It appears that the arch enemy of Christmas, or one of his adherents, is responsible for stealing three of the colorful holliday flags now adorning Front St.

The Lahaina Art Society which provided the flags, and the Lahaina Improvement Assn., which installed the street lights and decorations, has asked the town's cooperation in halting such vandalism.

Despite problems with the flags, the two groups are continuing with other Christmas plans. The Art Society was scheduled to hang baskets of poinsettias along Front St. this week.

The Improvement Assn. will sponser a visit of Santa Claus to Lahaina Dec. 23. Santa will arrive at the small boat harbor at 3 p.m.

The group also raised money last week to buy decorative lights to adorn the big Carthaginian sailing ship at the boat harbor.
