LOCAL AND PEIiSOXAL Tho North I'latto canteen ladlos nre making preparations to glvo every soldier who passes through on Christ mas day a Christmas dinner; and not only a spanking good meal, but each will receive from a Christmas tree a packugo of candy, a pop-corn ball and porhaps some other knlc-knac that x will tend to make tho day more cheer-1 full than it might otherwise, prove to them. Arrangements have beerh mado to begin serving this meal to the boys ' who pass through on tho early fore noon trains No. 1G and No. 19 and' also to those on other trains. , If the number of boys who pass thru Christmas day is as groat as on other , days, and it Is probable such will bo true, it means serving probably not less than ono hundred and fifty din ners, perhaps moro. To serve this number means a big lot of provender, ' and contributions will be gladly re ceived by tho Canteen ladles- i Gardner Morris, director of tho can teen sorvlco for the Central Division, In a letter to the North Platte Can teen says: "Tho Red Cross program contem plates some contribution to tho happi ness and Joy of every Soldier and Sail-, or on Christmas Day. The men travel ing on trains, and those marooned at railroad stations, camo particularly 1 under the care of the Canteen, and It will'lie the Canteen privilege to show , them on that day that they are not j forgotten. " "Thoro will bo hundreds of boys i whoso Christmas will be dismal in-1 deed, unless we do our part. Please ivav your Canteen do all possible to carry out tho spirit of Christmas. Can toon Huts and Rost Rooms should show Yuletido decorations and have a Christmas tree with little presents for each Soldier or Sailor who cornea In. For those passing through on trains, a package of cigars, nuts, raisins or candy, tied up with red ribbons and a bit. of liollv, would carrv the niessasro- "Each Unit will want to work out its own plans. Let the contribution of yojir Canteen to this Christinas Pro gram bo In keening with the wonder ful work already done." : :o: : Declines fo Leave Local Church.
