Twenties to 1946 Yuletide displays prove scarce
The 1946 Christmas season shows fading interest in underground gardens and festive displays with only the Hotel Alexander exhibit and a San Mar Orphanage display available to the public. Notable events include the twin All-American women’s basketball stars Jennie and Janet Hare, Hood College’s Christmas dance for veterans, and a local kiddie car parade by the Automotive Club to aid underprivileged children. The Shaffer brothers’ misplaced alarm and men’s attire shortages at society functions are also noted.
