Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Naylor enter
tanned tho Mems Bible class of st.
Pauls Methodist Episcopal church at
their home on last Thursday evening.
In addition to the members of the
class there was also present a number
who had been specially invited by the
host and hostess, making fifty-fve in
all. Addresses were made by Rev. w.
F. Bayle, pastor of the Protestant
Episcopal church and also by Rev. Ber-
nard Gibbs, pastor of st. Paul's. Mrs.
J. Gordon Mealy sang and Mrs. Paul
Naylor read. Refreshments were serv-
ed during the evening. The occasion
was a most enjoyable and profitable
one for all present.
The suggestion has been made that
one way to keep Oakland's streets
neat and mite better looking than
they have been for some months past
is for the authorities to enforce the
town ordinance, if such is in existence,
prohibiting the piling up on the side
walks empty ice cream packers, empty
soft drink and other kinds of cases,
which can be seen upon every hand.
Merchants and others handling and
dealing in this kind of merchandise
should appreciate the fact that the old
packers, cases and empty laundry bas-
kets detract from the trade that they
would perhaps otherwise enjoy should
these eye-sores be removed from the
public places where they are usually
stacked
