together these days can be al
most an unsurmountable task,
what with difficult travelling and
everyone being kept busy with
every day routine. The SWANS
probably counted in this get
ting together and it is the re-
suit of much planning and some
determination on the part of
those from such distances. Mr..
and Mrs. Alfred Swain and their
children, Bobby and Shirley
were home from Mississippi, Mr..
and Mrs. Marston Fox and daugh-
ter Barbara came from Buffalo,
N. Y, and DR.. and Mrs. Robert
Potts and children, Diane and
Bobby of Chester. Connecticut,
completed the family circle.
The news of the war brings a
thrill to us that it is going along
successfully, but there is no thrill
to those whose loved ones have
made the supreme sacrifice. The
news of the death of George
Jester in France went like wild
fire last week and the regret was
very general that such fine and
useful personality should have
passed from this earth all too
soon. The community has ex-
pressed its sympathy to his mo-
ther, Mrs. George Jester of
North Walnut street.
Two early fall weddings are
in the offing and the news of the
details will be of local interest,
so watch for them.
Already the girls are getting
off to school. Adele Warren
leaves tomorrow as the first one.
The boys are still missing from
school roll call. Adele will con-
tinue her course in journalism
and there should be bright fu-
ture for such a studious person.
Labor Day brings the official end
of summer and school is the first
consideration thereafter.
Until next time, 1 am,
Always the same
