TO WELCOME OUR SOLDIER
BOYS, SAILORS AND :
NURSES.
Reception and Dinner Planned For
July A At Rising Sun.

rousing welcome to our bows and
girls OF the Sixth District and it is
hoped that every family in the Dis
trict and those outside who are
members of our Red Cross, will Join
in this celebration on this. the
Nations Birthday, and make this
day long to be > remembered. We
think we can hear the women talk
ing about what they will bring for
/ the dinner, for they will each want
to bring the biggest and best chick
ems, the cake in which they excel in
making, those delicious home made
rolls, their pet" preserves and
pickles,-the kind that SO and so
| likes,-then they will all be busy
hurrying up their peas, potatoes and
beets so they will be just In their
prime for that day of all days. But
what's the use of saying all this, for
we know the kind of dinners our
women of the Sixth are famous for,
and for this purpose we are sure
they will join in and all together
make it feast fit for king''-as
it is given in honor of men mightier
than Kings. We look for every
face to wear the smile that won't
wear off, and to make this happy
day. Report to various chairmen
what you would like to give or to
collectors, Perhaps you will wonder
what the men of the District are
going to do. They will wear the
smile of welcome, finance the affair
and lend hand on every committee
to do the hard work of putting up
tables, serving ice cream and in all
other places where they will un-
doubtedly be called on.
Rev. w. G. Rooms will be toast
master and a number of the boys
and girls are expected to respond to
,toasts.
The occasion will be enlivened
with music by the Band, Mems and
Girls Orchestra and singing of
patriotic airs.
In the evening an entertainment
will be given, with special music, at
which time Ice Cream, Cake, Sand
wiches, Lemonade, Punch and Ice
Cream Cones will be on sale.
Dinner will be served to the public
at reasonable price to be announ-
ced next week. Proceeds of the
days sales to be toward a suitable
memorial for the soldiers of Cecil
county, when decision is made as to
what that will be.
During the war we were all asked
to do our bit,' and we all did in
one way or another. Now that these
boys and girls, our representatives,
are back home with us the Com
mittee asks you as resident of the
