MODERN WOODMEN

BORS ENTERTAIN
G. A. R. QUARTET
MUCH ENJOYED
IN 4TH PROGRAM
BAPTIZING AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY IN INDIA
One of the leading attractions at
the celebration at the Mt. Scott Park
on the Fourth was the G. A. R. quar­
tet, composed of Messrs. Joseph
Henwood, J. S. Hamilton, J. E.
Chambers and F. Varner. Mrs. J.
S. Hamilton accompanied them at
the piano.
In the afternoon they sang “The
Little Brown Church in the Vale”
and “The Boys in Blue Are Growing
Old." In the evening their selec­
tions were “Wave on. Old Glory”,
“Old Black Joe” and “Unfurl the
Flag.”
/
The presence of this quartet was
a much appreciated link between the
time when our nation’s freedom from
slavery and her preservation to
unity was secured and the present
time when the world’s right to de­
mocracy was defended. No Fourth
of July is complete without the pres­
ence of these men of the civil war.
Mr. Hamilton was a cavalryman
in a southern division; Mr. Varner
was with Sherman’s army; Mr.
Chambers was one of the army led
by General Thomas, of Chattanooga
fame.

WITH FINE PROGRAM
AT ST. PETERS PARISH

The Fourth of July was celebrated
by St. Peter’s parish in a highly
elaborate manner. The. literary and
musical program was of very excel­
lent quality. The Declaration of
Independence was read by Miss
Mary McGinty. Solos were rondere«!
by Mrs. E. Holway and Miss Cather­
ine O’Brien. Musical »elections were
given by I-eo Delaney on the violin,
accompanied by Miss O’Brien, The
kinging of Mrs. E. Holway was
vociferously applauded.
The dinner served at noon was
toothsom«* and well managed under
the direction of Miss Mary McGinty,
assisted by the ladies of the parish.
Th«> amusements staged in St.
Peter’s hall were kept up until late
at night. These celebrations gain
momentum each year and show the
general good will an«l patriotism of
th«' people.
Mrs. Vardy and Mrs. Letcher were
most active in getting votes for the
cak«' donated by Mrs. Vardy. B.
McGinty, John McGinty and John
I Abo assisted down stairs while the
palm garden was managed by D.
Letcher in the hall. Others who
worked diligently for the success of
the undertaking were Mr*. E. Hol­
way, Mrs. GraHsnes nnd Mrs. Naudts.
E. T. Kcelan and wife were visi­
tors at St. Peter’s parish Sunday,
having just returned from their hon­
eymoon trip.
Mr*. I. Ahram, 5320 Eighty-ninth
street, is at home from a six-weeks’
visit with relatives and old school­
mate* in London and Seaforth, On­
tario, Canada. On May 24 she wit­
nessed a very pathetic sight when
the 18 remaining members of the
19th battalion, which consisted of
900 soldiers, returned home to Lon­
don after four years service in
France. She says the temperature
ranged from 85 to 100 most of th«'
time she was there. She spent one
day sightseeing in Chicago en route
home, There were 30 soldiers re-
turning honie on the train she trav-
eled on from Chicago and they, as
well a* the Canadian soldiers, give
groat praise to the Salvation Army
lassies and the Red Cross.
Shiloh Circle, ladies of G. A. R.,
enjoyed a very profitable meeting
last Saturday evening, although the
president, Mrs. ’ Alice Woodworth,
was absent. The chair was filled by
the senior vice-president, Mrs. Tussy.
New members are being added to
the order and they are soon in hopes
to have the largest membership of
all the Circles in Portland. Comrade
Baker was reported to be slightly
improved.

INTERESTING TRIP
BY AUTOMOBILE

companicd by Mrs. Alic«' Woodworth,
started on a motor trip, going to
St. Helens, where they stopped for
dinner; thence to Clatskanie, Mist

over Sunday to attend services. They

the Nehalem river. Mrs. Woodworth
reports good fishing on the Ne­
halem, having landed a good catch.

wishing a few days outing to try the
trip.
The ladies of the Millard Avenue
Neighborhood Unit, under the leader­
ship of Mrs. S. J. Merry, secured
the free lemonade and coffee for the
celebration at the Mt. Scott Park on
the Fourth. In addition to the lem­
ons and coffee (and coffee accessor­
ies) the ladies furnished 12 loaves
of bread and made them into sand­
wiches for distribution. They were
assisted by the Millard Avenue Feed
& Fuel Co., which donated 100
pounds of ice; by the Ideal Coffee
Co., which gave three pounds of cof­
fee; by the firm of Crum & Cham­
bers, which discounted 20 per cent
of the bill for lemons, bread, etc.,
.and by Roy Armstrong of the . Mil-
lard Avenue Drug Co., who contrib­
uted a subscription. A collection was
taken in the evening to defray the
expenses of the occasion and the
committee offered to reimburse the
ladies, but Mrs. Merry refused the
money, saying that the coffee and
lemonade hid been advertised as
free and that free it should be. Mrs.
Merry says she prefers to keep the
confidence of the public in the ve­
racity of the Millard Avenue Neigh­
borhood Unit. These loyal ladies
willingly gave their time and money
in the interests of the celebration.
