E. Church and the Fisher Bible
Glass "picnicked' at Broadkiln
Beach. 1t was announced that the
men would prepare fried chicken
supper for the ladies'. At any rate
everybody was on hand at 6:3O in
front of Robert and Margaret
Blacks cottage. Harry EdgingtOn
supervised the making of a sand ta-
BILE, but the family was so large that
Milton Graves had to eat from a
boat. Will Wagamon put his feet un-
der the porch; Charles LOtland sat
on a fence; Joe Lank dressed in a
bathing suit and waded about in the
water trying to keep the insects
from biting while he worked on the
back of a white leghOrn, grown by
George Marshall. VIM. Mears, II,
and Charles Barker had to wait for
the second table, but Joe Lank ate
again to keep them company. Leon
Black and some assistants made a
galvanized tub full of lemonade. Ell
mer DickersOn took first prize in
the bag race and Irving King star
red in the potato contest. George
Atkins and Dan WagamOn fought a
paper duel. Cleveland James kept
Charles Fisher supplied with huck-
leberry pie. When it was good and
dark and most everyone had had a
swim the bags of "cobs" and pieces
of wood were piled high to provide
for a hot dog roast. Every one was
already full but no one wanted to be
counted a quitter Holman Wilt
bank was inquiring what the big
lantern off Cape May was and John
Marvel explained that it was the
moon. The two preachers present
wondered if it would be a good idea
to hold Sunday school on moon
light evenings at Broadkiln. Cornell
ius Wiltbank, Lloyd Hurley, Fred
Pepper, John POstles, Joe Robbins
and others along with their families
and those mentioned before were all
in the party. After Lottie WagamOn
led in the singing of a fine familiar
song, Bob Black pushed the car out
of the sand and hoped everyone
would come again.
