The women wore black bonnets, plain dresses, the men long beards and soup-bowl haircuts. Unabashedly, men obeyed St. Paul's admonition to "greet one another with a holy kiss." Only problem of import before the Dunkards last week was whether or not to allow radios in their homes, a matter which has come up every year since 1925.
