Farewell Party for Maurice Colwell
Bainbridge News & Republican, April 23, 1942
A large group of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] friends, including the members of the Recreation Club, honored Maurice Colwell at a party in the local Central Hotel, Saturday, April 18. The popular young man, who will leave at the end of this week for induction into the service of his country, was feted in great style and was surrounded by material and mental forms of congratulations.
A large table, decorated with flowers, was covered with elaborately wrapped gifts, all of which were duly opened by Maurice and which afforded the entire company many laughs.
Charles Colwell, father of Maurice, rendered several vocal solos in his excellent bass, and was accompanied by his son, and the latter also played several piano solos. Several variations were presented and group singing with Mr. Colwell was greatly enjoyed. After an evening of singing and dancing, a delicious buffet supper of cold turkey and the trimmings was served at midnight.
A dramatic interruption was afforded when Officer Payne, in uniform, entered the room and issued a warrant for the arrest of the guest of honor. The charges were based on abandonment and non-support of the Recreation Club Christmas Dance, the Woman's Club Flower Shows, the Local Hospital and the Interior Decorating problems. Needless to say, a satisfactory settlement was made by which Maurice was not forced to serve any prison term.
In addition to the members of the Recreation Club, the following attended: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Colwell, Mrs. Mildred Lord, Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence Bradshaw, Dr. and Mrs. M. Torrence, of Harpursville; Dr. and Mrs. H.K. Salzberg, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Lowry, Mr. and Mrs. Robert White, Miss Virginia Blakeley and Miss Jean Slocum. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Nelson and Mr. and Mrs. F.A.Demeree were in charge of the event.
