SONS MEET FATHERS ON EQUAL TERMS

FULLY ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE ASSEMBLE AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH THURSDAY

Occasion Being Annual Father and Son Banquet With Inspiring ‘Addresses on Important Topics.

With Secretary Nord of the Noble County Y. M. C. A. presiding fully one hundred fathers and sons enjoyed their annual banquet at the Christian church Thursday evening. The affair was a happy one. Hubert Sutton was drafted to take charge of the music and a number of appropriate selections were delightfully rendered during the evening. : The drawing card of the assemblage aside from the excellent chicken dinner served by the ladies of the Christian church was the address of Dr. Winfield Scott Hall, dean of the Medical department of Northwestern University famous lecturer and noted author on the subject of health. Rev. Risley of the U. B. church asked divine blessing and all sat down to a sumptuous repast after a song by the big audience. | When the meal had been discussed Chairman Nord called on Georgel Bryan, jr., a Ligonier school boy for remarks. Mr. Bryan iresponded, adopting for his subject “Dads That I have Known’”. The youthful speaker described about a dozen deficient Dads from the standpoint of the sons before he reached the ideal one. The Discourse was greeted with applause and won much favorable comment. Albert F. Turrell, who has won distinction in his public utterances along with his talks at meetings of the Ligonier Chamber of Commerce and the Lions Club confined his discusion to the relations which should obtain “Between Father and Son. The discussion was of great interest and made a deep impression upon his hearers. ’

. The next speaker C. M. Wertz principal of the Ligonier high school took up the relations of the boys and the schools and handled the subject in a masterly manner. Principal Wertz enjoys the full confidence of the boys under his training and it is well understood that his influence upon the youths is good. The remarks of Mr, Wertz won high praise. The address of Dr. Hall was altogether admirable and he has the happy factulty of impressing his hearers with the full meaning of the words he employs in his lecture. He is an elogquent speaker “who emphasizes his truths with expressive gestures, adding much to the force of his theme.

Dr. Hall in treating boy life from the adolescent period to that of manhood employed plain language in describing the ills that beset the youths of the age and it is unfortunate that every boy in Ligonier could Dot have been present to hear the admonitions propounded with such impressive emphasis. '

Thursday afternoon Dr. Hall delivered separate addresses to the boys girls and mothers at the high school building, but his vigor did not seem lessened for the address of the evening. : The meeting closed with the benediction pronounced by Rev. G. H. Bacheler of the Presbyterian church. Wedding Anniversary (Celebrated. Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John N. Shisler in Kimmeil] was celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary by the brothers and sisters and their families of Mr. and Mrs. Shisler.

Tha guests were from Goshen, Ligonier, Wawaka, Ailbion, Kendallville and Kimmell. The day was spent in visiting music and contests.

First and Second Boys Teams From Elkhart County Town Literally Smother Home Boys

The Ligonier high school first and second boys basketball teams have come up for air after being smothered Friday evening by the high school lads of Millersburg in a game billed with disaster for the locals. The scores made by #he visitors need not be mentioned. It is eénough to announce their complete victory. Whether the result is owing toc the superior playing of the visitors or the poor performance of the Ligonier lads is left for experts at the game to determine. Centain it is that the home team was badly defeated in an off night and with adverse luck but this will no doubt only spur.the Ligonier quintet to more practice and greater effort. : A

The basketball season is yet young and there is plenty of time for the Ligonier teams to recoup their losses. The first team of the Ligonier boys have won one game and lost ‘three; The Ligonier girls have a better record. T :
