ANCIENT CUSTOM WILL BE REVIVED
Middledeld Folk to Garry Din-
 ner to Church

An old New England custom, one which has considerable interest to New Britain people who originally came from Middlefield, will be re- NlNed tomorrow when members of the Federated church of Middlefield will carry their dinner baskets to church and remain throughout the entire day.
 Years ago. before anyone ever dreamed of Surday movies and horseless carriages had not even been predicted, Sunday was a day set aside for religious worship ex- clusivcly and nothing but the family dinner was permitted as a supple mentary activity. Worshippers, car rying guns and keeping wary eyes peeled for redskins, hiked many miles to church. They carried lunches and the women carried charcoal footwarmers in winter. The men sat on one side of the church and the women on the other. Two hour sermons and half hour prayers were the vogue.
 All this will not be revived at Middleield but the whole day of service will come into it's own to- morrow, in reminiscent celebration of the ancient custom, The Feder- atcd church consists of Congrega- tionaists and Methodists. The wor- shippers will join in the morning hn oI, the minister will pronounce the bcnediction in modern and not ancient style. and then lunch bas- kcts will be open and fried chicken. ham sandwiches and hot coffee will make their appearance.
 Tales of T knew him when" and Don't you rcmemhor?" will en- livon the reunion. It is not likely there will be any trading of auto mobiles, but that old timers who plan to attend will recall the days when the deacon swapped horses with the vestryman between services.
 A sermon. which smacks of more modern flavor thar that of the days to be recalled by the ancient GUS tome, will be delivered by Rev. Charles s. Applegath, taking as his subject "One-way Traffic"
 A photographer will appear and q modern photograph will be taken.
 New Britain residents who came from that section are expected to join the reunion.
