"NIGHT OF LIGHT"
CHRisTMAS EVE '
In compliance with the national
"Night of Light" movement, the
Albany Chamber of Commerce is
urging every home and budine.su
concern to turn on every light iri
the house of Christmas Kve and
keep them burning until midnight.
This seems but a little thing to do,
but it is a striking symbol of our
American freedom that should not
be overlooked. While Freedom's
light is obscured in such h great
portion of the world by modern
warfare's blackouts, we of Amer
icH are free to revel in a blaze of
Christmas glory. Let your chil-
dren turn on and off the lights
thui they may be more fully con
.scions of the great privilege that
is theirs by virtue of being Ameri
cans.

THANKS A MILLION '
—o—
On behalf of the suffering men, |
women and children across the
oas the members of the local
chapter of "Bundles for Britain
wish to extend to the citizens of
Albany their grateful thanks for
the splendid attendance at the ben- j
..fit play, "Night Must Fall," many!
of whom donated sums in excess of:
the price of the tickets. We es-
pecially wish to thank Robert Nail I
for his untiring work in produc-
ing the play, and each member ol
the cast who gave -o generously of
their time and talents.
We thank the school authorities
for the use of the building and
both the Albany papers for the
unstinted use of their columns in
publicizing the show.
In case the Kuropean war con-
tinues we will, no doubt, call upon
you again in the near future, as
suffering will increase as the win-
ter grows worse and general chaos
becomes certain. We bespeak your
kind consideration in our further
efforts to alleviate in our small way
as much of their pain as possible.
Again we say, "Thanks a Mil-
lion."
Respectfully,
MRS. ROY MATTHEWS, Chm.,
Bundles for Britain.
Despite inclement weather many
Albany people were present Tile
day night for the first band con
cert of the year given by the Al
liany high school band. This or-
ganization, under the efficient ili
reetion of Russell K. McKiski, lias
made big strides this year, and is
a musical organization the entire
community has reasons to be proud
of.
The forty-piece band has work-
ed hard this year, and has mast< r
ed advanced music. The program
was excellent, contained a variety
of -elections, and each number was
rendered as nearly perfect as it is
possible for a high school band lo
play.
During the program a music
hou.se from Abilene recorded nine
of the selections, and these num-
bers will be available to Albany
people.
Outstanding in the program wa-
tt bass solo, "I'ompo o," by Odell
Herod. Odell was encored, play
ing "(>lil Black Joe" for hi ectind
solo. A not her .-urpri-e for I he a i
dleiice was two number by the
double c|llal'tet which i also direct
ed by Mr. McKiski.
Outstanding performance for I e
evening was the rendition of "Diz
zy Fingers," I'eatui ing the fine
clarinet section, headed by Wen
dell I'almer. The recording of this
number proved that the numhei
was perfectly rendered. Other
well rendered -election that were
outstanding were: Overture,
"The Wanderer," an advanced type
of music that is very difficult;
"Them Basses," "Stormy Weath-
er," and an arrangement of "(!od
llles- Xtnerica," with choru by
the band voice . Medley of old
favorites and Christina one
greatly pleased the audience.
It is hoped that the band will
given regular concerts during the
year.

LIONS TO DEPEND ON DONA-

BASKET PROGRAM
—•—
Plans for the annual colored
football frame were called off Wed-
nesday when the Vernon colored
hiph school asked to cancel the
«ame due to the fact they had two
backfield men ill, and another in-
jured. The game had been set for
Friday night of this week, with
the strong Abilene filnck Ragles,
district winners, playing Vernon.
It is too late to get another team
to play Abilene, so the Lions club
believed best to cancel the game.
Many tickets have been sold to
this game, and the purchasers can
get their money back from the
person from whom they bought the
ticket. However, anyone desiring
to contribute to the Lions Club
Christmas Basket program, can
leave their ticket, purchase price
with the Lion .
For ii number of years the Lions
club ha. distributed baskets to the
needy here at Christ ma time. Last
year about 100 basket were 'lit
out. Much of the money for this
work ha come from the colored
ball games and donations.
This year the Lions have gather-
ed up a truck load of old toys
which have been sent to the Fort
(iril'fin ('('(' camp, where the en-
roll! e are busily engaged in re-
pairing and painting them. Most

