The Baptist Busy Bees held a Joint
social and supper at Mrs. Ted Bur
tons and Mrs. Charles Tibbettsi home
Tuesday evening, April 18th. There
were thirty-fye present. A number
of old fashioned games were played
in which the old and young stood on
the same basis once more. Supper
was served upstairs in Mrs. Tibbetts'
home as the social had been held in
the lower half of the building. No
one knew what they were to partake
of first for the menu read as follow
ing. Easter Dream "a; Life Savers

to order before anyone was served.
The result was hilarious. Some sat
with cucumber pickles confronting
them while others viewed red lemon
ade, whipped cream, cake, sandwich
es. doughnuts or hot dogs. Every
ones appetite was keen after nearly
three hours of play and the result
was that the food disappeared like
wild fine and the Busy Bee treasury
was on very close margin to seven
dollars richer after every one had gone
