SPLENDID Patriotic Service
Record Crowd at Baseball Park
To Celebrate Independence
Day.

For many long years patriotic services
or in fact demonstration of any char
acter, Qfrecrackers excepted) has not
been held in Thurmont on July 4th, or
Independence Day.
This year, thanks to Rev. Charles D..
Shaffer, president of the Community
Club of Thurmont, very appropriate
patriotic service was held Monday even
ing, July 9Th, at Baseball Park. Rev.
Snaffer at club meeting suggested hav-
ing such service, and backed by the
club members, set at work arranging a
program for the occasion.
Invitations were sent the lodges of
Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and
Junior Order United American Mechanics
to join with the Club in such a service.
The members of the G. A. r. Post were
also invited.
Meeting at the Club rooms at o clock,
the Thurmont Band led the way to the
park, almost two hundred men falling in
line to participate in the service to fol-
low. The ladies went direct to the park
and occupied seats on the bleachers. At
the parl, the Band played several selec-
tons after which Rev. Shaffer made
few brief remarks The program for
the occasion was as follows:
Singing, "America," assembly.
Address, DR.. E. c. Kefauver, K of p.
Singing, maryland, My Maryland.
Address, Rev. Paul E. Holdcraft, l. O.
O. F.
Singing, Tramp, Tramp, Tramp"
Mems Chorus.
Address, Rev. E. H. Hummelbaugh.
Jr. o. u. A. M.
Singing, Columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean," assembly.
Address, Rev. M. L. Beard, Communi-
ty Club.
Singing, "We're Tenting Tonight
Mems Chorus.
Singing, 1.-The Star Spangled Banner
assembly.
The addresses were all ably delivered
and much appreciated by all present.
The service lasted about one hour and
half. The weather was ideal, and
those present cannot but help remem-
boring for many years the patriotic SER
vice he'd July S, 1915. May this service
cause the citizens of Thurmont to be so
enthused with patriotism that each year
hereafter similar celebrations may be
held.
