Blinds Store Picnic
Last Sunday over 800 persons
gathered at Camp Coburn, in re-
sponse to an invitation extended to
them to attend Blinds store picnic.
For many, this was their first visit
to this delightful spot; for others it
was like a pilgrimage to the old
home, for here they lived again
those days of long ago, when they
attended Coburn school. Whether
scenes were new or familiar young
and old came prepared to enjoy the
day to the fullest extent, and no
sooner had a sufficient number as
sembled than the bachelors were
seen arrayed against the benedicts
in game of hand ball Naturally
the benedicts were more accustom-
ed to the rigors of battle, and in the
first contest the victory was theirs,
and no doubt they would have held
the trophy for the second game, had
they not exhausted so much energy
securing reinforcements from the
festive board. The juvenile surf
board riders thrilled the crowd by
performing, despite the high and
turbid waters. The married men
sought to regain prestige by en-
gaging in tug-of war with the
h2chQlOrG and
done so had Nose Hilaman not
stopped, at the critical moment, to
loosen his belt. Mrs. j. r. Medley
and Mrs. c. M. Newberry emerged
with honors from the rolling pin
and nail driving contests, respec-
lively. Whether these Caleville
ladies owe their victories to native
ability, environment, or to practice,
we leave to the Imagination of the
reader. AS evening drew near it
was reluctantly that the guests de-
parted; each wanting to visit lit
tie longer; to play a little more and
to be part of that scene where ma
ture was at her best, differences
were forgotten and every activity a
good, clean sport. For those who
fingered after twilight, a campfire
was built and around it wieners
were roasted. and as the evening re-
past was enjoyed the day was re-
viewed and plans laid for that time
when another such day may be OBJ
served. Blinds, through this med
ium, wish to thank each and every
one who cooperated in making the
picnic the decided success that it
was.
