 BETHEL
 RETURNING TO SCENES OF EARLIER
 MT and Mrs George P. Crane of New York City have been making an ex- periHsental trip for health and a renew al of strength in the bracing air of Connecticut. After several weeks spent enjoying familiar scenes and old acquaintances both appear to have made crowning success of their so- journ. Mrs Cranes early days were spent in Bethel Society and Wild Cat school district( ElmwOod), and while with us, like many others she filled a useful position in the community and will be remembered as Sunday school scholar and teacher and also a member of the church choir. Nearly three score years have passed since MT Crane first adopted Bethel for home, and where he married AnnJ. Smith, his present wife, who has been a con- paniOn for more than 50 years. MT and Mrs Crane both were fine singers and were members of the Congregational choir. A few incidents may still be remembered blythe older people of the church in reference to the music of those days. Instrumental music had been adopted and concerts were given by the large choirs, which drew a full house. It was at one of these enter tainments when MT and Mrs Crane WorQ called 11nO1 hvInnQ in tho I1fl ionoo in the room below to sing popular piece of music, "The Old Arm Chair.'' J The piece was sweetly sung and great ly enjoyed by all present. More than a half century has passed. Still the echo of that old song continues and brings to mind pleasant memories.
