"THE DUTCH PICNIC"
Bigger and Better Than Eyer-Large
Crowd Expected.


Thirty-five years ago the annual
celebration of the Sunday school and
congregation of Trinity Lutheran
Church, Deer Park road, became ia
miliarly known as The Dutch Pic
nic," and has during all these years
been held on the first Saturday in
August. From year to year the inter
est throughout the county in this
event has continued unabated, and
each year thousands gather in the
grove at the church to enjoy the day.
The picnic will be held this year on
Saturday, August 3rd. If the wealth
er should be unfavorable on Saturday
it will be postponed until Monday
August 5th.
Preparations are i'm progress to
make the occasion unusually inter-
esting, this year, and by reason Of
the fact that the new State road Is
completed, the discomfort of the dusty
roads heretofore experienced will be
avoided and larger gathering than
ever is expected.
