night is brightened by colored lights and an air ofgaiety is added to our cities townsand villages The lead in this is given in most cases by the public authorities merchants and certain interested associations For this they are deserving of our sin cerest thanks for without their lead It is questionable whether many citizens would consider any form or Christmas decoration other than the traditional tree and house decorations Same is particularly fortunate in hav ing city council and merchants who have thought it worthwhile to spend something on illuminations The city hall is decked with colored lights the Parks Board has hung tent of lights and this is one ofbhe most effective decorations to be seen in the cityme the flag pole in MemorialSquare as well as stringing trees with colored lights on other park property No doubt the WC assisted in these projects The om Same station carries sea sonal illuminated decoration the main street in Allandale is strung with lights andin Barrio the main street carries the usual illuminated motif suspended across the street The Barrie and District Horticultural Society has done much in recent years to encourage local homeowners to put up outside decorations by organizing an annual competition The designs for the homes have developed considersny sian the competition was first instituted One on Collier Street this year is as animated and attractive any seen in the two main stores on Yonge Street Toronto While admitting that colored lights is not the all and end all of Christmas it has to be acknowledged that these various displays
