the sons of the most respectable people

got out small flyers with the heading
Rub a dub, rub, Spencer Ma
rine Drum corps. One of these was
seen by FIR. Lamy. and he proceeded to
rub it into the members of the corps.
The pastor is not in favor of Saturday
night dancing, and in his sermon he
forbade them to attend the fair A
parade was given both evenings by the
drum corps, and at each parade the
residence of FIR. Lamy was passed.
Another sermon was given this morn
| ing at high mass by FIR. Lamy, the sub
| ject of it being directed against the
young men of the drum corps. He

spect for him or the church, adding that
if they had, they would have never pa
raded past his residence.
