and this fact was also mentioned.
The Yorkville troop of Boy Scouts
were on hand and they did what they
could for the convenience and COM
fort Of the old soldiers who appeared
to be greatly impressed with their
courteous and efficient service.
Shortly after IL o'clock, the veterans,
their wives, the local ministers and
the Boy Scouts were invited to the
hall where they were seated before a
bounteous meal. Rev. j. L. Oates OF
fered prayer, after which the guests
were invited to fall to. They did.
There was an abundance Of good things
to eat, the menu comprising chicken,
roast beef, ham, salads, croquettes,
pickles, rice, eggs, pie, cream and cake.
Coffee and lemonade were also served
and each diner was presented with a
bottle Of grape juice to be carried away
as a souvenir.
Contrary to the usual custom there
were no speeches delivered either be-
fore or after the dinner. Several songs
rendered by chorus Of young ladies
proved to be a welcome substitute for
speech making. The daughters Of the
Winnie Davis chapter assisted by the
auxiliary chapter, U. D. c., waited up
on the tables and performed their SER
vice in such a satisfactory manner as
to make 1t impossible for any guest to
want for anything an instant.
There were no formalities connected
with the meal and after each veteran
had dined to his complete satisfaction,
he filed out to the door where he was
presented with cigars, the gift Of the
York Drug Store. An invitation was
extended to each of the guests to visit
the movies and several availed them
selves Of the opportunity.
