Solon Williams was thanked Tues
day night by the Tryon Chamber
of Commerce directors for con
tributing the living Christmas trees
to the Tryon Volunteer Fremen
who have decorated the tree with
blue lights. The Firemen now need
some money with which to pur
chase candy, nuts and fruit to
help Santa Claus in distributing
them to all the children on Dec.
18th .... STOP THIEF! You
are robbing the Christmas Spirit.
One of the lowest forms of mean
ness is the robbing of light bulbs
the Christmas trees on Trade
eet. Last year two boys were
caught, arrested and fined $36.00.
Every police officer and private
citizen is requested to keep eyes
open for boys so low down they
rob Christmas trees. A man can
be forgiven for stealing when he
is hungry or in need to relieve
pain, but to steal light bulbs
which he can’t eat or use is low
down. The fellow robs his own
friends of the Christmas Cheer
the lights send out to all who pass
bv. The lights tell everyone, “In
Christ’s name we love you, best
wishes to you and yours, be of
good cheer, let’s enjoy the Christ
mas spirit of giving and doing for
others ” Who would be so low

Holland Brady had charge of
the Tryon Kiwanis Club program
Tuesday at 1 p. m., at Oak Hall
and had as guest speaker, Dr. A.
V. Dye, who recently returned
from a tour of countries in wes
tern Europe.
Dr. Dye, a retired American
diplomat who has travelled over
much of the world, stated that he
was pleased with the higher ideals
of the average man he found and
of the eagerness of the people to
get along with people in other
countries He said the populations
of Europe as well as the western
hemosphere is increasing rapidly
and that some means of control
must eventually be found, that
Europe can not feed itself, nor
Mexico, nor Japan. He said in
many lands the population is
growing faster than the land can
support. He was impressed with
the facility with which one can
get accommodations at European
hotels by letter, telephone or tele
graph. The peoples of the world
are getting closer to one another
in many ways.
Guests at the meeting included
Sam Goodman, A. W. Koon and
St. Clair Knight of Spartanburg.
