Mrs. Alta Bowers reported that she had attended the open house at Etna Green where many new blind workship materials were displayed and will have them for sale. Mrs. Leonard Beaty read an interesting ecology report which reminded us to use white disposable papers such as towels, napkins and toilet tissue because the colored ones do not disolve. Mrs. Victor Schmidt reminded us that she has many more "Hands Up" leaflets about Crime Prevention and that we should work to get them distributed where people will see and read them to help prevent crime. She also reminded us that there are still mental patients at Beatty Hospital in Westville and we should bring our Christmas gifts for them to our meeting on

November 4. Our meeting on November 18 promises to be an interesting one. Mrs. William Dickson has made arrangements for a guided tour and lunch at South Bend’s newest facility, the downtown Century Center. Women are urged to bring their husbands or other guests because the exhibits there should be especially interesting to men and this is a prime opportunity to see this beautiful Century Center which opens its doors for the first time on November 1. Mr. Roland Sheneman, proprietor and designer of the Posy Parlor in Walkerton, held the interest of all the ladies as he talked about live house plants. Bringing with him quite a few plants, he told in detail the requirements of each plant for keeping it healthy and beautiful. He told us most house plants sold in this area are grown in pots in Florida, told us to prune out plants for new growth, not to use water which has chlorine in it and that the back side of a leaf is what makes a plant grow, so if you oil or wax your leaves, don’t put any on the back of the leaf. He was kind enough to answer many questions from the ladies and brought his informative discussion to a close when he made a lovely arrangement of foliage plants in a plastic lined basket. He

presented us with a graceful Bird's Nest Fern to use as a d<x>r prize and Mary Bauer was the lucky lady taking it home. Miss Catherine Keefe, sister of Jane Keefe, was our only guest for the day and Mrs. Basil Curl was unanimously elected to be a new member. We welcome both. Tables for this dessert luncheon were beautifully decorated. Placemats were gay with colorful fall leaves. Clusters of corn, gourds, pumpkins, Indian corn, apples and tomatoes decorated the center of the tables. Hostesses were Mrs. John McCombs. Mrs. Roy Hostetter. Mrs. Lloyd Thomas, Mrs. Roy Newell and Miss Ethel Bierly. NOTICE The ACLD will meet on Thursday, October 13 at St. Michael Church, 612 N.
