NThe employees of the w. E.
Graves Garment Factory with a
number of invited guests spent We'd
nesday of last week at Warwick on
the Indian River, and had most
enjoyable outing. They carried with
them chickens, vegetables, etc, and
cooked them at the shore and they
ate around one large table the
fried chicken, chicken potpie, ice
cream and cake until all were sat
isfied and almost numb from the
load One of the employees wrote
the following lines describing the
event:
We are going to the beach,
HoOray, hOOray!
Pile into the ears
And away, away,
We have worked so hard to get our
work done,
We surely deserve a day of fun.
We rise in the morning,
First concern is the weather,
A slight breeze moving
To float a feather.
The sky is calm, and clear and |
bright,
1t fills our hearts with pure delight. |
Our next concern is for the lunch,
1t takes a lot to feed such a bunch;
But l think We'll have some pretty |
good pickin' "f
For the main dish of all we have is
chicken
Fried, and with potatoes ,dumplings
and such;
With perhaps some filings to make
a sandwich,
Cabbage and beans, hot biscuit and
pickle,
And all things good the palate to
tickle.
Then, if our appetites do not for
sake,
Well top it off with ice cream and
cake.
Away we go in cars and truck,
To get there first it is nip and tuck.
Blowing horns and passing by
An exciting time for ear and eye.
Nearly all our crowd went
Some took children or friend
For on day like this
There is joy to lend.
We had with us honor guests
father and mother,
Messrs. Jacobs and Grossman,
and no other.
We were glad to include them in our
party
And extend a welcome warm and
hearty.
One thing that kept the pleasure
down
Was because Aunt Della" stayed in
town;
She said she saw us every day,
So this time she would stay away.
After dinner they went in swimming,
The girls 5hd children and some of
the wimmin'. E.s...es.f
The day was clear, the day was, hot,
some backs and arms burned s1flkea
