This Day in History: 1935-12-22
The Christmas Party sponsored by the PTA for the less fortunate children of the community was a great success. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Salling were the chairmen for this affair. They extended thanks to Scherer & Co, the Suffern A&P, the Great Eastern Store, the Mahwah American Legion and the Suffern Food Center for their gifts of oranges and the Mahwah Community Shop for candy. Sarnoff’s Stationary Store gave toys to be reconditioned. The Boy-scouts under their Scoutmaster Douglas O’Brien and the school children supervised by Miss Gates, the School Nurse painted and wrapped the gifts. Police Chief Charles Smith impersonated Santa Claus to a delighted audience. (Bristow)
