The Chicken Pie Supper given by
the ladies of the church Wednesday
night, Nov. "a, was financial success
and we'll patronized. TIE snow storm
the day before prevented many at
tending, as the usual way Of travelling
was quite impossible over some OF the
roads. The custom of a Chicken Pie
Supper originated with the Baptist Ia
dies. but after the churches united, II
was thought best to continue the prac-
tice by giving the supper as an annual
even ito occur sometime during the
latter part of the pear. The present
high prices was sufficient reason for
the ladies' to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of continuing the custom this year.
One good sister felt that a great
many would be disappointed in sach a
case. Consequently she tried her tel
ephone to inform herself of the opin-
ion of those who might have chickens
to donate. Within a short time she
was able to report that rs chickens
were ready-donated free. The future
success of the supper was assured. The
menu consisted OF chicken pie, dress
Ing, potatoe, gravy, squash, vegetable
salads, cranberry sauce, bread, butter,
delicious cakes, doughnuts cookies and
coffee. The lecture Castles in the
Air" by State Librarian II. K. Dunnack
of Augusta followed the supper. Some
delay was caused in this part of the
evenings program as the speaker
missed the auto stage at Skowhegan
and was obliged to cover the distance
OF IL miles by team. The opening
numbers Of the program was a mixed
chorus under the direction OF Mrs.
Austin. The speaker was then intro
dnced by Rev Mr.. Johnson. In his
happy interesting and serious way he
bel dhis listeners throughout the lee
ture. He is fine speaker and the
subject was highly enjoyed. Mr. Dun
