PICNIC FOR CHILDREN.
Ensign 01ive Childera Undertakes
Outing for Little Folks.
Ensign Oliv Childers of the iSalva

nic for children at Riverside Park on
June 19. Tho event is - designed
primarily for the little youngsters
who have no organized way of enjoy
ing an outing "just among them
selves, and there will probably bo
means of transportation to the park
for those who may not be able to pro
vide their own means of conveyance.
It is to be a big day, with a dinner
for all and a general good time. Miss
Childers expects that there will prob-
i nbly be as high as 200 guests,
. Thoin will nAjtnecaii ir no e
There will necessarily be some ex
pense involved in the undertaking and
to meet this the "kettle" will prob
ably be put on the Btreets and the
generous public of La Grande will be
depended upon to do the rest.
This is a great idea as it will give
many children the opportunity of a
day with nature and they will bo un
der good care and influences and have
a time they will long remember.
