Community News June 4, 1921 Vol. 1, No. 11, p. 1
On July 5-6-7 Clarkston will provide you with a splendid vacation right at home: the finest three day Chautauqua program that has ever been arranged. Some of the features are listed below:
The Allpress All-Star Trio will furnish the music for the opening day. Their violin, cello, piano and cornet numbers, readings and songs are certain to please. As a lecturer on the first day we are to have A.C. Everingham, who will present his lecture "The National Cornerstone," which has to do with rural life and problems.
"Indian Trails and Traits" is the subject of a costume lecture-entertainment by John Kilham on the second afternoon. Mr. Kilham’s impersonations of famous warriors and Indian chieftains in which he wears the native Indian costumes, is filled with thrills and interest.
"Her Husband’s Wife," a farce comedy, will be given on the second evening. This popular production which has been presented over one of the big Chautauqua circuits in the east, has been enthusiastically received. It is filled with humor and hilarity and has tremendous appeal. Special scenery will be used, and professional players will present the production.
The Hawaiian Singers and Players are scheduled for the third day. These natives of our Island possessions, sing and play in true native style, and will give us a quick trip to the southern seas.
Dr. Thos. W. Davidson of New York, will lecture on the third night on "The Pathway to Power." Dr. Davidson was born and educated in Ireland, and before going to Canada and later to America, had achieved an enviable reputation as an orator. His lecture rounds out a great Chautauqua program.

A COMMUNITY BOOSTER
Community News June 4, 1921 Vol. 1, No. 11, p. 3
A problem that has been worrying the local cemetery association and those interested in the upkeep of Lake View Cemetery for some time is the plan for the beautifying of the whole cemetery. Under the present plan, individual or family owners of lots are asked to contribute a certain sum for the care of their lot, and under this arrangement only about 50% of the lots are cared for. What plan can be arranged to provide a general fund to take care of every lot and beautify the whole cemetery? Those interested would like to have this question answered through Community News.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Sedan, with electric starting and
lighting system, demountable rims with 31/2-inch
tires all around, is the ideal family car because
of its general utility and refined and comfortable
equipment. Finely upholstered. Plate glass
windows. An open car in the spring, summer,
and early fall. A closed car in inclement
weather and winter. Rain-proof, dust-proof. In
the city or the country, a family car. The low
cost of operation and maintenance is not the
least of its charms. Won’t you come in and
look it over?
