| We are told that we made a mistake
last week in stating that the supper
served in Dougan's hall at the close of
the program last Saturday was given
by the Red Cross, but that we should
have said it was furnished by the
wives, mothers and sweethearts of the
returning soldiers. We simply took our
cue from the posters distributed by the
committee advertising the affair.
