ECONOMICAL HEALTHFUL DELIGHTFUL I WEST SHORE NEWS 1 NO COMMUNITY CHRISTM AS TREE War Conditions May Prevent Annual Celebration at Lemoyne This Year Community Christmas tree celebra tions' inaugurated on the West Shore in Lemoyne four years agg. according to present Indications will not take place this year. ■ The reason advanced for this is the war. Residents of the boroughs who had charge of the celebrations and who are now devoting their time to Liberty Loan, Y. M. C.
