Chadwick's opinion, the picnic was
very good, but hardly as much fun as
having 15-pounder catch hold of your
hook. Third and Fourth Vice Presi-
dents George Cook and Alex Young
were unable to make the trip from the
east, but sent their representative in
the person of Georges son, Charles
and a friend. They drove in Friday
afternoon and visited Dick McGilliv-
ray before going to the outing.
Fifth Vice President George Turner,
secretary of the picnic committee,
put in a long 16-hour day, mostly be-
hind the Packard booth. Sixth Vice
President James MCGOWAN and

midway by groups of old friends that
they missed couple of events.

curly headed beauty for first prize and

of chap, taking everything in stride,
but Jim was great source Of amuse-
ment to the crowd when he did bit
of fancy skidding on the dance floor.
They are the sons of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Hyder of 1927 Hazel street,

dance to take second place. Third
