RAINED ON PICNIC

The Community Picnic had hard
shedding. Not to say that the slid
ing wasn't good, because it was, best,
in fact, we have had this summer, as
many chauffeur who skidded over
the soppy, muddy roads will testify.
But old Jupiter Pluv wasn't consult
ed, and having previously made up
his mind to empty few millions of
barrels of water on this parched and
suffering section of Michigan, he
turned on the sprinkler, picnic or no
picnic. The result was that the pic
mic spirit, save in a comparatively
few brave breasts, was drowned out
Those who sought the school
grounds, however, brought with them
goodly supply of regular picnic
eats, and covers for about 160 were
laid on long tables in the commo-
dious basement of the school build
ing. Hot coffee was brewed, and the
picnicers, not many in number, but
no whit lacking in zest, were soon
engaged in disposing of first-class
dinner. In this connection, we feel
privileged to thank Mrs. Ed. Bing-
ham, chairwoman of the refreshment
committee, and her assistants, Mes
danes Willard, Littlefield, Stuber,
Field, Corwin, Miss Blanche McCum-
sey, and numbers of others whose
names we have not at hand, for the
splendid service they did in serving
the food. Among those who partook
of the dinner were hundreds of lit
tie folks of the Public Schools who
seemed to have a first-class time re-
gardless Of the fact that the rain was
pouring down outside.
At the conclusion of the dinner,
the Clio Cornet Band gave a fine
musical program in the high school
room, and the editor of this paper
had the privilege of introducing the
speaker of the day, Rev. ]. H. Green,
Of Mt. Pleasant. Mr.. Green's ad-
dress was on the timely topic, "Pat-
riotism in Time of Peace" and was
abounding throughout in knowledge,
in analytical and understandable
philosophy, and in forceful eloquence
and wit. 1t was mental and moral
tonic, as delightful as it was valu-
able, leading to higher ideals of our
country, better realization of the
accomplishments of our countrymen,
and keener sense Of our obligation
to both. During the address Mr..
Green was frequently interrupted
by applause and at it's conclusion
was warmly congratulated by num-
bers of our citizens. Since the day
Of the picnic the hope has been fire.
quently expressed to the writer that
we might have Rev. Mr.. Green with
us on some future occasion, a hope
in which we most fully share.
The audience gave rising vote of
thanks to the band boys, to the
speaker, to the ball players (whom
the weather did not permit to play)
and to all who had helped in any way
to make the day enjoyable. And
now, while the elements were so
unfavorable' on this occasion, we
know that the idea Of a community
picnic is all right, and with some
notifications which experience has
suggested, we hope to be able to
participate in a bigger and better
one next year. In conclusion, we
would acknowledge, on behalf of
the community, the hard work done
in the interest Of the picnic by A. j.
u Littlefield. the general chairman.
