Prematurely-Born Baby Home After Four Months

Mrs. Donald Gruss, of Haywood Lane, the former Frances Miller, : daughter of Mrs. Peter C. Miller ' of Decatur route 6, received a de- ■ layed "package” last week from the Lutheran hospital in Fort Wayne. The contents? Therese Marie Gruss, four-month-old" baby daughter. Therese Marie, it seems, arrived prematurely on October 28 last year. Her doctor, John B. Ter veer, had her rushed to the Fort Wayne hospital when it appeared evident that the baby was on its way—and it was. A scant one pound and 15 ounces at birth, Therese Marie, nicknamed “peanut" by the hospital attendants, now tips the scales at a lusty 6.5 pounds. Therese’s father, a boxmaker at Tokheim Corp., reported that the Public School Head At Annual Meeting W. Guy Brown, superintendent of Decatur schools, left today for Atlantic City, N.J., to attend the annual meeting of the American association of school administrators. Brown will return to Decatur Friday morning. The theme of this year’s meeting is “Education and the creative arts.” One of the highlights of the affair Swill be a performance by Van Cliburn, young Texas pianist who carried top honors at the Russian music festival last year. Along with the main theme, the place of music and art and their related fields in the educational system, will be exhibits and discussions on every phase of the administrators’ problems. Scores of group meetings will direct attention to testing, transportation, curriculum planning, business management, financing and tion. As these meetings will be' conducted at the same time, it is the job of each administrator to attend the meetings that are most pertinent to his local problems, j The main theme is important ! to 1 schools of all sizes. With the current placed on the sciences, educators realize that the arts I must not be overlooked. While the importance of the sciences has increased in recent years, and will continue to do so in years to come, a healthy balance must be maintained. Schools of all sizes belong to the American Association. Recently, they began publication of the “Small Schools Swap Sheet;” , iWhich deals directly with the problems of smaller schools. In this paper, the superintendents of smaller organizations exchange plans and ideas that-will selp solve the problems typical of a small system. , Nazarene Building Fund Meeting Held About 75 members and friends of the Decatur Church of the Nazarene were present at a dinner held in the Youth and Community Center Friday evening. The affair was in connection with the building fund canvass *vhich is now in progress, and k which is to be completed this week. A goal of $40,000 has been set for building improvement purposes. and SIO,OOO for furniture and equipment.' A number of lay leaders spoke regarding the needs and goals for the future, Glenn Habegger gave a short history of the church, citing some of the struggles of the formative years. Leo Roe explained how the canvass was set up, along with the spiritual implications of the effort. Sherman Fonner, general treasurer of the church for the past 13 years, dealt with the question, “Why have a new Church?" Kenneth Markle spoke on “How to Pledge.” The Rev. C. E. Lykins, pastor, brought words of challenge and encouragement for the future service of the church to the community. Tables were decorated by Mrs. Juanita Hawkins, Mrs. C. E. Lykins, and Mrs. Kenneth Markle, carrying out the theme of the canvass, “horizons of tomorrow.” Each family present was given a brochure setting forth details of the canvass .plan, along with information pertinent to different phases of the work of the church.
