FAMILY REUNIONS
We do not remember of ever
hearing before in one year of so
many family reunions and picnics
as has been in vogue this summer.
No section is exempted but it
seems to have been a State-wide
movement
And we are glad to see this.
There is nothing finer and noth
ing more conducive to home life
in America than for families to
meet in these annual gatherings,
the family ties of which have, in
many instances been too often neg
lected or forgotten. Every year we
see more of these gatherings and
we trust the contagion will spread
until every American family will
make it a point to gather their
particular clan around the picnic
table at least once a year and re
new acquaintances and brush up
on family history.
Speaking of these annual gath
erings, the Hickory Record says:
"Time was when family reunions
were few and far between and re
quired long preparation and much
planning. Nowadays the member
charged with the secretarial duty
sends out the post cards, the wom
en of the households get Jjusy with
the picnic dinner and on the morn
ing of the appointed day the va
rious scattered families hitch up
their old flivvers and hop to it.

The family reunion is more popular
than the Sunday School picnic,
judging by the number being held
throughout the Hickory area this
summer.
"Pride in a family name is usu
ally back of these gatherings of
the clans. As our American civili
zation takes on age, men think
more of their forefathers and the
part they played in the building of
the great structure we call Ameri
ca.
"Sometimes the descendants and
relatives by marriage go back to
the ancestral home, assembling at
the call of the secretary for a day
of jollification each summer in the
open. College professors and far
mers pitch horseshoes as partners.
The woman of fashion sits down
to talk over family affairs with
her cousin the seamstress or the
farm wife. There is such a ming
ling of personalities and social
ranks as makes for good democra
cy, and those who participate are
the better Americans for their an
nual reunions with those of blood
relationship whose walks in life
are usually so far removed they
never meet except on these oc
casions."
