1 NEW YEAR CELEBRATION
AT THE LOCAL Y. M. C. A.
About 2,300 People Present to Take
| Part in and Witness Celebration
The farewell to 1523 and welcome to
. 1924 at the Y. M. C. A. proved to be
' a great drawing card. Over 2,300 peo
ple "were in attendance at the various
.activities frour- 0:30 p. m. until after
midnight, many taking part in the pro
gram.
The basketball game at 8 p. m. drew
n crowded house and emphasized the
fact that another larger gymnasium with
ample spectator space is needed for this
growing cjty.
The tug of war in front of the "Y un
der the glare of many colored lights
was of interest to hundreds. More
than six hsndred alone witnessed this
event. The pillow fights on a wooden
horse caused much merriment, and so
great was the enthusiasm that this part
of the program have run indefi
nitely.
A large trench had been prepared un
der the row of colored lights and a big
hot fir<- with ample coals aglow were
ready for the weiner roasters when a
sudden gust of rain diminished the en
thusiasm of hundreds of eager specta
tors around the fire. More than two
hundred hot dogs went by the fire and
800 crisp marshmallows we lose in this
battle.
In the gymnasium Mr. J. W. Denny
and member of his class of advanced
gymnastics, Walter Sullivan, Roy In
taker, Hermit Morgan, Ixmis Smart.
Alex McFadden, Young Melchor. Frank
Mund entertained the cbowd with
tumbling, horizontal bar work and other
special features.
One of the features In this class of
work was the high jumping and diving
of young Morehead which feat was of
great interest to the crowd.
Following this came one of the treats
of the evening. Rev. W. A. Jenkins
gave a brief review of the growth of the
Christian churches, their wonderful ac
complishments atid the great ’ achieve
ments being brought about for everlast
ing peace among all nations.
The high school orchestra entertained
for, one hour in the lobby during the
progress of the basketball game and
was much enjoyed by a large audience
who were unable to gain admittance to
the gymnasium to see the basketball con
test.
During the closing minutes of 1923,
Dr. Martin, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, made a most beautiful and
eloquent prayer.
Exactly at 12 p. m. Cqptain Kenneth
Caldwell marched in front of the "Y”
with the military company and fired a
last farewell to our departed friend,
1923.
Amid much noi*e and good- feeling,
firecrackers and bells and the crowd dis
persed to again take up the threads of
time and await the coming of. another
such gathering as was put on for this
occasion.
Preached for Prisoners
The people in the county jail and at
the chain gang were made very happy
Christinas day when Rev. H. T. Black
welder visited the two places of confine
ment and hold services with the prison
ers. Also before leaving he made them
happy • again by giving each prisoners
fruit and nuts for Christmas as he knew
they could not be at liberty to enjoy
Christinas as others.
Mr. Blackwelder its going a wonderful
work in Concord and vicinity. If you
don’t know him go to the county eourt
hoiioe on Saturday evenings and hear
him as wo know Brother Blackwelder
lias a message from God for you that
will do you good, and your presence will
do him good.
AfT%oon as spring sets in Mr. Black
welder will start a series of revival
meetings in Concord under a tent, but
we need your held to do this and we
feel that the people that know Brother
Blackwelder won’t mind helping him in
this course. H. L. PAIR
