The Martin's Song
Hear Heart, today somewhere I hear
a mating martin sing.
In his wild flight above my head
upon a tireless wing,
Ami With tint note so new ami sweet
?so plaintive, strange and low,
There seemed to flood within my soul
love songs of |ong ago.
Me did not linger in his flight to rest
nor yet to sing,
1 only caught a fleeting glin>pse of
polished breast and wing,
Hut with it came the fragrant scent
of climbing roses red.
Ami with it eamu the memory of ?
summer days long dead.
Sweet summer days and glorious
nights When hearts beat fast and
true;
When down the jprhnrose path of
life I wandered, Love, with you;
But now the days of youth are dead
the path of life is long;
And only memories of all pome yvith
the martin's song.
The Kedpath Chautauqua In Camden
Social activities -were sidetracked
this week and the right of way given
to Kedpath Chautauqua, big,* little,
old and young "hit the trail" that
!ed to the big tent pitched amid the
giant oaks of the Grammar school.
The Ohautaqua is an outstanding
contribution to clean, delightful and
instructive entertainment and is an
annual treat to our people that they
look forward to with eagerness and
bright anticipations. This year
pleasing programme was presented
each afternoon and evening to a
packed audience. Laurant and Com
pany were indeed magicians extra
ordinary giving an amazing produc
tion of vniagic and mystery. The
Jugo-Slav tamburica orchestra with
unique instrument^ of their country
pleased the people as did the Farifbol
Entertainers. The group of lecturers
-Dr. Hilton Ira Jones, noted scien
tist and lecturer; William Rainey
Bennett, nationally known dramatic
orator and inspirational speaker;
.Julian B. Arnold, distinguished trav
eler, author and sovant, were all
good. The play "Give and Take"
was a big attraction and well re
ceived. The Chicago Lyric Singers,
came in for a share of popular ap
plause, and Everett Kemp, as reader
and entertainer, gave "ThaI~~Pri liter
of Udell's" in a very pleasing man
ner. The five days entertainment
closed with that beautiful musical
production "The Shepherd's Dream"
with picturesque ' costumes, unique
lighting and scenic effects and was
perhaps the most enjoyable and cer
tainly the most beautiful of the pro
grams presented. It mirrored not
<>nly the costumes, but the sentiment
and lovely ideals of a by-gone time
?the grace and charm of a day that
's past.
We are glad that the Chautauqua
is coming back next year and the
citizens are indebted to the group of
public spirited men who' made this
possible. It was Johnson who said:
"I am a tfreat friend to publiu amuse
ments when clean and instructive, for
they keep people from vice." And
we agree with him; the Chautauqua
cultivates, enlightens and refines. It
plants the right ideals, ambitions and
The . Chautauqua is an outstanding
and hoys and cause them to "Hitch
their wagon to a stai\" as they are
told by inspirational speakers of the
ureal possibilities . of life.
