Memorial Day the Visiting Nurse Association is to have a tag day, which will cover the town and beach. The proceeds will go to pay the expenses of a Free Baby Clinic, which the district nurse is anxious to carry on through the hot summer months. There are enough babies in town and the mothers should feel very glad that our health guardian in the person of Miss Eldridge wants to keep the well babies well and give the sickly ones a chance to gain. The plan is to have the babies brought to the clinic once every two weeks, where their weight and height will be recorded and a general examination will be given by the doctor working with Miss Eldridge. The future of our town rests on the young babies. Give them a good start in health and they will later show their appreciation. Memorial Day will be tag day and please be as liberal as you possibly can.

Saturday night an entertainment was held in the school, which took the form of a Theatrical Booking Agency. Mrs. Eva Dennett was the office girl who received the aspirants for a booking on the circuit. Master Joe Raymond was her able assistant as a typical office boy. The first number was a selection by the Mandolin and Guitar Quartette, which called forth remarks by the office boy. This number was followed by a short play, "A Large Order". Mr. Russell Leavitt and Mrs. Arthur Ward took the parts of Mr. and Mrs. Benedict who were still living in the glow of honeymoon days, while Mrs. Everett Nudd took the house by storm in her part of the Irish maid who tried her best to start a fight. Mrs. Wilson Olney then read two humorous selections from Jerome K. Jerome's works. The final number was a song fest with Mrs. Wilda Bernard and Mr. Chester Grady as the stars. Each sang a number of selections separately, then together they gave "The Refrain" and "I Will Give You the Gates of Heaven." Mr. John Chapman was their accompanist. Both have very powerful voices, but in the power the sweet qualities are not lost and the blending of the two voices was a rare treat, which those who were privileged to hear will not soon forget. Mr. Grady gave a short talk on his interview and tryout before Madam Shuman-Heink and read a letter he had received from her wishing him every success in his musical future. The entertainment netted $50.25, which will be used to buy silver for the dining room.
