Kchckahs Entertain
Three score or more Rebekahs
and as many invited guests en
joyed an evening of music, drama
and fun at the I. O O F. hall
last night, followed by a nice
Hoover lunch.
The program consisted of a
vocal duet by Mesdames Benfer
and Sherrett ; a tableau of George
and Martha Washington (Ivan
Curtis and Mrs. Sylvia Bernard);
a vocal solo by Miss Margaret
Curtis and a playlet, “ A Patriot
Girl,” with Mesdames Templeton,
Wehrley, Parsons, Buxton and
Hatfield and Messrs. Carl Curtis
and H R Bernard taking tin-
parts Then came a flag drill,
with song, by eight ladies in white,
followed by a tableau of the same
• ight ladies. Accompanied by
Russ«jll Beals, Newton Shipley
favored the audience with two
numbers on the violin and after
this came a beautiful tableau of
George Washington and thirteen
ladies, the later representing the
colonies. With another tableau.
"T h e Goddess of Liberty,” and a
vocal solo by Dr. Nixon, this ex
cellent program came to a close.
Assisted by ladies of the lodge,
Mrs. Humphrey, representing the
Golden Rod Milling company of
Portland then served a dandy
lunch, the breads and pastries be
ing made according to the Hoover
specifications, using largely flours
other than wheat. The lady cer
tainly knows how to bake good
breads and cakes.
A silver offering was taken for
the benefit of the Y . W. C. A.

sponsible for the excellence of the
program, as they planned it and
trained the performers.
