Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description:	Top left: Three children drag Christmas trees out to the curb. Later, a truck stops by the pile of trees and two men load the trees into the truck. Bottom left: An illustration of trees lying on the curb next to trash cans. Right: A crowd of people gather around a huge bonfire made of all the collected Christmas trees. Images of Christ as both an adult and a baby appear in the smoke. A banner says that it is Epiphany, the end of the Christmas season. Jesus Christ Image Access WideTEK 25 This morning on your way to school--take your old Christmas tree to the center of your block and stack them at the curb--city trucks will collect them. Its a great idea. Been doing it other places for years. Epiphany observance of the 12th Night--end of the Christmas season. For a giant bonfire at Lamasco field--West Maryland Street this evening, 7:15 with special program under City Recreation Department, civic clubs, and city firemen in charge. Also serves to remove one more eyesore--discarded trees that litter up yards and add to trash piles for months and months. [in margins: January 5, 1948]
