| We welcome you into our band of boys and
| girls DR.. Ernest Wallace. l suggest, Aunt
Julia, if you please, that we call him our
young physician. Delma Stanley, come

off states. Also Paul Herzer, we want to

cannot smile is like bud that cannot bios
| is day, and sobrety is night, and a smile
| is the twilight that hovers gently between

yesterday afternoon, when we took a stroll
! through the woods After walking for q
while, we came to q spring. 1t was indeed
beautiful spring, gushing out Of smooth,
flat rock in the hillside. The entire front
| of the spring was covered with soft vel

| a hedge of laurel trees, and large redbirds
| would dart back and forth through the trees
