| NUMBER OF LOCAL FOLKS
ATTENDED FLOWER SHOW
Last week a number of people
from this section attended the In-
ternational Flower Show in the
Armory at Baltimore, Md. Some
were pleased while others were
rather disappointed, particularly so
when compared with similar shows
held at Philadelphia.
Last Wednesday the editor visit-
ed the show and among the local
folks in attendance that afternoon
were: Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Eshle-
man and his brother-in-law Mr.
and Mrs. Edwin Hess, of Akron;
Miss Esther Henry, Mrs. George
Brown, 2nd; Mrs. Elmer Brown,
Mrs. Harry Brown Dr. and Mrs. O.
G. Longenecker and daughter Miss
Alice, and Miss Mary Keck, of
town, and Mr. and Mrs. David
Lutz, of Harrisburg.
This is the week of the annual
Flower Show in Convention Hall
at Philadelphia and in the writer's
judgement it is the most wonder-
ful display of nature’s work ever
exhibited in the City of Brotherly
Love and is well worth the trip to
all lovers of flowers.
