Delightful Reception
For Rev, and Mrs, Wear

Last night Rev. and Mrs. Wear
were the guests of honor at recep-
ton given them in the Junior Annex
of the church by the deacons and
their wives. This was one of the
most delightful evenings spent to-
gether by these very congenial
friends, bound together by ties Of
loyalty to their church and with a
high regard and deep affection for
their beloved pastor. A pleasant
social hour was enjoyed, when keen
wit and repartee he'd sway. Yet in
the pauses one could note the under
lying sadness, as we realized tina.
this was the last of such gatherings
and he who was the center OF this
group and who meant so much to us

in our homes when those we loved
were i'll, in our hours of recreation

another people. Seated around a
-four square table, decorated with
red carnations and roses, these
friends enjoyed feast of fried
chicken, meats, salads of various
kinds, pies that were beautiful to be-
hold and better to eat.
Music and song and the laughter
and play of the young people Of our
families gave the note Of brightness
and was infectious, too, for soon the
Oldest and most sedate of our deacons
and their equally sedate "better
halves acted like real young folks

High School Gi,ls
To Do Valiant
Service In War
Savings Drive

The first Woman's War Savings
committee for Lakeland was organ
lied yesterday at the home Of Mrs.
George Wright. In response to an
appeal by the local chairman who
outlined the object Of War Savings,
the great need of women workers
and the magnificent work the women
in Europe are doing, not only in the
Red Cross but in the factories. fields
and other industries, splendid
bunch of high school girls enthusi-
iastically responded to the call for
volunteer workers on Woman's
War Savings committee for Lakeland.
Realizing that the government is
laying the chief emphasis Of this War
Savings plan on nationwide edu-
cation Of our people to learn to be
as thrifty and saving as we have
hitherto been wasteful and extrava-
giant, these young ladies will at once
carry on an intensive campaign of
education, carrying the message not
only to every home in Lakeland but
to every one in the home and en-
deavoring to place thrift stamp
(which is the foundation work of the
campaign in the hands Of every man,
woman and child in Lakeland. This
work does not end with this week
but as War Savings society this
committee will carry on their edu-
cational feature for the balance of
the year at least, along with the
work of the executive committee.
The chairman emphasized the fact
to these girl workers when they had
impressed a lesson of thrift upon a
child even so that that child'S migG
was turned from spending to saving,
they had done a more valuable work
than if they had simply sold thou
Sand dollars worth of War Savings
Stamps to a man perfectly able to
buy twice the amount.

Johnny Chuck Goes Back to
the Far Corner.

Johnny Chuck sat licking his
wounds. for the teeth Of Raddy Fox
were sharp and despite the toughness
Of Johnnys coat they had torn it in
several places. So he sat on the
doorstep Of his new house and licked
his wounds. this being the way Of
the little people In fur whenever they
are hurt. And. As he licked Johnny
did . little thinking.
For tho first time he realized how
poorly chosen was this place where
he had dug his house. He UNDER
stood perfectly how it was that Red
dy and Mrs. Fox had been able to sur
prise him, and he knew that they
would be able to do 1t again. That
wall was too high for him to look
over to see II enemies were about, SO
every time he left his doorstep to go
to that distant clover patch he would
risk having happen again the very
thing that had happened. And he
again he couldn't hope to have Bow
ser the Hound come along Just in
time to save him.
An automobile rushed past on the
other side Of the wall and Johnny
ducked inside his house. He Just
couldn't get used to those noisy
things. He waited for the dust which
1t had raised to settle before he came
out again. The grass all about and
the leaves Of the bushes were gray
with dust Johnny thought Of the
cool. clean, green grass in the quiet
far corner OF the Old Orchard where
