Klliott PAPERS TO AID THE CALL j Gave Enjoj'able ProgTam I At the meeting of the Young Peo ples Christian Union last Sunday evening an excellent program was given that was enjoyed by all. A number of fine readings, songs, etc.. disproves the contention that there is not enough talent to make such programs a regular event in church work here. Another is being pre pared for next Sunday evening and will, we believe, be even better than its excellent predecessor. All young people of any church connection or none are cordially invited to be j present and enjoy these programs. Boys Enjoy an Outing About fifteen boys enjoyed the all day hike last Monday. At the ap pointed hour the gang started on foot for Lyle Lawton's log cabin, about three miles northeast of town. It did not take long to build a fire and prepare the noon-day meal.

' This follows the action of the Balti more Sun in announcing a gift of $500. towards a legal fund to appeal the Call case to the highest court. Since that time, many other pub lishers have signified their intention of joining the movement. Under the decision of the court of appeals, many publishers feel the rights of a free press in America are seriously endangered.
