Entertained Relatives

On April 16, G.C. Smith & Sons, drainage contractors at Valmeyer, entertained tour 
automobile loads of their nieces and nephews and their families who motored down from 
Edwardsville and vicinity to witness the opening of Moredock Lake into the new ditch and 
to spend the day with relatives.

In the party were Mrs. Mary S. Miller and son Frank, Mr. and Mrs. John Rinkel, Mr. and 
Mrs. George Rinkel and family, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Rinkel and family, Mr. and Mrs. Frank 
Rinkel, and Mr. and Mrs. Take, parents of Mrs. Frank Rinkel.

It was great sport for the Rinkel brothers to see the draglines throw out fish with the mud and 
water.  After spending a delightful day, the parted started for home at 4 p.m., one and all 
declaring they had spent a splendid time.