Ten Performances of
Pageant to He Given
Christmas Week
MRS. FRANK ELLIOTT WILL
PLAY ORGAN
Work on the Nativity play, the
Christmas pageant which is to be
presented free to the public again
this year, goes on at a rapid pace.
Mrs. Frank Klliott, recalled from
her new home in I'arnpa especially
to play the pipe organ for the pro-
duction, is busy all day practicing
the score or working wdth the ac-
tors in synchroni7.ing their parts
with the musical background of
the action. According to Robert
Nail, director of the production,
the return of Mrs. Elliott is the
best insurance of the continued
success of the play. Her skill at
the organ, coupled with her pa-
tience during the rehearsal, make
her indispensable, he said, adding
that the numerous engagements
she has been asked to fulfill since
her return are proof enough of
her value to the musical life of the
community.
A crew of stage bands is busy
at the Presbyterian church con-
tracting the platforms and erect-
ing the three arches which form
the -citing for the production.
Mr-. !>. I . Rose, mistress of the
wardrobe, is busy at the work of
taking the hundreds of costumes
from mothball storage and press-
ing them, and of combing the
■ ill from the wigs and beards of
Mo e and the other prophets.
Children's Choir Practice*
At the -chool the sixty boys and
girls of the children's choir are
busy, under the direction of Misfl
Mollie Frank Touchstone, learning
their Christmas hymns. And the
actor. Joseph, Mary, Herod, the
.shepherds, and all the others—are
t e'ing periodically all day long
with Mr. Nail, recalling their parts
o that they may take up the per-
formance this season with the
same .skill and perfection wdth
winch they acted last year.
The pageant will, at public re-
(|lie-t be repeated just as it was
presented last Christmas. New ac-
tors aie replacing those who have,

Defense Guard Unit To Register Monday
YOUNG MEN URGED TO JOIN
GUARDS
—o—
Through the alert interest,, and
efforts of the various civic and
veteran bodies of Albany, author
ization has come from th. Adju-
tant General's office at Austin for
Albany to form a unit of the Texa
Defense Guard. The Texa- De-
fense Guard is, in effect, a replace-
ment of the Texas National Guard,
which has recently been called into
the regular military service of our
country.
We are sure that inwardly every
citizen of this little city fedls a
certain thrill in the fact Albany
has been approved for this unit. It
bespeaks well for the organizations
who havi poi 01 i d t *i . ■, e\i i
in our gladtn -s, then r. a note of
sadness a.- marching orilei are
issued to the Old Guard We have
come to recognize a a common
factor in our American life. \Y.
never gave the National Guard any
serious thought or .on nidation
other than they were a clas- of fel
lows who found surcease at <•< rtain
times from the daily routine of life
in the folds of a soldier',- uniform.
Today, when the sinister cloud
of war threaten total destruction to
the peace and happiness of the
world and America wakes to find
mere oceans are no longer barriers
to the forces of hate and envy that
would usurp, ultimately, the land
that gave freedom to man in the
divine sense we know it, the Na-
loiiaI Guard wa the onH group
• om our c i izeii hip p< r-onnel
■eady to answer our country -
emergency call.
So, with hats off to the National
Guard, we, the citizenship of IVxas
are ready to till their vacancie ten
fold and more with the new Texas
Defense Guard.
Sponsored by Legion
Of the various organizations
sponsoring the defense unit foi
Mbany, the American Legion Wa
designated as the base from which
to organize. In behalf of the
Legion may we express sincerely, it
is an honor valued and respected.
