George Kriebel are injured as a
result of the craekup of Pilot Dan

men would have to hike over the

Victor near the plane. Victor
pointed to the body. The two in

Church Minstrel
Show Set Oet. 6th
An evening of fun and good
fellowship is in store for those
who attend the social evening at
the Federated Church Wednes
day night, Oct. 6, at 8 pm.
The program will be sponsor
ed by the drama club of the
; church, and will consist of a min
strel show entitled ‘Swanee Riv
er Minstrels”.
At any rate it will be fun to
try and to listen to their music
and wisecracks. There are eight-,
een in the cast. Refreshments!
will be served.
There will be an admission
charge of thirty-five cents for
children, and fifty cents for ad
ults. The proceeds from the en
tertanment will go to the treas
ury of the drama club and be
used to finance the other produc
tions planned for the coming
season, and for the purchase of
additional stage equipment. The
plays turned out by the club last
year, we believe, prove that this
is a worthy undertaking.
Tickets are on sale now, and
may be had at the parsonage, or
i from various children. Or they
may be obtained at the door.
. i Only two hundred will be sold
1 however, as the capacity of the
! house is limited.
