Lutheran Picnic At Idlewild August 11th
The preparations for the Lutheran reunion of the Sunday schools and churches of Westmoreland, Allegheny, Indiana, Cambria and Fayette Counties are being rapidly completed, and all arrangements for the comfort and convenience of the great crowds are being made on a larger scale than ever before. Two special trans will be run from Pittsburgh, two from Johnstown, one from Altoona, one from Indiana, one on the Southwest branch; and possibly two from Greensburg; making a total of eight or nine special trains. Last year some people were left behind, this year it is hoped to be all without overcrowding the trains, because more trains have been secured. Greensburg Press.
