Reports of a water shortage in Huntley are entirely erroneous, reports Mr. William Leggee, Director of the Chancel Choir of the First Congregational Church. He predicts there will be a thorough inundation of river water, muddied somewhat by sea water on March Sth. In spite of a hole in their bucket, the three little fishes will ease dovwi the Moon River (paralleled by the Swanee) to Moonlight Bay. The troubled waters of Old Man River will be bridged by a dmken sailor going to row his boat by the beautiful sea. This nonseiiie is just to remind you that the choir will raise a melodious ruckus at the annual Hobo Show and beef stew dinner at both Sj30 and 8:00.
