 The Chautauqua course is over and many feel that the best talent ever given in Stafford was, this year, pre- sented to this community. On Thurs day afternoon and evening the Clarke Concert Party, talented trio, gave an excellent program of instrumental and vocal selections from the old com pOsers. Dr. Frank Bohm, who lectur- ed on Thursday evening, has been call ed a thought stimulatOr, and this he surely is. Journalist and historian, having personally searched for the best tidings in Europe and Mexico during and since the war, he has a wealth of worth while information which he brought to us under the subject, Good News" He advocated a union of states for Europe and a life for every human being plumb ed by the golden rule. Dr. Bohm charged America to hold so high her idealism that, in these days of unus- ual temptations, she permit brotherly love to dominate her dealings with others, putting far behind the selfish thirst for exploitation. The forum conducted after the lecture brought out helpful suggestions in selecting our newspapers since they so largely influence ones thought. On Friday afternoon Miss Helen Waggoner de- lighted good sized audience with readings. The rain poured in torrents ! dampened her hearers appreciation of her remarkable gift for impersona- tiOn. The University players from | West Virginia gave pleasing little fantasy, "The Weaver of Dreams" " preceding Miss Waggoner's recital and in the evening produced very credit ably the comedy drama Turn to the l Right" This attracted the largest ton nf fEn iCrh Ivy praised. Saturday was children's day and it was a delight to see their pleasure. The Junior Chautauqua worked hard and presented their pa geant, "Conquests of Peace," with music and song, folk dancing and dialogue, tableaux and pretty cos tumes. Wallace Havelock, clever clown and juggler, then entertained The little tots from two years up had a wonderful afternoon. The closing entertainment on Saturday night was not only unique and much of it ex- ceedingly beautiful, but of merit as an educational feature. Miss Mildred iLeo Clemens, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, gave her lec- ture on Happy Hawaii" Many wis it's to those islands have fitted Miss Clemens to bring to her audiences the . past and present history of that island group and it's people. With the aid o1 stereopticon slides, and exquisitely colored moving pictures one gained g vivid impression of what attracts SC many tourists to that verttable garden of the Pacific. The seething, fire lii masses of molten lava, as one gazed into the two mile wide crater of old Kilauea, will never be forgotten. Five native Hawaiians accompany Miss Clemens and skillfully render theil native music with dances. Friday was tag day and the Juniors collected one hundred and forty three dollars for z definite local use along the line ot Echildren welfare work Sunday was rainy and threatening day but { : | nnndlrr rn,r,,nhnu. nt nthondnd +hn HruilirrI,
