Banquet to Soldiers

The banquet and reception for the
returned soldiers and sailors Of
Lambertville, was held last evening
in St. Johns hall, with about two
thirds of the total number in the army
and navy service in attendance.
Many were too far away to permit
their attendance at this gathering, it
not being thought that any were over
looked, as every effort was put forth
to locate each one.
Captain Richie, of New Brunswick,
who is active in the formation of the
American Legion, made an address,
and Mayor Theodore Balderston gave
the city's welcome to the men. The
banquet was furnished by Reynolds,
Trenton Caterer, and the music by
Joiner's Orchestra, also of Trenton.
The social and dance that followed
was well attended, each soldier and
sailor having tickets at his disposal,
SO that his sweetheart or anyone
whom he might wish to have at the
dance could be there.
The hall was beautifully decorated,
and will be open this evening for in
spection by the public, before the
things are removed, Thomas Mount
ford, of this city, did the decorating,
and the stage setting was construct
ed especially for the occasion, with
the assistance of Commissioner An
drew Foltz and D. Chetwood Van
Solver. The tables, walls and ceiling
were gorgeous in the national colors,
supplanted by the divisional insignia
painted by Della Barber, of the local
schools.
The most satisfactory thing to
the committee, of which DR.. j. Glib
son Petrie was chairman and Alfred
l.. Crimson, secretary, was the ready
response of the public with funds to
provide the banquet and other fea-
lures. No general solicitation was
necessary, much of the money being
handed to members of the committee
voluntarily. The accounts will be
audited and report issued shortly.
Should there be any surplus it will
go toward the purchase of a bronze
tablet containing the names of all the
local men in the service.
