notices Of persons / know, or

start the memory off dreaming
Of the distant past and calling up
incident after incident-somc
sorrowful, some pleasant, but
always sad. OF course, the mis-
takes and errors and follies and
wrongs of the past make us sad
as we regret them, and as mem
DRY flashes on the screen the NOV

are reminded that we are almost
the only one left of those whose
faces we see in the picture.
Friends and dear ones alike have
passed to the great beyond.
While many of us old people
are fully alive to the events of
the passing day, and striving as
best we may to use our influence
for the betterment of mankind in
