FINE PROOF OFPROSPERITY

Santa Clans Finds Only HandFull Of Poor Children.

Three Hundred Presents HatBeen Provided But Only 30

Were Needed.

According to mayor Temple whenthe Christmas tree idea was firsthroched in Winter Park it was de-termined that there should be nopoor child in this district without aChristmas present of some kind.The number of poor children couldonly be guessed at and the firstguess was made at 150 and a Win-ter Park citizen purchased andturned over to the ladies committee150 presents in accordance with thisestimate. Fearing less the estimatewas too low and to avoid any possi-bility of there being a giftlesschild in and around Winter Park,another citizen presented the ladies'committee with 150 silk UnitedStates flags, thus making 300 pres-ents available in case of need ; andhen for the first time the commit-:ee felt absolutely safe. The nextstep was to locate the children whowere to receive these presents anda canvas was made of all the chur-ches, Sunday schools, day schools,the charitable societies, and the postoffice, thereby, covering every pos-iible avenue of contact with the

poor, and when this work was alldone and the names all tabulated:rom all these sources of informa-:ion it was found that the total poorcHiloren to 'bihprovftfe'd tor*IntKe 'entire Winter Park district was lesshan thirty. In the words of Mayor

Temple, "a higher testimonial tothe progressiveness, wealth andprosperity oi the town and itsidciuity than this could scarcely bemagined—a grand total of less thanhirty indigent children in a popu-lation of more than a thousand i"

The result was that the poor chil-iren who attended had more pres-ets than they could carry home

and there were still an enormousumber left over to be divided

among the pupils of the schools,vhom the teachers, recommendedas being especially apt in the God-ike spirit of helping others.

INTERESTHMAST 2 NIGHTSOld Fashioned Community ' l i n g " On Friday Evening-

Colored Folks to Entertain i s On Saturday.The Woman's Club announces

that on Friday and Saturday even-ngs there will be programs of un-

usual interest. The Club believesn .singing good old fashioned'sings" where everybody joins in.You do not need o be an artist orto have completed a course of lessonsto be eligible for the "Sing." Books;;

^popular ^ongs havejbeeji.'distrjbjisted over the whole town, at the verymoderate price of ten cents. It ishoped everyone will buy one andcome out promptly on Friday even-ng ready to "lend their voice" to

the occasion. This means you.On Saturday night the colored

people will take charge of the tree,and many think it will be the bestnight of the week. We all knowhey are natural born singers. They

are preparing a real treat for us andwill be well worth hearing. Everyone is urged to come and bid theree farewell for on that night when

the lights go out the CommunityTree will have ended its career.

The celebration of Christmas Evearound the community Christmastree, which was over forty feet hightopped by a star of Bethlehem incolored lamps, will long be remem-bered in Winter Park. The exer-cises on the first night opened upby singing by the children of theschools. More than one hundredand fifty boys and girls took part inthe singing. Then Dr. W. F .Blackman made an interesting ad-dress at the close of which he in-troduced Mayor Temple and themayor talked to the little children,impressing upon them the wonder•and blessedness of Christmas timeand telling them what the grown-ups expected of good little children.After this", seventy-five large silkUnited States flags and sixty small-er ones, gifts of the Woman's Clubwere handed out to the school chil-dren who waved them joyously andsang "My Country Tis of Thee."Then, Santa Claus appearing to belate in arriving, a detail of BoyScouts were sent to find him." whichhaving been done they drew himand his cart in triumph to the treeto the wondering delight of theyoungsters, after which Santa Clansdelivered his presents to the assem-bled children and they were allmade happy. The gifts consistedof sterling silver sewing sets; juve-nile typewriters ; dolls; games; em-broidery sets ; and filled stockingsby the dozen.

