A RARE.BIT AFFAIR
(COntributed)

The young people of Oroville and,
incidentally, the older ones were given
an opportunity last Friday evening of
witnessing what was perhaps little
out of the usual in the way of church
entertainments, that of a Washington
Rare-Bit social concentrating, it is
needless to say, the happy event of
the arrival of the distinguished pro-
genator of American patriotism,
George Washington, which great char
acter and his wife were ably repre-
scented by Mr.. D. P. Wheeler and Mrs
r. Butler. Appropriate colonial dec
orations added very materially to the
suggestion of the spirit of 1776, while
together with the cherry tree in evil
dence, and the program consisting Of
songs, readings and extemporaneous
speeches along the line of early Amer
lean history, resulted in carrying the
listeners bake to the days of American
chivalry to the extent of eliciting no
small amount of commentator of the
way in which this social event was
planned and executed.
ApropOs of the exceptionally strong
astronomical proclivities of our be-
loved forefathers dainty luncheon
consisting of WEIGH rare-bit, served
from a battery of beautiful chatting
dishes that would have caused the
army of Valley Forge to regret that
they could not have lived in the days
of these modern appetizers rather than
in the primative times of tin cups and
pumpkin pie. Excellent percOlatOr
coffee was another important factor
OF this delicious repast, which was
presided over by an appropriately
CARRIED chef, who did full justice to
his part of the program.
To pleasantly terminate the even
ing's diversion each person was in
vited to 60 cherry picking. Upon open
ing the cherry portion of a maxim
was found and upon matching these
partners were found for grand
march led by George Washington.
During this march tribute was paid
to our nation in the singing of Ameri-
ca, never more beautiful than when
sung by those whose hearts beat with
loyalty for our first president and our
beloved United States.
This social is the second one given
by the Presbyterian c. f. and each
having proved such a success plans
are under way for similar events each
month, to which all are given a most
cordial invitation to attend.
