LINCOLN is. PRAISED
AT CITIZENS GATHERING
Chaplain Montgomery Outlines
Career of Great Emanci-


The life and deeds of Abraham Lin
coin were praised in speech and song
at a joint celebration of the great
emancipator's birthday anniversary
held At the Park View School last
night by members of the Petworth
and Park View citizens associations.
President ]. r. Carr Of the Petworth
association presided.
Rev. James Shera Montgomery,
chaplain Of the Senate. outlined the
career of Lincoln, dwelling upon his
early life and the fundamental traits
Of manhood. which he then estab-
lished, which carried him through
the periods of stress and storm which
came later. Dr.s Montgomery showed
that the magnificent record made by
Lincoln as President, eliminating in
his martrydom, was the result of q
firm moral character built in youth,
and without that early training his
standards as President could not have
been as high.
Under direction of Mrs. Aurora NJ.
Edwards and Mrs. Robert D. McElroy,
q program of patriotic numbers was
presented, including the reading Of
Miss Tarbelrs HE Knew Lincoln"
by Mrs. Edwards, and choir singing
by the Methodist Church choir, under
the direction of Mrs. McElroy.
Rev. John Walter Smith Of the Park

J tribute free to prospective patrons
are being superseded by full-sized
souvenir packages. This change in

were too cute to put to a utilitarian
purpose. And If perchance they were
used, there was just about enough for
two portions. and the rest of the
family got angry and became eternal
foes of that product. Such is psy-
chology.
;, Food manufacturers found that the
cute little packages did them prac-
tically no good, and besides. they cost
about as much as full-sized packages,
for special machinery was needed for
their manufacture. So now manufac-

sized souvenir packages or else Of
