Colonial Club Christmas Tree Brightens Bath Kids
The Colonial Club held its tenth annual Christmas tree at the Columbia Theatre with 150 children attending. President Cahill opened the program and Rev. Wilson offered a prayer before a five reel film and a large gift distribution. Each child received a sweater, hose, mittens, cap, orange, candy and toys. The event cost $500 and was funded by club leaders. Separately, Sunday music by Joseph Gaudreau’s Orchestra drew crowds, and Bath saw ongoing yard work on the five mast schooner Samuel C Mengel as parts arrived. Mrs Delia Cullinan prepared to relocate to Long Beach Cal with her son, and a Grand Trunk wreck near Norway claimed four lives, while Bath faced a corn shortage until new shipments arrived.
