1t was most delightful day and l
am glad that I had the opportunity
of enjoying few hours with these
good people and had the pleasure of
knowing them better. These gather
irgs are helpful in inculcating the
spirit of loyalty among the men,

true patriotism is founded and build

more such occasions.
