Christmas Day Quietly Celebrated in Shoshone
Christmas in Shoshone passed quietly with family reunions and a big dinner. Santa visited and gifts delighted children. In Boise a radio was installed at the soldiers hospital as a reward for mothers’ sacrifices. A large turnout watched Blood and Sand at the Baugh theater and a well attended American Legion dance. A federal prisoner dined on Christmas treats in county jail. Christmas Eve carols by the Episcopal choir and church services lit the town’s holiday mood. New twins were welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Harvey. The post office closed for a rest. An amusing exchange at the Legion dance followed a theatergoer’s Valentine remark.
