The Young Man's Community Club enjoyed its first Father and Son Banquet at the vestry of the M.E. Church Tuesday night. The committee of mothers who were in charge have the hearty appreciation and thanks of the Club for their careful attention to every detail of preparation. The cherry napkins, the flag decorations, and the portrait of our first president, backed by a large flag suggested the proximity of Washington's birthday. The bountifully loaded tables suggested how the other mothers and other friends of the club members had assisted the committee in providing a great feed. Over sixty were served at supper. Nearly all the club members were on hand and fathers were loyal. Some who could not bring fathers invited a near friend. A few fellows not in the club were invited. At the close of the banquet Mr. Percy E. Jewell, Secretary of the County Y.M.C.A., spoke briefly on the work being done in the county with special reference to our well-supported Club. The speaker of the evening, Rev. Arthur Hewitt, Methodist pastor in Plainfield, Vt., now for seven years a member of the State Board of Education for Vermont, gave the boys and a good group of friends an unusual combination of hilarious humor and sound, hard-hitting sense. His theme was "Honoring our Heritage." A liberal offering was made for the speaker's expenses. The music by the musicians of the club at the opening and closing and leadership in the songs was much appreciated. We hope to do so again next year.
