changes in these. Notwithstanding
the bad weather, however. the sons"
from the Quaker City were given an
automobile ride about Milford and
were shown some of the princi-
pal industries located in the city.
The visiting men we're more than
surprised at the warm welcome that
they received at the hands of the cit
izens of this town, and they were
warm in their praise for the Milford
people. Following the automobile
rides, the guests we're taken to the
Masonic Temple where they held an
informal reception for several hours.
At six o'clock two hundred men sat
down to an excellent shad dinner,
served by Thad Windsor at the Arm

ment.
