FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE MEETS AT REEF HOME The Friendship Circle members of the Decatur Missionary church met at the home of Mrs. Lloyd Reef recently. The meeting was opened with the poem, “This Day We Have,” read by the president, Mrs. Lawrence Gallogly. Upon the completion of the poem, a song was sung by the group. Mrs. Lester Strahm was in charge of the devotions and she used the building of .the tabernacle as her theme. After Mrs. Strahm had shown many examples, she read the crucifixion of Christ and a prayer was offered by Mrs. Ernest Bellella. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by Mrs. Donald Sprunger. There were seventeen members and one guest, Mrs. Garnett Stam, present. The remainder of the evening was spent in making Easter favors for the Adams county memorial hospital and the Adams county home. Refreshments were served by Mrs. John Brown and Mrs. Howard Elzey. All members and friends are urged Jo attend the meeting to be held April 23. At this time the Decatur church will be hostess for the district women’s convention.

Asks Cards Sent To Injured Soldier To Help Recovery Pte. Jerry D. Miner stIH remains in critical condition in a Virginia hospital more than 760 miles away from home. His mother, Mrs. Vivian Miller , of South Second street stated today that even though Jerry is slightly improving, his condition will remain critical for an indefinite perod. Surgery on his fractured leg and hip is scheduled for April 9 if he keeps improving. Miller was injured in an accident on the base last week when a motorcycle on which he was a passenger, collided head-on with a car. The operator of the motorI cycle received friction bums, cuts and bruises. At first, plans were made to operate on the badly crushed hip and leg as soon after an operation to correct damage caused to his stomach, a process that required 150 stitches to close the wound and caused a great loss of blood to the patient. Because ■ of the amount of time and loss of the blood the leg operaiton had to be postponed. Doctors also said the local youth might he suffering from a concussion. Although he was visited ’ recent- ' ly by his mother, sister Donna,

It is hoped that readers i of this story will send cards or i- letters to the youth in order to a speed his recovery. Doctors re--0 ported that after the visit by his mother and friends, Jerry began r improving much more readily. If response can be obtained a* V it was in the case of little Lester - Werling, Pfc.

O ' o To Whom It May Concern: Thank you, for the wonderful compliment paid me in Saturday's edition of the Daily Democrat (Notes after 30). We all need a pat ■ on the back occasionally and no one appreciates this more than I do. It takes a bouquet such as this to give one the courage to carry on. While I am proud and happy to accept the honor of being chosen as one of the "Mothers of the YeAr” I cannot take all the credit for something that may look as though I did it alone. Far from it! I got help from God and prayers, my children, and folks from this town. God gave me a wonderful family of children to work with, who accepted the trials and the crosses, who worked right beside me, no matter what came up. God gave us a wonderful community to live in, with people who gave us encouragement, understanding, and help when needed.

I could relate many instances. If | God hasn’t already blessed them, he surely will some day. As you said, it took work, and it wasn’t all sunshine, but when you love someone no matter what occurs you can battle it. I only did what any mother who loves her children would have done under similiar circumstances. I am very proud of my boys and girls. And being human, it makes me mighty proud and happy to think you have given me the honor of being one of the Mothers of the Year.
