Why? This is the day for the ever-talked-about Hobo picnic given by the Second Baptist Sun day school. The opening scheduled for 5:30. Just at this breathtaking moment it begins to simply pour down. Only this time it wasn’t Morton’s salt but RAIN. Finally some bright miss suggests that rain doesn’t stop a hobo. So two young couples don slickers, slacks, and rubbers and start for the pic nic park. These brave couples at tracted others who had planned to. join the fun before the rain started. The assistant superintendent of the Sunday school announces that the picnic would go on as scheduled only not out in the rain but in the church. Everyone assembled! The fun began! Everyone was present from grandfather to grandson. In the entertainment that followed more fun was had than a barrel of monkeys could have had with a thousand barrels of peanuts in New York’s largest zoo. And oh my! Did those hoboes enjoy a meal of their lifetime? Well, I’d say so. There was everything from san wiches to ice cream. There were maany long faces as the final hour approached. Who said hobos didn't have fun? Ask the LOYAL GUID TTBF.

Tattle they suspected, when those old southern slaves gathered “round for a little spiritual uplifting” that their old camp meeting songr would in time be used to lead the forces of an invading army, and little did the Yankee boy, Daniel De catur Emmett, dream when he sat down to write a t**ie for a Negro Minstrel, that in time his strains would lead a southern force in vading Yankee territory. But that is just what happened. The words and music of “Dixie” were com posed by Emett, the northerner and to the tune of “Dixie” the gray hosts of the Confederacy marched against the north ;The north’s most beloved song on the march was “Glory Hallelujah” or “John Browns Body,” and the. mu sic was taken, note for note, from an old southern camp meeting song. Yankee Doodle’s Unique History The Ragged Continentals of America’s Revolutionary forces, too, marched to a tune that was given them by the enemy. Deliber ately, and in jest, English officers, twenty years before the first shot of the Revolution foisted the tune off on American soldiers as a fam ous European military march. The time was Yankee Doodle, and to the pioneer soldier who fought in the French and Indian Wars of USSB it sounded militant enough to march to, and catchy enough to remember. To further the fun, Dr. Shuckburg regimental surgeon in the service of the king wrote dog gerel very s f tr /ulii tune. The way the American soldiers wr? taken in by the hoax ke| t their !:■ ish officers laughing for we ks. Yankee Doodle was no European ' m'litary song. Its early history is e. o- plicated as well as strange. The melody was used in ancient days in religious rites in Italy. Hol landers later sang it as a harvest song; and in England it was play ed at country dances. Nevertheless it sounded all right to the Amer ican soldiers. They sang it and con tinued to sing it. Eventually, the English officers found Yankee Doodle no longer funny. In fact it was downright boresome to General Cornwallis. He heard it so much in the Revolution ary War daring his retreat at Yorktown, that he said he hop ed he would never have to listen to it again. General Cornwallis should not have complained. It was his brother officers, serving Geor ge, third, who gave the Americans the song they sang as they marched to liberty. -o.
