Mr.. and Mrs. James Lester spent
Thanksgiving at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Baker in Nymore.
The program given by Mrs. Hans
com and her pupils Wednesday night
at Lavinia school house was decided
success. From the quick wit and
originality Of Richard Gibson, comic
and unconcerned readiness Of Viva
Cross, clear tone and perfect ease
with which Merle Hoar, Gertrude and
Walter Port, Robert La Douceur, Rus
sell Phillips, Bobbie Prather and Lo-
rane Gibson, performed their particu-
lar parts to the first experience Of
Little Robert and June Baird, with
their little Ratchet and doll-did this
entertainment by far excel anything
that has before been put on at this
school. The jig by Lillian Hoar and
Viva Cross in costumes of Rigs and
Jigs,' put a timely climax to the pro-
gram. The refreshment committee,
too (Mesdames La Deuceur, Baird,
Hanscom and Ellingson), did wonder
fully well in serving delicious lunch
of sandwiches, coffee, baked beans,
salad, pickles and cake--Mrs. George
Wood easily carrying off sweepstakes
on an almost perfect chocolate cake.
But we all know Mrs. Woods cakes.
A dance followed the program and
proved u great source Of enjoyment
to all. 1t certainly is shame, how
ever, that cutters wouldn't "cut" that
night, for, owing to this fact, the
crowd Of merry-makers were deprived
of the privilege of mingling with at
least two very pleasing personalities
who made the attempt but at the end
of the first half mile gave it up and
returned home.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. A. Wheeler enter
tanned at Thanksgiving dinner their
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Paul and Albert
Utech and families of Little Bass
Lake.
We are glad to learn of the decided
improvement in the condition of Mrs.
Cora Landray who has been suffer
ing from inflammatory rheumatism at
the home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. S. Wheeler, for the past two
months.
N. A. La Leuceur spent thanksgiv-
ing with his family on the farm.
Hot lunches are being served at
the noon hour to the students Of La
vinia school now. Under Mrs. Hans
CONS skilled management, the domes-
tic science classes prepare at least
one hot dish for their MONDAY meal
Hot cocoa is also supplied. Materials
are brought by the pupils from home,
and, with the aid of new oven for
the oil stove, this new movement is
being thoroughly appreciated. The
out new but simple recipes and note
preparation and food content of each
ingredient.
Mrs. Z. M. Satire took her son
Paul to Bemidji Friday where he was
to be treated for i'll effects of infan-
tile paralysis. The little fellow has
been partially deprived of the use Of
his left limb for some time. We soon
hope to see him walking again.
Miss Butler and pupils of Big Bass
school are to be commended on the
splendid program given at the school
house Wednesday night. A pie sup
per TO lowed from which the sum Of
SIS or Whereabouts was received that
will be used in putting on big
Xmas program and tree. 1t was a
bitter disappointment to all who knew
of these two entertainments of the
Lavinia and Big Bass Lake schools
coming on the same night. If we
can't cooperate or at least resort to
consultation now and then, we had
better subscribe for the Pioneer and
read.
Mrs. E. NJ. Satire has purchased
lately from the State Standard Pens,
fifty pure-bred single combed white
leghorn chickens. This flock is GER
tainly prize flock, and, true to guar
antee, the spring pullets are now lay
ing.
What is this we hear about a spell
ing match between Lavinia and Big
Bass Lake schools? Is it only for the
children? Why can't we make it a
regular old-fashioned spelling match
for all. We are glad Superintendent
McGhee came to our assistance and
is trying to give us occasion to get to-
gether once again on an interesting
occasion.
Jack McVane and Ed Baker, of N.Y.
more, were working in this locality
last week.
| We are almost positive we hear
wedding bells. If we don't what does
a hurried mysterious trip to our sis
ter state mean for one of our boys?
Suppose we will have to wait and see,
but beware "ye travellers of the
,1ipht.V we've inst laid in q sunnIu If
