Emlenton Doctor Honored At Testimonial Dinner By Mrs. A. R. Newton, Ji EMLENTON A community testimonial dinner, attended by practically of Emlenton and the surrounding countryside, was held last nighl in- Ihe Emlen-Ion School and audi- tofmm, honoring Dr. C.

S. Bridcn- baugh whose almost eniire career in the practice of medicine has been spent in Emlenion. There was only'one flaw in Ihe occasion. Dr. Bridenbaugh was unable to attend.

Having had the flu with complications, his doctor ordered him lo stay in bed. Unable al the last minute lo postpone the well-planned event, a two-way loud speaking system was set-up from Ihe stage of the auditorium to the bedside of Ihe honored man. Dr. Bridenbaugh, whose unfailing friendliness, kindness and devotion i to the welfare of humanity has won him a host of friends, came lo Emlenton in the summer of 1905, Great pains were taken lo insure thajjhe doctor would be surprised. His brother, Phillip Bridenbaugh, retired football coach of New Castle, was secured as the speaker for a dinner sponsored jointly by the Emlenton Chamber of Commerce and the Businessmen's Association.

THE PRESENCE of some 14 out-of-town friends and members of the doctor's family may have planted some suspicions in the doctor's mind. However, 'following the dinner, the group adjourned lo the auditorium where many others, not accommodated at the i streamed into the building to have a part in Ihe proceedings. Archie Newton, was master of ceremonies. A bronze plaque was presented to Dr. Bridenbaugh.
