Social News at Pennington

ity we are continually having some
thing doing to draw oud lives to-
gether socially. Our club is too
large to meet at private homes and
as nearly all members are patrons
of the Pennington school district,
we've been holding our gatherings
in the school house. In the summer
months we ar anged ice cream So
Gals, then as fall came on we gave
an all day picnic with the good old
fashioned picnic dinner and water
melon feast in mid afternoon. About
Halloween time one evening we
came to our school house with bas-
kets filled for a chicken supper and
after listening to a short program,
we held our business meeting and
arranged for an oyster supper Tor
Thanksgiving and by each family
furnishing as much milk, cream and
butter as they would use at home
for such an affair, and assessed
small amount for oysters, crackers
and pickles, made the affair quite
success. Two ladies of our COM
munity made the stew at the school
house. We used just four gallons oil
oysters And at this time we thought
it fine to give a pie supper to raise
some money for the needy and ask
ed all who cared to help to come to
our Farming club pie social. Very
few of our membership failed to
come or send pie so we, with the
aid of two prominent business men,
sold our pies for 1926. There has
been a committee appointed to see
where this money can do the most
good. Practically everyone who
has attended our social events are
agreeably surprised to find such
congeniality as this social spirit has
aroused in cur neighborhood. AS
our school. house has a furnace and
lately been equipped with electric
lights we feel quite modern and
comfortable. We are planning toI
have another affair in January.
