LARGE CROWD

InIlVl VllVUU
The annual picnic of the First
Methodist church which occurred
yesterday at Winter Haven, was a
very enjoyable event. About $50
members left Lakeland early yester-
day morning, going up in special
coaches to that place. At Lake AL
fred the Lakeland picnicers were
met and welcomed by a committee
of young ladies from the Winter Ha-
ven Sunday school. Automobiles
were furnished by various citizens
of that thriving town for the trans
portation of the young people to the
picnic grounds, on the shore of Lake
Howell. Here tables had been con-
structed under the oak trees, and
the bath house and boats were
placed at the disposal of all. In
short, everything that could be done
for the comfort of the Lakeland par
ty was done by the people of Win
ter Haven, who displayed great hos
pitality and showed them every
courtesy. Bathing, boating, and the
program, planned and carried out
under the able direction of Mr. r.
E.. Lufsey, and Mr.. l.. G.. Hull
followed by typical picnic dinner
contributed to make a day of fun
and entertainment for both the
young and old. A score or more of
young people motored over from
Lakeland to attend the picnic which
increased the number to about two
hundred and seventy five who par
ticipated in this outing.
