FOrefathers' Day,

The anniversary of the landing of the
Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, Dec. 20, 1920,
is one of the most notable in our nations
history, and one that may well share with
Columbus day and the fourth of July In
honor and in patriotic recollection. 1t thas
been well said that Columbus discovered
America, but the Pilgrims created it. This
anniversary has long been celebrated in
our cities, and some of our citizens regu-
larly attend the celebration in Cleveland.
This year, Wellington will have celebra-
tion of her own, which promises 10 be In
every respect as good as those Of Cleve-
land, Toledo or Columbus. The entire
Congregational church will be used: the
SundaY-school rooms will be arranged as
Puritan. .parlors, 10 which all owners Of an
tique furniture, pictures and relics are in
vited to contribute by loan: the parlors
above will be used as dining rooms, and a
royal old New England dinner with roast
turkey will be served: the auditorium
will be used for the literary program. The
cost OF the celebration in Cleyeland is in
variablY one dollar for each person, but
this entertainment will be free 10 all, and
the ladies of the Congregational church
will serve New England dinner for If
teen cents.
Music will be furnished in abundance
by the choir and congregation, and a spe-
cial double quartette will sing songs oil
"ye olden iime," including the irresistably
funny spelling. school song"
The committee has been unusually for.
tunate in its selection of subjects and
speakers for the evening, as the program
will show. Eleven short, crisp and witty
sp peeches, limited TO five minutes each, and
by representatives Of various interests anG
professions, interspersed with choice mu
