PRICE FIVE CENTS Community Christmas Trees In Chappaqua, Thanks To CC By ALVINA PARKS For the attractive Christmas! decorations in the streets of Chap- paqua's business section, the com munity can thank the Chappaqua Chamber of Commerce which once again, as it has so many times before, saw a need and filled it. The triangle at the bridge ap proach on S. Greeley Ave. cur rently boasts three decorated treses. The large evergreen near the apex is hung with ornaments and multicolored lights, while the two smaller Swiss pines at the base glow with blue lights. Up near Town Hall, the triangle at King St. and Bedford Rd. her alds the coming of Christmas with a tree g&yly decorated with orna ments and lights. A tree illuminated with white lights and a sleigh filled with gay- ly wrapped Christmas packages brjghtensi the appearance of the 1«T at the corner of S.

There is change and e ing continued over who should take the ornaments- down and how it should be done—and any&e meantime Chappaqua • be £a |nje mildly famous, in a sad kind'\\of way, as probably the only place in the world where Christmas was celebrated as spring came. The Chappaqua- Fire Dept. fin ally took the decorations x>ff the tree, and for |fie nextr two years assumed the responsibility for de corating it. It was no small task. Biggest problem, of course, was the height of the tree, which made placing or removing the top orna ments remarkably like an expedi tion up Mount Everest only hard er in that the footing was even more perilous. What with that, and minor pro-, blems such as the fact that many of the ornaments blew off, floated away in the brook, and were other wise removed, enthusiasm for de corating the station tree waned. Now, this year, the Chamber of Commerce has risen to the chal lenge of providing a community Christmas display for Chappaqua. The streets are bright with their decorations, and there will be no removal woes when the holidays are over. The same firm that de corated the trees will remove the decorations and pack them away for next year. So thank the CCC as you wend your busy way through the busi ness section, and as you drive past the triangle across from Town Hall. Whether you realize it consciousljflfbr not, the trees, the lights, the bright ornaments, the sleigh and the bright packages all add their bit to make a Merry Christmas in Chappaqua.
