| The community picnic which was
such success last year. will be re-
peated this month on August ~ at
Bluff Park. There will be people
| from Keokuk, Donnellson, Argyle.
Montrose and in fact from every
point in the county hereabouts. The
| picnic is to be known as the White
Institute community prcnrc. 1t is
! planned to give any proceeds which
may accrue from the auction sale to
the institute which Is located near
Salem few miles from Keokuk.
| Committees in charge Of the picnic
have not all been selected, but 1t is
expected that the personnel will be
announced soon. 1t is planned to
have a chairman from each township
on the committee.
Supt. Hal C. Graham of the White
Institute, will be present at the pic
mic and will speak on the work which
the institute is doing. There arc
some fifteen children from Keokuk
at the home, and they are being
nodded into better citizens by the
work which the institute fosters.
The institute is well known to
local people. 1t was founded through
the efforts of a Quaker named White
who had a vision about eighty years
ahead of his time. His idea was to
help boys and girls VINO would not
otherwise be helped, to become bet
ter citizens, through training in some
useful branch of work. This work
lis being carried out now among the
children in the home, and is proving
decidedly we'll worth while. The
institute has its own buildings and
grounds, and children who are kept
there are children who would not
have a chance, otherwise.
1t is planned to have an auction
feature similar to that of last year
when the Red Cross benefited from
the picnic, and there will be also
stand for soda pop and other such
adjuncts to a picnic. 1t is expected
that this year the event will be
fully as successful as last seasons
and Keokuk people will be urged to
send big delegation to the park on
August ~.
