Women Os Moose Honor Long - Time Member Here

The format of the “This Is Your Life” television program was used to honor a long-time member of the Decatur Women of the Moose at a special banquet held Saturday evening at the Moose lodge. Mrs. Dora Cook, 115 E. Rugg St., was pleasantly surprised to find that Moose members had not only brought members of her family from as far away as California but had also prepared a largs biography-scrapbook titled, “Is This Your Li e? Dora Cook.” Mrs. Cook has, been a member of'the Women of the Moose since 1922 and was senior regent of the organization in 1930. More than 50 friends, relatives and Moose members turned out for the event. The Moose lodge had arranged for six of her children to be present. They were: Mrs. Bertha Birtley of Walnut Creek, Calif.; Mrs. Ethel Schlickman of 'Lima,' O.; Mrs. Thelma Andrews Decatur; John Cook of Oakland, Calif.; Robert Cook of Decatur; and Charles Cook of Decatur. Also present were four of her sisters and brothers. They were: Mrs. Anne Bruewer of Greensburg, Mrs. Millie Fritsch of Batesville, Mrs. Cleona Boehmer of Batesville, and Charles Gauck of Decatur. Lloyd Roth was master of ceremonies for the program. Mrs. Cook was unaware of the reason for the gathering and the banquet until she was asked to come on stage after the meal. Then, the story of her life was read from the book which was to be presented to her, and, one by one, her relatives spqke from an offstage microphone before coming on stage to greet her. The event was arranged through the cooperation of the Moose members and members of Mrs. Cook’s family, who contributed the necessary photographs and information for the book. The biographs section of the book was written by her son, Robert Cook, and the book itself was made by Lucy Ann Call. The book includes a grade school class picture, early family photograhps and pictures from Mrs. Cook’s wedding in 1904. It also contains a chart listing her descendants — seven children, 20 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Die book closes with a letter from Lloyd Roth, thanking Mrs. Cook for her service to her friends and to the Moose lodge. ' Locals Bill Spahr, who has been hospitalized since suffering a serious heart attack November 23, has returned to his home at 742 Central Ave., Holland, Mich. He is a former resident and the son of Mrs. John C. Spahr, Decatur. Mel Zoss, of Anthony Wayne Meadows, was admitted Friday to the Memorial Hospital in South Bend; he hopes to be able to return home by Christmas.

GOP Mayors Os Indiana In Session Today By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— More than Ihree-fourths of Indiana’s Republican mayors came here today to establish their own organization. There are 61 GOP and only 50 Democratic city hall bosses in the state. Hence, the importance politically of the GOP mayors following the crush of Republican power in nearly all governmental offices in the ’ November election. There appears to be a degree of coldness between the mayors and Robert N. Stewart, s'ate chairman, and the GOP state committee, which met in here Tuesday. Speakers at the mayors’ gathering wfere former Gov. Harold W. Handley; Sta‘e Sen. Allan E. Bloom, Fort Wayne, who will be GOP floor leader in the 1965 Senate; Fort Wayne Mayor Harold Zeis, former superintendent of the State Police, and H. Dale Brown, Indianapolis, 11th District and Marion Coun y chairman. Brown, a former state chairman, has been a constant critic of Stewart, his successor. "Stewart does a lousy job,” Brown said Tuesday. “At present or sometime in the very near future, there will be sufficient votes to make a change, if we can find a candidate.”

The meeting of the mayors was called without sanction of chairman Stewart by Greenfield Mayor Berry S. Hurley, whp said: “We feel as mayors we should be consul'ed a little bit about platforms and other things in the state organization, since we’ve got to run on them in 1967.” Today's agenda included a wide-open discussion of party affairs, in contrast to a closed meeting of the state committee Tuesday; adoption of a constitution and bylaws, and election of officers. Among the mayors who have been mentioned for future Political advancement are Hurley, Zeis; Lloyd M. Allen, South Bend; Will H. Hays, Jr., Crawfordsville; Edward L. Cordell, Richmond, and James D. Gardner, Martinsville. No Republican mayor, in recent history has been promoted to higher office, but Democratic Sen. Vance Hartke is a former mayor of Evansville.
