West Bridgewater - A much enjoyed social event was an old fashioned "husking bee" given last week at the hospitable home of Mr.& Mrs. A.P. Hinds. It was indeed a merry party of young friends and neighbors who gathered by invitation to engage in what, in the good old days, was a social function much in vogue. While the male portion of the assemblage did the husking at the barns, the fair ones passed the time in pleasant social converse within the house. The husking completed, the boys and men returned to the house well laden with the traditional "red ears" which entitle their possessors to reap a sweet reward from willing lips. Next the guests were invited to an elaborate spread of wholesome and substantial viands to which ample justice was done by all present. Old-fashioned games held sway until a late hour when the company reluctantly dispersed. Those in attendance were Mr.& Mrs. Beebe & son Joe, Mr. & Mrs. Barrett Robinson & daughter Miss Jessie, Miss Libbie Sprout, Miss Anna Tyler, J.
