SOLDIER CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY

  Justus Albright, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. William Albright, of Juniata 
street, and who was with the American army overseas in Battery C, Fifty-
second artillery, and recently returned and is spending a furlough with his 
parents, attained his 19th birthday on Monday and the event was fittingly 
celebrated at the Albright residence in the evening.  Thirty guests were 
present and a sumptuous repast was served, which was the crowning feature of 
the evening.  Dancing was a very popular form of amusement and a very 
enjoyable time was spent until a late hour by the merrymakers.  The young man 
was presented with a handsome gold watch by his parents and sisters.  He 
enjoyed the evening immensely, remarking that it was quite different from his 
18th birthday last February, which he spent on the firing line in France, 
ending the day by going to bed in the mud.
