A community recreation meeting; is out of the ordinary happenings and the particular one at the Cedar Swamp Graded school building on Friday evening was an unusual occasion. For grown-up folk, young folk and ^children came to mingle together seemingly oblivious of business care and worry of any kind and they soon caught one idea of a "Community Recreation Meeting" that is to "Pack Up Your Trouble in Your Old Kit Bat, and Smile, Smile, Smile". The Honeymoon Trip was one of v the games of the evening that soon changed the smiles into hilarious laughter as the crowd watched the couples preparing to make the trip in the least time. Each couple would have their opportunity, timed by n watch, for the gentleman to take off his coat, open a suit case take out a coat (a long tail duster) and a necktie and hurriedly put them on and at the same time the lady putting on a coat, hat and gloves making quick time?all ready?they closed the suit case and take it with them on the speedy trip across the room and back to the starting point there to divest the travelling apparel and repack the suit case for the next couple. The couple making the preparation and the trip in the least time won the prize. Of course the charming pres- j ence and timely assistance of the fair damsel brings forth every effort of her partner to suceed in the race. The (scda) cracker relay race was fine, and Supt. of Education McCollough with many others can vouch for the difficulty of whistling after being so daintily served with the dry delicacy. Many other games were played and not a moment of the time spent was dull. This kind of meeting will have a tendercy to bring the community people together, and creates a spirit of get together in comunitv improvement and cooperation in the affairs of the neighborhood. For the entertaining feature of the meeting this section is indebted to to Miss Daisy Vara, Red Cross secretary who is well known over this county for her active service in this gtod work, and to Miss Hattie McMurray, demonstration agent, whose inedfatigable efforts in her line of work is commendable and to Miss Julia Hale a popular and musically talented young lady of the Kingstree High school A number of old time songs were sung by those present and as the resonant sound reverberated it signified the closing program of the evening.
