Page Eight FOREST PARK REVIEW Thursday, December 4, 1947 FIN On The Social Side 103 CE Polly by K. Peterson From where I sit, it's a dingy be a setting for one of those dreary and any one who ventures across a passing car comes up on the of the soiled sacks in those films glasses. There's a bright spot in townand that's down Madison street. And I've'been told Roosevelt road is pretty gay with color, ton. Have you noticed the banners that make mock of a gray day? Those cheerful red, white and green flags that toss the season's greetings to all who look are put up by Forest Park Chamber of Commerce, and they are a pretty sight.

Did you huppen to notice them the day before Thanksgiving, when the was gold, the sky a clear, cool blue? Their warming colors made me so filled with the Christmas spirit that right now I'm poorer than a Wall Street broker in the days of '29. I hear tell, too, that those bright banners will not be confined to Roosevelt and Madison alone. Nor will they form the only Yuletide decorations in our town. On posts not already sporting the white and crinison streamers 'there will be festoons of evergreens, twining up the posts to blend with Christmas wreaths outlining the cheerful rotundity of Santa Claus. All this will be done next week, I am told, and what a lift to a sagging spirit on a dank, dark day.

What a happy greeting on A joyous sunny morning. Give praise to the Chamber of Commerce for its cheerful salute to Christmas shuppers in an alert, into Forest Park. Mr. and Mrs. Thanksgiving Day at home in it's Julian J.
