Juggling baskets Of food!
But there's a good explana-
ton for it all. It's the day for
the annual Church Picnic

picnic" by chairman Charles L.
Taylor, 1859 Blenheim rd.,
folks will spread dinner cloths
on the ground like in years
gone by. A full schedule of
horseshoes, baseball, volleyball
and races are on tap. AS a
further inducement to "city-
bred" people, there'll be pony
and horse rides. Coffee, tea,
punch, and ice cream will be
furnished.
Assisting chairman Taylor
are: Charles briggs, Milton
Griffin, William Eva, Ray
Yaxley, AL Wick, Frank Main,
Melvin Martin, Lester Vought,