It was • estimated that nearly a

.thousand people attended the exer-•cises. They came from as fariiorth as Sanford, as far south as<Kissimrnee, from Oviedo on theeast, and from Winter Garden ofthe west. The main streets and theside streets were thronged not onlywith autos and carriages, but therewterein evidence manv mule-drawn

tne-tsJbaije.- of wagons,packed full of good old fashioned.Cracker chairs with cow hyde seals.

The tree has been such a successthat it is hoped to have it a regularannual performance on ChristmasEve, and to make it better and big-ger each year.

An amusing incident occured dur-ing the exercises on Christmas Eve.A little tot about six years old,draging his nurse by the hand,worked his way through the groupsurrounding the mayor at the closeof the exercises and in a tearfulvoice, gave his name and home ad-dress in Connecticut to the mayor,asking him if he would'ut pleasetell Santa Claus before Santv gotaway that the little boy was not atHome but was to be found in roomlib. at The Inn, and that heIjad forgotten to send Santy hischange of address and would beafraid that Santy would'nt knowwhere to find him.j The cold weather of Saturday

night'was a great disappointmentafter tbe balmy promise of Christ-mas morning and the charmingprogram of the Methodist and Con-gregational Sunday Schools had tobfe given in Hooker Memorial Hall.In order to avoid confusion the tree

was not lighted that night.On Monday night, however, the

fates were again propitious and un-der a starry sky a great crowd as-sembled about the tree. The even-ing's entertainment was given bythe Camp Fire Girls and BoyScouts of Winter Park, and neverwas a prettier sight witnessed. Theblazing bonfires and Indian costumesof the girls, their songs and rhyth-mic swaying motions held theirlarge audience spell bound. TheBoy Scouts were no less successful.Gpce more the fires were kindled ;the tent and flag pole was raised ;"the twist3' was fearfully and won-derfully made to the great enjoy-ment of the ladies present. Thewbunded were bandaged; .thedrpwnded resuscitated; Scout Foleyw^s initiated \ .all the various ac-tivities and stunts of the Scoutsvfire represented."

Directory of Winter Park Teie-ptione Co. Has ISO lames

Which Is 120 More Than la 1914and 75 More Than In 1915.

Will Be Ready Jan. i 5.

No later than January 15th. theWinter Park Telephone Co., willsend to the printers its new tele-phone directory with a list of overone hundred and fifty subscriberswhich will show an increase of onehundred and twenty subscribersover the number represented in thefirst directory which was gotten outby the company in 10.14-and an in-crease of seventy-fh'e or more overthe second directory gotten out in1915.

New telephones are now beinginstalled by the Winter Park Tele-phone Company at the rate of ten aweek, and all persons desiring tele-phone service are requested to gettheir applications in as soon as pos-sible so that their names and tele-phone numbers may be shown inthe new director}'.

On the second page of the direct-ory will appear the following "Im-portant Instructions and Suggest-ions to telephone users:"

"LOCAL S E R V I C E ""Always call by number, not by

name.".After the printing of this direct-

ory all new subscribers and theirnumber will be printed in the localnewspaper and vou can keep yourdirectory up to date by cutting themout and pasting herein.

"In case of trouble or unsatis-factory service report to No. 438.

"Telephone numbers should notbe published on stationary, in adver-tisements on wagons, etc. Thetelephone number is the property ofthe telephone company and is likelyto be changed as the business de-velops with the growth and pro-gress of the community."

There have been several com-plaints about the way some tele-phone subscribers answer the phone.The following suggestions areoffered: In answerino- the tele-s'phone, do not >av he!!o," or "well"or "what der-ye-want," or someother expression of ferocity: justspeak your number. The personcalling you will then know all thatis necessary without having to gothrough disconcerting, time-waist-ing preliminaries. If your numberhappened to be 438, for instance, inanswering your telephone just takeup the receiver and say "438." Theperson at the other end of the linewill then be ready to go ahead withwhat they want'to say.

