“Social”
A birthday anniversary which date borders on the early camping time was observed this year by Matthew Earl Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed O. Brown in a real boyish manner. “Matt” was seven and with the omen of good luck invited eleven boys to come and play after school and partake of a tent party. The tent was the gift of his father and when refreshment time came the young campers welcomed two able assistants, Miss Charlotte Brown and Roxy Ward, who saw that they were served in royal style. The young westerners attending the party were Jay and Eddie Albright, Ted Kieckbusch, John Baldwin, Dick Bayles, Mike Gabisch, Tommy Cooley, John Graveley, Don McCarthy and Clifford Kruse.
