WENHAM 
Rifle shooting held the center of the 
stage for Wenham boys and young 
men during the two weeks ending 
March 29, and the car-barn range 
was in active operation. Sixty odd 
men shot during the period, as well 
as several brave ladies, with good 
scores as a general rule. Thirty- 
eight did well enough to have their 
achievements recorded, and of then. 
twelve, boy scouts, qualified accord- 
ing to the standards of the scout 
movement. Brooks, Conary, Landers. 
Walter .Ames, Milner Batchelder, 
Jasper Brown, Chase, Elwyn Cannon, 
Fred Glavin, Marini, Sweeny and 
Fred Stanton were the fortunate ones, 
Landers, Elwyn Cannon and Glavin 
having “made good” the previous 
year. Mr. Culter and John Cannon 
maintained their reputation as con- 
sistent and successful shots. 
Wenham’s Congregational church 
has been touched by the. prevailing 
spirit of patriotism, and now displays 
the national flag in the auditorium. 
While neighboring churches — pur- 
chased new flags for this purpose, 
flags with no historical or personal 
associations.. Wenham was so for- 
tunate as to be granted the custody 
-f a banner consecrated by use at the 
hands of brave men; for the Wen-

display their official flag in the house 
of God during these days of the 
crisis. 
The Christian Endeavor society re- 
ceived the warmest congratulations 
upon the success of the dramatics last 
Friday. “Sally Lunn,” both in its 
quality and the excellence of its pres- 
entation, proved to be one of the fin- 
est things ever presented in Wenham. 
While the endeavorers did well, chief 
credit belongs to Mrs. O. L. Wood- 
bury, the coach and manager. 
Some sort of patriotic demonstra- 
tion warked almost every day this 
week, with the scouts drilling on the 
street Tuesday, the ladies attending 
the Red Cross lecture at the Town 
hall, Wednesday, and so forth. The 
Red Cross lecture came from a com- 
bination of forces, the District Nurse 
committee collaborating with the 
Ladies society of the Congregational 
church. 
Good Friday will be observed by a 
church service at 7.15 p .m. this eve- 
ning, when Rev. Don I. Patch of Bev- 
erly will preach. On Easter morn- 
ing the minister, Rev. F. M. Cutler, 
will preach, and at that time there 
will be a special reception of new 
members. Sunday School at noon. 
All the customary evening meetings 
will be combined in the concert at 6 
p. m.—with an attractive. program 
entitled “Alleluiah.”

Prompted by the success of Wen- 
hamites who enlisted in the Navy, a 
number of other junior citizens ap- 
plied to the Field Artillery last week ; 
and also found that requirements are 
very “stiff” in the national guard. 
One proved to be too light (a heart- 
ier supper would have assisted him), 
one was away below weight, while a 
third had not grown up sufficently 
high. Never mind, they were willing 
enough. 
HrppopRoME&’s PROSPERITY CONTINUES 
Charles Dillingham’s joyous pa- 
geant ‘““The Big Show,” which enter- 
ed the ninth month of its remarkable 
run at the Hippodrome this week, 
continues to lead all theatrical attrac- 
tions in New York in point of atten- 
dance and general interest. Its re- 
markable program, which employs 
nearly one thousand people, includes 
divertissements in diving, swimming, 
skating and other athletic sports to- 
gether with circus novelties and 
plenty of fun, while the song revue 
portion of the bill includes “Poor 
Butterfly” the season’s great song 
sensation and many other Raymond 
Hubbell favorites. The swimming 
novelty supported by Annette Keller- 
mann and her pretty mermaids con- 
tains new interest each week, as the 
diving Venus alters the routine of her 
daring dives regularly.

not think of making them
