A. Rapin entertained number of
his friends at a dinner Sunday even
ing in celebration of the 49th anniver-
sary of his birth. The guest list was
composed of friends who have reach
ed the 49th milestone in life and fell
low townsmen of the host years ago
when he resided in Silver Plume. The
evening was most enjoyably spent
and many of the past experiences of
those gathered around the festal
board were recounted. Mrs. Rapin pre-
pared a spread that eclipsed anything
any of them had ever enjoyed since
they were ushered into this grand old
world. Among those present were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Chris. Cassagranda, Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Patterson, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Baleria and daughter, Miss
Stella, and Tony Cessario. Mr.. Ces-
sario lent a finishing touch to the
festivities by supplying some of that
joyous fluid of the vintage of 40.

In the dull earth NE left behind,
