The Gem in Georgia’s Crown VOL. 59—No. 49 GLENNings It's sorta funny the way Christmas tree effects people. So far as ’Im concerned, it makes me sentimental. The other day, for instnace, when we were placing the lights on the trees on the square, I got the feeling that Christmas had ar¬ rived. There was a warm glow inside and all the Scouts to get the same feeling. It might have been hard work, up those trees—is the cold rain —but that glow kept us going as if at a party. People passed and smiled as they watched us, some com- mente about how pretty they looked or thanked us for spread- the spirit—and we all felt wonderful. But alas—there’s a Scrooge on the Square! And this modern-day Scrooge caused extia work and tempor¬ ary ushappiness. But since we’ve learned that for Scrooge, there are hundreds people, working to them. This Scrooge demanded the boys take down the and leave the courthouse after all, he reckoned, had secured his permission put the trees up. It was at that point that Christmas spirit hok flight, and. after, an. jstanding” the work proceeded.. Permission to place the on the square had been iseveral weeks ago by the .authorities and Georgia Co. made a special effort to place the defective wiring the lights could be turned on schedule. All we’ve heard about trees since has been good I’m back in the grips of Christmas spirit, as I sit and look through my window those very nice trees. Monday night the Scouts out selling trees to benefit polio fund and met with success. One customer in impressed us. This man had given us per¬ mission to cut trees on his In order to help raise money. And when a scout on him Monday night, bought a tree—for five times selling price! And what’s he’s going to decorate it, give it to someone who afford to buy their own tree. His action erased all the ugli¬ ness of the action of the of the Square. We hope that the presence (the trees will grind on Scrooge, until after a while be so moved that he may volunteer to assist us in them down after the holidays.
