one would certainly think so to see the spring fever fans gathered in front of Jerry’s barber shop about ten o’clock every morning. Moreover they are all imbibing of last year’s fish stories and telling plans they have made to go fishing “in just a few days.” H. S. Quinn and Mr. Keefer, both of Chicago, spent the week end at Mr. Quinn’s cottage in Ahlgrim’s Park. Mr. Quinn says that he’ll be coming out here quite often now. That sounds a lot like the “good o’ summertime” doesn’t it By the way, Mr. Quinn renewed his subscription for another year so that shows how he values the Post ’way up there in Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Don Warren of Rensselaer spent Sunday with his sister, Mrs. Gerald Davis and family. Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Fehlman visited in Thorton, Illinois, Sunday. Mrs. Art Gilman, and Donnie, enjoyed the week end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Ferry, in Chicago. Alfred Snyder accompanied them to visit his mother, Mrs. Roy Collins, who also lives in Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Collins then returned with them Sunday to spend the day with Mrs. Collin’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Williamson. Mrs. Maude Dehner returned from Iowa City, Iowa, last Thursday. Fred Strouble of Gary was in town Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Maurek and baby daughter, Margo of Gary were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Neal Sirois Sunday. Earl John Spry, of Lowell, spent the forepart of the week at the home of Mrs. Eva Reyels. Nearly forty young people gathered at the Shelby Hall Friday evening in honor of Max and Wesley Ahlgrim who are going back out west soon. Most of those present were from Lowell, Schneider and Shelby, although Blue Island and Momence, Illinois were also represented. Dancing constituted the entertainment with music provided by Wayne King and other orchestras, via radio. Everyone departed at a late, or rather an early hour, having spent a most enjoyable evening. Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Spieth of Monon were in town Sunday afternoon visiting old friends. Mr. and Mrs. Guy Dickey and sons, of Hobart, and Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Dickey, of Hammond, were guests of Mrs. Josephine Dickey

Sunday. Art Burk moved to DeMotte Monday morning. We understand he is opening another barber shop there and hope he has luck in his new place of business. Mrs. Charles Kimmet, Sr. entertained the Shelby Home Bureau Club Thursday afternoon, March 16th. There were twelve members and two visitors present. The Club will meet again April 20th at the home of Mrs. Samuel Sirois. Roll call will be “Health Hints” and the lesson to be given is “Slip Covers”. A bus load of local young people attended the Valparaiso District Christian Endeavor meeting at Crown Point, Wednesday evening of this week. The meeting was held at the Presbyterian church and a large group of young folk from Lake and Porter Counties were present. Some new Endeavor societies were formed and several members were added to the present societies in various communities. This was the first district meeting the Shelby society ever attended and all who attended from here felt that the time was well and enjoyably spent.
