without exaggerating in the least
the minstrel show on Thanksgiving
night, at the Auditorium under the
auspices OF the GlassbOro County Club
was the best home talent production
of it's kind ever given here. From the
time of the rise to the fall of the cur
tain, the large and enthusiastic au-
dience showered applause in appre-
citation of the boys able work. There
were several new faces in the circle,
and there were two new end men,
viz: A. Johnson and Wilbur F.
Haight, who made good in their
clever work.
The customary Thanksgiving union
services in the churches was not over
looked. At the First NJ. e. Church

p. Church. and large concourse OF
people attended. The customary Offer
ing was taken and the money was
sent to the Children's Home at Tren-

Many dinner parties were held and in

good cheer that laid in store for them.
On Thanksgiving eve, at 5 o'clock
while many were preparing for the

than usual as each anniversary comes
around. The Rev Charles Bratten
DuBell, of st. Thomas P. E. Church
performed the ceremony which made
one Miss Lou H. Mead and Mr.. Pres

the costuming exquisite and the talent
chiefly local including some of the
prettiest of Glassboro's pretty girls.
