CHEERED BY 1,000 CHILDREN | 1—The Saar. 2—Douglas Fairbanks and AT CITY FESTIVAL “sci the Word Cat ‘Association of Commerce Yule- tide Event Draws Big At- tendance Tuesday Over 1500 kiddies welcomed Santa Claus to Bismarck Tuesday afternoon at the city auditorium and received bags of candy from the benign repre- sentative of the good old Saint Nick. The program is an annual affair sponsored by the Association of Com- merce. The entertainment program was featured by seasonal music by the Juvenile band, an appropriate talk by Rev. G. W. Stewart of Mandan and a pageant of “The Night Before Christmas,” by members of the Bis- marck Community Players under the direction of Mrs. Kenneth Peterson. Singing of Christmas carols by the children under the leadership of Ralph ‘W. Soule was an interesting and en- tertaining feature of the program. Distribution of the candy was done by the Junior Association of Commerce assisted by the boy scouts under the direction of Wyman R. Glitschka. The committee of the Association of Com- merce in charge of the affair con- sisted of Judge A. G. Burr, chairman, Dr. G. M. Constans and C. W. Leifur. Miss Rita Murphy assisted by the girl scouts had charge of the packing of the candy. Fine Remembrance Received by Burke Christmas bore a fine gift to Chief Justice John Burke of the state su- preme ‘court Tuesday—tidings of an old friend, lost in the obscurity of 18 years. Judge Burke ripped open an envel- ope to reveal a letter from William Whistler of Council Bluffs, Iowa, from whom he had received no message since 1917. Whistler recalled their last com- munication dealt only with war—both had sons in the service. Whistler's letter today revealed his son had re- turned from the war severely gassed and wounded. Passing years, he said, had brought success to his son. ROSEGLEN YOUTH SUCCUMBS Fargo, N. D., Dec. 24.—(#)—Melvin C.
