Smyrna times., 1931-06-24

at Woodland Beach says: "Arriv-
ing at the beach, the party found
there waiting them a big excursion
from Smyrna and also another
from Centreville, Md. The $500
people on the grounds found NO
trouble in enjoying themselves
however. and the day passed off
very pleasantly. Centreville lassies
looked soft eyes at the Smyrna
boys, and Smyrna lassies were
charmed into obedience by the sty-
lish derbies of the city boys, and
there was the usual amount of
romping, flirting, croquet playing
and ice cream eating, and many a
young man wended his way to his
country home, sorrowfully jingling
the depleted cash in pockets, and
wishing for an excursion every day
in the week" "Sorrowfully ling-
ling the depleted cash and wishing
for an excursion every day in the
week" IS good flight of fancy, but
no more imaginative than the 9th
er statements. Our Smyrna boys
and lassies will be surprised to
learn that they were there at all.
