One would think
with a holiday week
end just passed that
there would be
much Of a social nature to tell
about. On the contrary there
seems to be a lack Of it for
many people are content to
stay at home, not adding to the
congestion Of roads and places
where plenty Of people go. So
far as we know there were no
holiday happenings OF a sad
nature and it brings thankful
ness to all to have it so. Seem
ingly the traffic was light,
judging from a front porch
grandstand, but, Of course, the
highways were crowded at
times. The Fourth Of July is
happily over. Now we look to-
ward Labor Day and the ter
mination Of congested places
and roads.
It Is on Friday that David
Fitchett and Jackie Sheafer
start on their long trek to the
Boy Scout Jamboree, which is
being held in California this
year. and not very far from
Los Angeles on a ranch. Our
contingent will be almost lost
in that crowd Of $4,000 scouts
from all parts Of this U. s., but
they will have just as much fun
as the next one. The boys go
ont BY the B. and o. Railroad
BY the southern route, seeing
Grand Canyon end many points
Of interest. They will spend a
week at The Jamboree, where
all kinds Of scouting will be
done and much on exhibition.
. with entertainments each eve
ming. Leaving there the boys
will go to the northwest corner
Of this country. visiting Gla-
cier Park and all of the inter-
esting places dear to the hearts
of boys. They will have a stop
in Chicago on the way back
and after three weeks absence,
will be welcomed home by their
families. This is a wonderful
opportunity to see and learn
under the most favorable con-
ditions.
A new citizen came to town
last Thursday in the person of
Timothy Dukes Wolfe, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Wolfe.
Timothy was born in Memorial

Mrs. Mamie Colvin, one of
Americas most distinguished wo-
men, after nine years as President
OF the National WOman's Christian
Union has retired from that high
office. David said in the 45tb
Psalm: my tongue is the pen of
a ready writer"
There is no woman Of our GEN
Grafton Of whom that could so
truthfully be said as of Mrs. Colvin.
The Psalmist also described her
when he said: "a word fifty spok-
en- is like apples of gold in pic
lures of silver" No situation has
even arisen in personal or public
life, on the platform or off, when
Mrs. ColVin was not equal to the
situation, and spoke with elOauence
and edification. She was always
prepared.
Her husband is DR.. d. Leigh
Colvin, the distinguished President
of the International Reform Fed
GRAFTON.
What a team they have been
for nearly half a century.
Consideration of health led to
her decision at the last national
convention that she would not be
q candidate for reelection at the
Seattle Convention, but her name
will ever shine with Frances viii