A new lineman and telephoneman, Edward Strickland of NewYork, has been engaged by C. H.Galloway, manager of the WinterPark Telephone Company, and hestarted in to work Monday morn-ing. He is an experienced man andwill be a valuable addition to theservice.

evening lent a varied character tothe week's entertainments and wasgreatly enjoyed by everybody.

Much credit is due to Mrs. Halverstadt of the Woman's Club, andto the ladies on the Christmas treecommittee of which she was chair-man, for their untiring industry andtheir generous help in their wish tomake the tree a success. The clubstood back of the committee finan-cially and otherwise and the ladieson the committee were: Mrs. Hal-verstadt, chairman; Mrs. Hunter,Mrs. Batchelor, Mrs. Cushtnan,Mrs. Folty, Mrs. Detwiler, Mrs.Barbour and Mrs. Schultz.

Administration to Be Changed

Cat,us of Registered VotersCalled For Jan. 6th.—Elec-

tion Feb. 1,1916.

A caucus of the citizens of Win-ter Park who are registered votersis called at the Hooker MemorialHall on Thursday evening January6th at 7 130 o'clock to nominate thecandidates for city offices of thetown of Winter Park to be votedfor at the city election which willbe held in accordance with the lawon Tuesday, February 1st, 1916.

There will at this ele;tion beelected a mayor, a town marshal, acity clerk, who is also ex-officio taxassessor, and town treasurer. Therewill also be four aldermen electedthe terms of office of Messrs. Har-ris, Keezel, Powell and Schultz ex-piring at that time.

As this election will elect a ma-jority of council and a mayor, there-by completely changing the presentadministration, it is sincerely hopedthat a large and representative meet-ing of the true citizenship of Win-ter Park will be present on this oc-casion in order to determine whothey want to administer the cityaffairs of the two ensuing years.

All Have Accounts.In order that every school child

in Winter Park might have his ownor her own Dank •account the Bankoi Winter Park has opened accountsfor 139 children and deposited 25cto the credit of each child.

The deposit was made in connec-tion with the school savings bankwhich has been introduced into theschool here by the Woman's ClubThe children deposit their moneywith the teachers and they in turntake it to the bank aud credit it tothe proper account The bank isissuing little pass books speciallygotten up for the children and assoo'n as a young depositor has asmuch as one dollar to the good apass book is given out. No specialcheck books will be issued, for, asMr. Powell, cashier of the Bank ofWinter Park, says, "it is not thedesire of those interested to havethe children save a dollar and thenspend it, but to have them save adollar and then save another."

The deposit donated by the bankamounts to about $40. The bankwill be put to quite a little extra ex-pense to handle the account in theway of having to purchase specialbooks to the extent of $75 or more.

Mr. Powell says that the childrenare responding to the bank idea andthat already the deposit has beenmore than doubled. The little passbooks will be issued on Jan. 10.

^WINTER

The social life of the average vis-itor to Winter Park becomes so de-~lightful and the town itself, with itsperfect climate, its shady avenues,its high grade hotels aud its charm-ing homes, nestling amid the sur-rounding lakes is so' attractive, thatit is sometimes difficult for the visi-tor to realize that there is much tobe gained in excursions to the coun-try round about.

One who is accustomed to cityways and is bound to a certainmodicum of living, whose ideallandscape is best expressed by Cen-tral Park in New York or perhapsBoston Common, would find thetypical Florida scenery surroundingus too unkept and woolly forfastidious eyes to approve of. Butto the lover of nature, who appre-

Another point well worth drivingand visiting is the famous Cala-sh

|ium gardens of Dr. Nehrling atjotha, westerly from Orlando.

This truly wonderful collection ofliviag color is the finest in theworld, and a visit there takes oneever very good roads all the way.

Florida is rapidly becomingknown as a cattle country, and nowthat the age marks the passing ofthe genius "cowboy" in the West,it is interesting to visit the regioniround Kissimmee where the typi-cal old time cowboy rounding upJiis cattle, is still to be seen on thebroad plains not far from the city.The trip takes one over miles of^mooth brick road south of Orlando.

