And camped in rain or sunny

We roamed along the virgin streams,
And talked and thought and lived
together.
The birds would sing quite unafraid
An oblisato for our playtime,
Then sinking sun and red streaRed

Sweet night. as restful as the day

I know that IN that glad new land,
Midst lovelier sights and new affeo-

HIS friendly thought still turns my
way
To smile upon these recolleotions.
Somehow 4 know we'll camp again
Together in some peaceful clearing.
Good hope beams on my DINNER way
To show the brighter land I'm near

Tho days move on but dreams remain
Until the ven at last is riven,
And an its dark sides left behind
For tho unalloyed joys of heaven.

For the first time since its revival
by the director of Palatka Communi-

es of the band, the Girl Scout drills
and most important of all, the address
of ". P. Dineen, speaker of the
evening.
For their first number the band
played an old military favorit, "The
Washington Post March. This was
followed by several patriotic num-
bers, interespersed with singing led
by Mr.. Teeters. The speaker of the
evening, w. P. Dineen was introduced
by Howell Davis, who congratulated
Community Service on their work in
reviving the band, before introducing
the speaker.
Mr.. Dineen made a splendid adj
dress on the history of the flag, its
significance not only in American
history but in the history of the
world He gave a short but very force
full address and was received with a
great deal of applause.
Following this the Girl Scouts gave
their drills and salute of the flag
which was very impressive. During
their drill they sang "The Star
Spangled Banner, accompanied by
the band. These two troops of the
Scouts were lead by Mrs. Warner
Hamm and Mrs. Noah Tilghman
The Elks assisted in arranging
this splendid program.
