Father and Son Week Starts Monday for Milltown People

Second Annual Banquet of St. Paul’s Brotherhood Monday Night Will Begin Event


MILLTOWN. Nov. Father and Son week is to be celebrated during the coming week and the Brotherhood of St. Paul’s Reformed Church will participate by conducting its second annual banquet in the Brotherhood building of the church Monday night at 7 o’clock.

The committee in charge has perfected all arrangements for the gala occasion and made arrangements for one hundred and fifty diners. Those desiring tickets may see either Henry Hartlander or Arthur Dickinson or any member of the Brotherhood, for there may be some left.

One of the biggest features of this annual affair is the orator of the evening, who will be the Hon. John T. Sproul, president of the Coal and Iron National Bank of New York City. From those who have heard M. Sproul comes the information that he is a very able orator, one gifted with the knowledge of how to win an audience and keep its attention. Mr. Sproul will give the main address of the evening, although Harry White will be in attendance and undoubtedly will have something to say, while the pastor, Rev. R. O. Castlos will also say a few words. E. M. Dowling of the County Y. M. C. A. will look after the singing numbers while Kuhlthau Brothers Orchestra will furnish music throughout the night. Tickets are selling for $1.25.

Arraigned Before Justice

Two boys from Berdine’s Corner were brought before Justice of the Peace J. A. Headley of this place last night on charge by Deputy Game Warden Theodore Ryerson of carrying guns in the field. The boys admitted that they had been shooting and on their clothes were several cartridges.

The law of 1925  prohibits such a misdemeanor but the lads were only sixteen and seventeen years of age justice Headley suspended the sentence, the boys paying only the cost of court.
