which they have no control, nor even

such conditions. But they are human
beings. They arc our brothers. We,
out Of our blessings Of peace, health

succor, and come quickly. Cold and
biting freezes come upon them some
two months or more earlier than they
come upon us. Hence the great need
for rapid response and action. Some

LEWIS SUNSHINE CHORUS

The stars in the big flag which
hangs in the Chautauqua building
fairly twinkled yesterday morning
and the folds OF Old Glory rippled

song and yells.
They trooped in each with bible
and wearing either blue or a red
ticket which was punched in true
Chautauqua fashion.
There was something doing from
the moment all arrived - and they
were punctual too.
1t was the Lewis Sunshine Chorus
to which all girls and boys under Is
years are welcome and eligible we
were told.
We had been invited to come and
then write about ii so the grown
folks and children who wasn't there
would know Just what was doing. We
slipped in by Mrs. Van SAINT and her
card puncher but Miss Jessie That
cher spied US aud decorated us with
a regular ticket.
This was the third rally but you'd
thought 1t about the hundi edith from,
the way everybody fell into the pro.
gram. At the first meeting the
children had been divided into two
companies and one contest is too SCI
which side can get the most num-
bers. Rs9uits were proudly es-
corted up front and given a card.
Then began the yells first all to.
gether. then the companies in com.
petition and then as a finale a yolun.
