j. E. Bertrand's occasional social
hops in Bertrand's Hall are fast becom-
ing one OF the most popular diversions
on the social calendar. From a handful
of people at the start the crowds in
creased until on Friday evening there
were over 100 couples in attendance,
and all seem enthusiastic over the way
the genial host provides amusement for
them.
Walter Brockway and family ex-
perienced quite a scare Sunday while
enjoying an auto ride. On the Center
road near KnowIton's farm the front
wheels of the car sank into the sand and
the car tipped enough to throw Mrs.
Brockway and baby out. According to
witnesses she made a graceful slide
through the open door, down the bank
and into the river where she found a soft
but not particularly comfortable seat.
With the baby clasped tightly in her
arms she was unable to retain her seat,
but none of the others were dislodged.
A survey showed not a person injured
nor a scratch on the car and after being
pulled out of the rut Mr. Brockway
drove home.
