IN the afternoon at the home
of one Of the members and these gath
erings have proved to be very popular.
The guests assemble on the lawn and
the program is rendered in the open
air.
The committee that had charge of
the program Tuesday afternoon, con-
sisting of Mrs. Jean Rehaume, Will
Walker, Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Grow,
certainly deserve much cherdit for ar
ranging so interesting and pleasing
an entertainment as was presented.
The Greenbush unit has reputation
for doing things we'll and the men,
bers were certainly up to their usual
high standard Tuesday afternoon. The
first number was a violin duet by Lu-
cile Bertrand and Jeanette Rocheford-
These young ladies have real musical
ability and their number was exceed
ingly we'll rendered. Two readings
followed, given by Amanda Leander
and George Bedard, both of which
were much appreciated by the audi
ence. Miss Parmellia Normandin rem
dered vocal solo, Sweet and Low"
The little lady's song received much
applause which it we'll merited. The
next number was a violin selection
by Lucille Bertrand, jeanette and Oc-
taVia Rocheford. Mrs. Rocheford's
two daughters and her nieces, Melba
and Lucille Bertrand, play exception
ally WE'LL Some frst~ class concerts@
could be given in the ROCKFORD home.
Ada Jones and Rose Bedard gave two
pleasing readings. Their expression
| was very good. Bradshaw Mintiner,
| who is a pianist of much ability,
played selection. The members of
the unit were fortunate in having Mr..
>Mintiner with them for the afternoon.
The last number on the program was
presented by A. E.. Grow and he surely
surprised his audience. He appeared
in the role Of negro minstrel, emery
ing from a nearby cornfield with his
knapsack slung over his shoulder. He
entertained the audience by playing
the violin and relating humorous
stories, some Of which had personal
application. These local hits were
much appreciated. Mr.: Grow Ger
tainly furnished d clever vaudeville
act. If any nearby community wants
an evenings entertainment, we would
suggest that arrangements be made
with the Greenbush unit, because
plenty Of talent is to be found there.
County Agent Hammargren made
brief address. He emphasized the fact
that the Farm Bureau association
serves not only it's own members but
all the farmers in the county. Mr..
Hammargren reports that almost half
the callers at the farm bureau office
/ are not members. More than one half
) he men who have made arrangements
Cor securing picric acid are not men,
; ters of the farm bureau and it was
f the association which brought this
, project before the farmers. One car
5 load of the acid has been ordered and
funds have been collected to pay for it.
a The unit voted to place township
exhibit at the county fair. It is hoped
that the majority Of the townships
t will display because no one feature
adds as much as do the group exhibits
7. of the townships or the farmers clubs
2 At the conclusion Of Mr.. Hammar,
$ gren's remarks bountiful lunch was
= served. The next meeting of the unit
10 will be at the home of Louis Robidear
k on September 13.
