cream from a nearby soda fountain,
cake, sandwiches. sailed almonds, ana
iced tea were provided for buffet
lunch. Everybody had lovely time.

events which ever tend to prove that
this world is not such big world
after all, was that Mr.. and Mrs. Ayres

function in the car Of Representative

Ohio (Which includes the city Of To-
ledo) and during the drive 1t was dis
covered that the parties had lived and

ances of auld lang syne in that part
of the country.

thusiasm Of these Westerners." The

everlastingly. telling the virtues Of

history. its undreamed OF potential
