which, among other matters, plans
for picnic were discussed. The SEN

ing a picnic place nearer home than
last year when the children were all
taken to Bear Mountain. On Tues
day evening Mrs. George B. Donald
son delivered an instructive and en-
joyable stereoptican lecture on the

Details for the annual school picnic
OF Fairview are shaping nicely, and
to date the committee has collected
the sum of $84.75. George Ebel, jr.,
chairman of the committee in charge,
says considerable more money has
been pledged. And it is the hope Of
the committee that enough will be
Forthcoming to warrant the hiring OF
trolley cars to convey the youngsters
to and from Palisade Park where
the affair is to be held.
The date for the picnic is Wednes-
day, June %, but in the event of
rain it will be postponed until Fri
day, June 80.
Remember it costs but thirty-fve
cents to send one child on the days
fun. Couldn't you spare that small
amount to make sure that no kiddie
will be "short?" There are many of
the youngsters who never know the
taste of ice cream and other goodies,
SO let's all help to make this day one
long to be remembered by the little
ones.
Your offering, be it large or small,
will be acknowledged if mailed to
George Ebel, jr., Hudson Heights
postoffice.
