Where could one find a jdeasanter
place to spend the coming holiday than
in Sv^arthnibre? A hot ride on a train,
with the rush for seats and the encounter with the crowds incident to a
holiday, are hot to be compared with
Vour.Own comfortable home. This is
.especially: true when the little pries are
considered. .--. i
These are the considerations which
have prompted 'the members ' of the
'Fourth'' Association to provide a tcwh
celebration in the belief: that if the"
children are entertained during the
forcnoOn and evening, the result will
be that the grown people will have enjoyed themselves in providing a good
time for the."kiddies.". -.?
The con-iplete pirogram follows,  and
the'parents are urged to  allow  their
children  to  take  part;   and   let   these
different things take the place of, the
usual -firing  of pistols,  crackers,   etc.
There will be a grand display of fireworks   in - the   evening  to   niore   than
make up for the loss during the day.
