Local Associations Second An
nual Huge Success 4,
FUN CROWDED AFTERNOON
Sports, Swimming, Refresh
ments and Dancing Make Long
To Be Remembered Occasion

The Bennington Merchants associa-
tion held its second annual picnic at
Hedges Lake Thursday afternoon
with large attendance. Nearly all
the local merchants with their wives
and children were presents also a
goodly number OF clerks and invited
guests.
The cars left the village about
O'Clock, each one bearing a Banner
advertising the coming Dollar Day.
The water seemed to be the favor
ite attraction, and there we're plenty
of bathers during the afternoon.
Some we're real swimmers and others
were just ''bathers". No members
of the party were drowned although
two of the women folks Of the gather
ing had narrow escapes.
The baseball game between Doug"
Hawks grocers and Sam Solomon's
merchants proved to be OF great
intrest to both the ball players"
and the onlookers. "Doug's" grocers
finally defeated the clothiers al
though the latter team put up quite
a fight
The tug OF war between the mer-
chants and the clerks was the next
feature. The clerks tugged and pull
ed with all their might, but their
"bossess" finally succeeded In defeat
ing them.
There was watermelon contest for
the kiddies and also one for the
grown-ups. or the young boys who
participated, Bernard FienberB was
the first to dispose Of his share OF
watermelon. In the contest for the
grown-ups, Mike Comas OF The Fruit
land, won the race, and the other
participants we're SO jealous that they
accused Mike" OF "practicing up" for
the occasion with Pete" Felopelos'
melons
At the conclusion OF these stunts
Sam Caplan, Max Fienberg, lester
Nichols. Doug Hawks, Walter Stew
art and Charles Fienberg we're ex-
hausted and had to seek aid in the
various lunch baskets. Their appe-
tites satisfied they were ready to
take the ladies and younger men,
bers Of the party for boat ride.
BY that time Shea's Harmony or;
chestra arrived on the scene and
furnished some real live music for
dancing, which was enjoyed until a
late hour.
The local merchants had such sue
cessful picnic and such a general good
time that they cou'd hardly break
away in time to get back to Benning-
ton to open their places of business
this morning. To take peak into
the various stores this morning one
would almost think that the Merchants
and clerks had been on a spree or
"out all night" However, the gath
ering proved a success in every way
and the merchants are already plan
ming for bigger and better picnic
next year.
