Survivor of Lake
Tragedy Makes Public
Version of Incident

Editor: Please allow me space in
your paper to make statement
Of what | witnessed during the
tragic accident at Round Lake last
Sunday a week ago. am moved
to this request because of the I'M
derstandable but incorrect rumors
some Of which have got into print
Editors note: Mr.. jenkins found
no fault with this newspapers Gov
eragel attempting to explain the
incredible catastrophe. 1t may be
some satisfaction to uniformed
friends of the deceased to know
these facts.
As regards the circumstances, a
few things must he kept in mind.
There was no liquor at the picnic,
or with the Round Lake party, and
no one arrived under the influence
of drink. No one ate too much, as
there was not a great abundance
of food, and, furthermore, shortly
after three o'clock eating was over.
The accident occurred around five.
The decision to go to Round Lake
was reached spontaneously on the
way home by the five who We're the
last to leave the picnic spot. The
Halls boat was perfectly sound.
There was no mention Of any one of
us five Of possible danger from the
number getting into the boat. There
was no panic or fright, or even
indication of either, beyond a com
ment from the girl sitting in the
bow that she was getting wet. The
boat did not capsize. but rather
filled from the front and left let
ting me (and | presume others

no outcries or even comments as
| entered the water. The lake was
warm and unruffled
We got into the boat thus: Mary

boat out a good distance from the
mooring post, started the motor,
and the boat Immediately started
moving at what then considered
a rapid speed in view Of the num-
Der of people inside, but made
no comment, being only inwardly
surprised at the power Of the motor
and the ways of boats.
The boat had not gone far when
Mary Charleston commented in
ordinary tones that she was getting
wet. o. c. said, Sit down" The
presumption here would be that
she made a gesture as If to move,
but it seems certainty that she
did not bulge; for o. c. spoke only
once, the boat did not make the
slightest irregular motion. and no
one else paid any attention to the
matter, not turning around to see,
not commenting. | myself thought
spray was tickling her. The boat
continued as before. Shortly Mary
spoke again, saying that water was
coming into the boat; and o. c.

Winond Minis
Sings All-Sdcred
Song Recital
BY CLARENCE H. RUSSELL


Singing just as well if not even
little better at the end Of her
program, Winona Minis, mezzO-
soprano, gave a recital Of sacred
music on Sunday evening, June %,
at St Peter A. NJ. f. church, spon-
sored by the Missionary society.
She began her well chosen pro-
gram with two groups of standard
sacred classics, reaching a splendid
dramatic climax in Mary Turner
Salters' The Cry of Rachel"
While her selections and inter
pretatiOns embraced many moods,
Mrs. Minis seemed to reach the
hearts Of her audience best in songs
like IF Jesus Had to Pray What
About Me-" and in 81 Thank You
Lord" In this latter song, the
singer made her listeners feel as
though she were totally unaware
Of their presence. 1t seemed to be
an intimate musical chat with her
Maker. Yet the rhythmical pattern
Of the music caused heads in the
audience to nod in time and feet
to patter gently against the floor.
Not only is Mrs. Minis the pos
SCISSOR of a very good voice, but
she handles it intelligently. She
knows her own limitations and she
does not 90 beyond them. There
was no forcing, no hard raucus
sound. Her singing is musical, her
interpretations are simple and sin
cerr, and therefore in good taste.
That the audience knew what
to expect was evidenced by the
fact that the church was nearly
filled in spite of drenching rain.
