METHODIST PICNIC
Was Held at Dewey Park, Though Boy
Scouts Were in Orange.

Rain. and buckets of it at that, did
not prove a very effective barrier TO
the seventy five or so members OF tne
Methodist Sunday school who left on
Saturday noon for Dewey park, en- the
Montpelier road, to spend the rest OF
the day, for they went and they also
had very good time, all opinions OF
the boy scouts to the contrary
Just why the members OF the BOY
scouts did not have good time VIII
now be disclosed. In the first place,
the picnic was planned to be held at
Orange Heights, and so the boys were
sent up there Saturday morning to
fix up the swings, and all that sort OF
thing. They walked up, distance OF
about six miles, fixed up everything
for immediate occupation, as 1t was
expected that there would be large
crowd. And then, contrary to their
carefully laid plans, it began to ram,
at first with hesitation, then with de-
termination.
Meanwhile, the picnickers had de-
cided, when it began to look lowering,
that Dewey park would be a much
more suitable place to get rained on,
for it was about three miles nearer the
parental home, and so they were taken
there by autos of their friends. Then
the boys at Orange Heights had to
take down all their fxings and come
back to town, being brought back mere
in automobiles.
Then the rain came and it stayed,
during the rest of the afternoon, prae,
tically. However, the downpour did
not dampen the spirits Of the furmak-
ers. and they played several games
both old and new The younger ones
were treated with ice cream, which
helped to make up for some OF the
other things they lost. There were no
races. or any of the other games that
form the program for usual Sunday
school picnics, but this was only incl
