More than 150 women attended the opening dinner of the Decatur Woman’s club, held at the Youth and Community Center Monday evening. The affair marks the official beginning of the club year, and is always well attended by the seven various departments of the organization. The members were delightfully entertained by the well known, hand bell choir of Fort Wayne. Lloyd Pinkerton, minister of music at the First Presbyterian church in Fort Wayne, is director of the 10-member group, which presented their fine program using a 37-note set of bells. Perfect co-ordination and rhythem were expertly displayed by the group as they presented a wide selection of numbers, ranging from the period of Bach to touching Negro spirituals. On Pinkerton’s direction, each member of the bell-ringing choir went into the audience and selected a Woman's club member to demonstrate how “easy” it is to play the bells. Taking part in this humorous part of the program were 10 women, Mrs. Lowell Harper, Mrs. Harrv Dailey, Mrs. Hubert Feasel, Mrs, Leo Curtin, Miss Helen Haubold, Mrs. Gail Baughman, Mrs. Frank Lynch, Mrs. R. C. Hersh, all of Decatur, and Mrs. H. T. Keesling and Mrs Herman Taylor, both of Muncie, who were guests.of the Decatur club. Because they were so amused by the number which the women presented, members of the high school Junior Arts department were invited to demonstrate their ability. Doing so were the Misses Ann Allwein, Jackie Baker, Jane Burk, Charlotte Gephart, Becky Rumple, Sally Schnepf, Ann Schurger, Jane Tricker and Anita Zintsmaster. Finding out that it wasn’t as easy as it looks, one of the girls commented afterwards that she "only had one little note to play, and then I missed that!” Pinkerton, as director of the group, displayed a fine sense of humor and sincere appreciation of his choir's work, which was readily sensed by the audience, especially in their final number, the very appropriate and well played “Bells of St. Mary’s.” Tables Decorated Tables for the dinner were at'tractively decorated by <*ach of the seven departments. Included in the decorations were artistically arranged fall flowers in vases made out of pumpkin heads, a trailing of bittersweet and brightly colored fall leaves, lovely and some very unusual candles, an array of gourds and winter wheat, and a wide selection of colorful dinner napkins. A gay “scare crow’’ was perched in one of the centerpieces, while the Music department’s floral decorations were centered with musical staffs and a clever violin. Eighteen women were setted at the head table, which was centered with a beautiful arrangement of huge bronze pompoms, orange and yellow mums, cattails, and orange and yellow leaves. The same leaves centered down the center of the table to the tall lighted candles, which were placed in smaller floral arrangements to compliment the cehterpiece. . Mrs. Jethro B. Sprunger, president of Decatur Woman’s Club, welcomed the members, and introduced her officers for the coming year, who are: first vice
