THE TREES ARE UP
In order to cut the Christmas
trees for Trade Street before the
rain made it impossible to drive
over the wet ground, the Chamber
of Commerce got busy Wednesday
to locate a truck big enough to
haul them. John W. Cowan of
Cowan’s Super Market volunteered
the use of his truck and became
the first donor to the fund this
year. Buchanan’s 5&10c came
j across with a cash donation and
I the trees were on their way. Other
| donations are in the mail and will
[ be reported Monday. It «rill take
i $175 more than what’s in. the
| treasury to wire the trees and
pay the electric bills. Contribu
! tions may be sent to the Cham
j ber of Commerce or the Bulletin
office, or left at the Tryon Bank
' & Trust Co., the easiest way for
| you to give it. Probably your
| grocer would take it if you request
i it. This is one contribution you
j can _ make tq send out beams of
| Christmas cheer to thousands of
I people who pass through Trade
! Street during the holidays.—Curb
