rapid paco of business, automobiles,

pleasant to have a chat with "Dick"

back that old time fellowship of tho
days that will nover return.
Middle aged and older people ro

can hold their own, but tho social
gatherings and amusements of the
former days, tho fellowship when no

was no disrespect. Thoso same
