The bars are kickless and the dancehall sirens are winsome maidens ' of the countryside. It is something more precious than the golden dust of those past years that has drawn the people here today. It is the remembrance of friend for friend, of neighboa. for neighbor the call of kin for kin. Trere is much of romance in this semi-centennial celebration. When you stop to think about it.
