BLACKBIRD COMMUNITY SOCIAL
Held Wednesday Evening at Home
of Mrs. VIM. Fortner and Was Event

Held Wednesday Evening at Home
of Mrs. VIM. F0rtner and Was Event
Black bird, March 22- The crown-
ing social event Of the church year
which is known as "The Dime Social''
was held Wednesday evening, March
16, at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Fortner at Blackbird. The So
cial opened with short program con
slstlng Of prayer, several recitations
and solos. Then Mrs. Fortner, who
had given out sixty-two dimes six
weeks ago, called the names of each
dime worker who told how much she
or he had made and how they had
made it. After the workers had
handed in their money the basket was
passed to other folks present and
when the proceeds were counted it
was found S315 had been turned in.
Mrs. Fortner served a most delicious
supper to her workers and friends
who numbered somewhat over 100.
The supper consisted Of chicken salad,
boiled ham, potato chips, Maryland
biscuits, rolls, pickle rings, mints,
salted nuts, and coffee. To Mrs.
George Woodkeeper who had made
$50, Mrs. Fortner presented a toy
automobile because she had said she
thought she could sell more if she had
had a small car. To Mrs. William
Reynolds who had next highest of
$20.59, she presented book. These
were not presented as prizes but gifts
of appreciation. At late hour the
guests departed expressing their en-
joyable evening and hopes of being
on hand next year. Mrs. Frederick
Heinold composed and read the fol
lowing poem:
Again Miss Annie gave out dimes
So once more we have met
To tell the folks what We have made
And keep Blackbird Church open yet
So the dime social is now on hand
Behold its splendid workers
On the other hand the buying hand
Never considered shirkers.
Hurrah for Lady Woodkeeper;
She is true gold,
And always has more money
Than any two hands hold.
Miss Katie delivered mail
And did her sewing too
And she sold all her aprons
And I'll tell you not a few.
What workers are the Ethels
So good their cakes and pies
Phyllis made some angel food
II looked so good it opened your eyes.
! sold Miss Katie candy
Billy Spicer says cheat
And in giving folks poor weight
That | cannot be beat.
Miss Lippincott's doughnuts
We're round and fat and good
And I'm afraid the buyers
Ate much more than they should.
Ernestine sold fudge and rolls
and we know they good
Cora Heinold wanted some
So kept on buying homemade food.
l don't know all the workers
But for the rest I'll say
Whatever it was they sold
While they were selling they held full sway.
The buyers! oh the buyersI
They have bought all we sold
If it wasn't for the buyers
Well come up short gold.
We thank you all good people
For the help and things you've bought
For if it had not been for you
All our work would have come to naught.
So hurrah for Mrs. Fortner
Who treats all grand
And let all promise her
That again next year will be on hand.
