Among the many family reunions and picnics held yesterday one of special interest was that held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Perris Bassett on Parmale Street at which four generations were represented. A tent raised on the lawn of the home sheltered the party at noon when a picnic dinner was served. During the afternoon, group photographs of the gathering were taken by B.W. Clark.
