had a good time. that she felt sort
Of reverence for things over there
on account Of their age. Incident

she gave was in the nature of Inn
pressions, at the different points of
interest, such as the thrill at the ex-
element OF landing at Calais, exper-
fences in Paris, wonder at The beauty
of the tomb of Napoleon, and inter-
est in the painting Panorama of

there.
She, like all who go over, loved
Geneva and the lake, Montreau, In
terlaken and saw with awe the cas-
tie Of Chillon, and climbed by train
and car to the top Of Youngfrau.
Those who had been there went
again with her and those who never

New Plans Made
For THANKSGIVING

For many years it has been the
custom at Bethany Baptist church
to observe the Thanksgiving season
by holding a social at the church at
which time the members of the par
ish and all others interested in the
movement have brought offerings of
cooked food, vegetables, canned
goods, chicken. and any other food or
money. This gathering has been held
on the Monday preceding Thanks
giving and Tuesday and Wednesday
an efficient committee have packed
baskets which have been taken to the
needy families of the town. This
year they propose to change their
program somewhat. Next Sunday
they wish all who desire to particle
pate in this activity to bring a
Thanksgiving In money. and this will
be placed in the hands of commit
tee who will attempt to use it in, the
lest way possible. A part of 1t will
be used at Thanksgiving and the re-
mainder kept for emergency calls
which are occasionally being received
throughout the year. The committee
hopes that this change will in no way
affect the general interest in the
cause.
