dividually dressed as “Uncle
Sam”, Mrs. Morgan, Mrs. Chap
man, and Mrs. Smith carried the
veterans on an Imaginary trip
across this great land of ours.
Stops were made, through song,

easy, summertime recipe—a
salad, casserole, punch, sand

be placed on a long table along
with the recipe written on a
