healing elements which soothe and heal
the infected membranes and stop the

with Mrs. r. M. Jones as hostess. hut
owing TO the doubtful condition of the
roads In that direction it was believed
wiser TO postpone the trip until some
later date.
On the way to Belgrade a number
OF interesting birds were seen by alert
observers, the most unusual being the
American bittern.
Although the woods about the lake
are now at the height of their beauty
and many rare specimens of ferns ana
I MOWERS beckon the nature lover into
the open, there was apparently nothing
quite so irfesistibly appealing to the
pro Grub on Wednesday as the brisk
nre% which glowed cheerfully in the
fireplace in the large, hospitable living
room OF Mrs. Hams camp. where the
picnic lunch was served.
during brief business session the
following officers were elected to serve
Tor the coming year: President, Mrs.
Blanche Barrows; vice president, Mrs.
Mabel Thompson: secretary, Mrs. Hor-
ace Sturgfs; treasurer. Mrs. Herbert
Mrs. Trafton reported the excheouer
to be in fairly healthy condition at
the present time with no outstanding
bills.
Following the adjournment of the
business meeting a trip was taken to
the top of Smiths Hill, where the out
look over Belgrade and it's surround
Ing lakes is believed by many to equal
or even excel the wonderful panoramic
view Of the better known Morrison
Heights = ;
While making the climb to the top
OF the hill pair Of beautifully marked
twallow-tail butterflies were discov-
cred, which were hopefully accepted as
favorable omen Of warmer days.
On the homeward journey, which
was taken in a leisurely manner, the
party stopped to watch a busy colony
Of bank swallows while darning in and
out of nearby building; those mas
tiers Of aviation. the barn swallows,
dipped and wheeled and executed many
difficult and intricate feats Of flying
with the skill and ease which comes
only with thorough understanding OF
the art Of air navigation.
