Community Christmas news from our past

As Christmas neared in 1941, the community was active as it is today.Our friend and researcher Cyrus shares these discoveries from the archives, with his personal notes in parenthesis.

A brief news item noted that S.W. Bailey, "of 1311 Ave., Dayton, Ohio, formerly of Adair County," would, along with 9,000 other employees of National Cash Register, receive a Christmas bonus.

The screamer headline in the December 10th edition was far removed from Christmas: "U.S. DECLARES WAR ON JAPAN." Even so, a short blurb appeared on page one, reminding readers to use the News as their guide for Christmas shopping.

Also on page one was an announcement of the special Christmas program to be delivered at the Columbia Methodist Church at 11 a.m., Sunday, December 21. Selections to be presented included "Behold, I Bring You Good Tidings," by the church choir, and "'Holy Night,' arr. from Brahms,Mrs. Ray Flowers, Mrs. C.M. Russell, Mrs. Ray Montgomery, soprano obligato by Mrs. R.B. Prentice, Mrs. Wesley Evans, accompanist."
