Several in this neighborhood,
who seldom get away from home
moorings, attended the "Burns
Nicht" at the Burton high school
last Saturday as guestssof Mr.. and
Mrs. Comstock in their car. To
them goes a vote of thanks as 9th
erwise the folk would have had to
STAY at home, The COmtSocks are
more than generous in the use of
their car. Those who We're the
fortunate ones were Mr.. and Mrs.
j. w. Forrest and son, Jack, and
Mrs. and Mrs. E. B. Morrill,. The
whole evening was one round of
pleasure and your correspondent
is more than proud of the twenty
five per cent Of Scotch blood she
possesses. Tt is certain that there
will be a fine writeup about the
whole entertainment, but the i'm
pulse to refrain from adding few
words of appreciation cannot be
resisted. Every one, from Mr..
Ogilvy, the chairman, to the young
men who so deftly served the
banquet, did splendidly. The aud
fence could have listened at least
another hour to the music and
solos and have enjoyed much more
of the dancing. The assemblage
marched to the dining room to the
music of the bagpipes. There the
neat, tastefully arranged tables
We're most inviting. The banquet
was served plate style and was
well prepared and well served.
The coffee, cake and ice, cream
We're exceptionally good. All the
writer is sorry for is that the
wonderful haggis made two trips
across the end of the table where
the most excellent POSTMASTER
was seated and some did not even
get much coveted wee bit of a
taste. However, all enjoyed the
toasts even though they were dry.
All this brings to mind an excel
lent Scotchman who said: 81 ask
nothing better when | reach Heav-
Ell than a Highland welcome. -
The following is a real Scotch
recipe that all Scotch friends will
agree that it is about the best
that could be fed to babies, or any
one, for that matter. This was
copied from Scotch book
brought over by a Scotchman.