One is surprised at the beauty ofthe landscape and the rolling, almostfrciates her various forms, and abCV>\^lly country on the road to Eustis

all, to those who have come toWy way of Mount Dora. LakeFlorida to revel in the healthful J>.popka, one of the largest lakes inout-of-doors, Winter Park can be-come a radial center to all sorts ofneve, experiences and mild advent-ure.

In the early days of Winter Parkwhen the former Seminole Hotelwas filled with guests, there werefairly serious drawbacks to lengthyexcursions. The country aroundWinter Park was certainly attrac-tive even then, but there were noreally good roads, and the vehiclesavailable made but slow progress ascompared with our modern auto-mobiles. Notwithstanding thesehandicaps these early visitors dis-covered the charm of-the' countryabout them and their - praise-hasmade this region famous.

Not all Florida roads are good,and even the efficient automobiles,brought down by our present visi-tors, cannot be expected to savethem from occasional jolts if theyundertake to see the surroundingcountry. Yet those who shrinkfrom occasional rough going miss agreat deal more than they are i per-haps aware of, by insisting on

Florida comes into view many timesyn this trip, aud onepassess throughjnany beautiful regions as well.The road is very generally good,and if continued to Eustis leads onefver about ninety miles before onereturns to Winter Park. Quitenear Winter Park, but by a rathersandy road, one may reach theiamous "Sink Hole" not far from

Fairview. This is a trulytwonderful depression in the soil.The "Hole" being the site of a-i-ound pond, the waters of whichare nearly four hundred feet deep.A drive to Sanford enables one tofeach the shores of Lake Monroe,{i part of the water system of theSt. Johns River. At the publicdock in Sanford a delightful andbeautiful water excursion may bemade by engaging one of several'arge motorboats usually anchorediiear by. After crossing LakeMonroe one enters the upper St.Tohns river which is very windingind picturesque at this point, as faras Lemon Bluff, a regular picnicresort, at about the most charming'point in the river. It is possible toreturn conveniently to Winter Park'the same day.

the spirit of the .Florida scenery.-Whether we go by water or byland, there is something indefinablyalluring in the broad open forest,the dark patches of "hammock,'.'the sunlit stretches of palmetto flatsand the subtle softness and warmthof coloring. There is an odor ofpines in the breeze and '. a sighingand rustling in the air. It takes ussome time perhaps, to appreciatethe call of the mocking bird, the'cawing of distant crows, the beck-oning of the swaying moss ia thefree tops. But if once the greatspirit of Florida pervades us, welearn to know and we learn to lovethis open country, until sandy roadsand jolts are forgotten.

Space does not permit the describ-ing in detail of the many lovelydrives and water excursions whichmay be taken from Winter Park,for they range all the way fromsimple picnic trips to fairly • exten-sive tours, but it may not be amissto suggest the mere outlines ofwhat a visitor may try. • .

With a fair amount of health andstrength, an average love of natureand a yearning1 for a new experi-ence, anyone may find another con-genial soul to join in the enjoymentof a day or part of a day in the opencountry, taking a luncheon along toprovide for the good appetite whichis sure to reward the experiment.If a motor trip is planned, one mayledve Winter Park and visit Weki-wa Spring, known locally as "ClaySpring." This trip leads one thrua very interesting country and, inparts a very beautiful one. Theroad varies from very good to quitepoor in spots, but the excursion isworth while as the spring is exceed-ingly interesting. A mass of sul-phurous water rushes out of thedepths of a clear pool and in suchvolume as to form a good sizedstream. Around the pool is acharming grove of great palm andoak trees which form a delightfulspbt for a picnic, and from here "motorboat can be engaged to visithe1 beautiful 'Wekiwa river. Thiss a very popular resort for Orlandoand Winter Park automobilists.
