer and others,
have one electric pole near the
Kell Furniture Co., into a Christ
mas tree design with pine greens.
Other poles on down the street
will receive similar treatment.
Then each “tree” will be decorated
with attractive Christmas tree
lights, giving Trade street a light
ed Christmas tree way instead of
having lights strung across the
street.
The committee is having to deco
rate in proportion to the amount
of funds raised. Treasurer Lynch
states that $125 is still needed to
put the program over as outlined
by the committee but he has faith
in Tryon andbelieves somebody
who has not contributed will give
the needed balance.
