6 JANUARY 1915

Jan. 4th

The pie social at Young’s Cove was held on Friday evening of last week, at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard White. The night being an ideal one a goodly number were present, with hearts overflowing with feelings of good-will each one striving to do all they could towards making the social a successful one. And so it proved to be, the sum of twenty-five dollars being realized. One little incident in connection with the event is worthy of mention. A dear old lady, well advanced in the seventies walked a distance of three miles carrying her pie with her. She felt well repaid for the effort she had put forth, when her pie was sold for one dollar and a half. We do not feel, however, that we can do too much towards aiding the suffering Belgians, who have sacrificed so much for us. The amount raised will be forwarded at the earliest opportunity to the local treasurer.
