Some time ago George had fall on
the ice which knocked one shoulder
out of commission, and only last
week his legs went out from I'M
der him again, but with rare pres
ence of mind, which was equalled
only by that of Uncle Opie Dill
dock, he planned not to land on the
injured shoulder, but some other
part of his anatomy which, proved
to be his head. For moment he
saw stars, the sun and the moon, in
fact the whole armament, After
gazing for a moment. or two on
these celestial bodies he was awak-
ened from his reveries by voice
which at first sounded like---eF'-

That Father and Son banquet Civ
en- last Friday night by the Boy
Scouts was credit to them, not
only to the, Boy Scouts but to the
town Of Newbury, The banquet hall
was the Congregational vestry. The
tables were arranged in a hollow
square, decorated with the American
flags and loaded with seatables which
none but the best cooks q, Newbury
Know how. to furnish, Seated q at
these tables were eighteen sons and
eighteen fathers, and the guests of
honor were five boys from Dart
mouth College. After the repast, to
which ample justice was given, Mr.
Frank R Meserve took charge of the
post-prandial d exercises, and as
,toastmaster won by his ease, grace
and wit, the admiration of all. He
broke the ice and soon every man
and boy .werelin the swim, Chauncy
sDepew, would have done no better!
The Dartmouth boys responded to
his call and gave, glowing tributes
to fathers, who pay the bills; the
responsibilities they have in rearing
their, sons, and the duties the sons
owe otheiro fathers. The, spontaniety
of the Boy Scouts Welch, q South
worth, Mcneil, Olmstead and White
hill, proved-their- ability as after
dinner speakers, as we'll as reflected
iigreat credit on the school, as well
as opened, the eyes of those present,
Ijtaxpayers of Newbury, that they
were getting value received. This
lIspontaniety was contagious Men
spoke in that room whose voices are |
seldom heard in public. Fathers
reached the level d of their sons,
which, perhaps, we can say without
hurting anyone's feelings was a
Itrifie higher than they ever got be-
fore and went away with the feel
ling that in the future they would
get better acquainted with them,
and have more things in common.
Glowing tributes were given Rev H
S Ives and Principal D Jones for
their work, coupled with energy and
zeal in shaping these young minds
