Letter Is Received From

Hoosiers In Florida

Mrs. Lillie Reeves writes the following letter regarding Christmas activity of Putnam County people spending the winter in Florida: Christmas being over, I must report that the Putnam County group met in the Recreation Room at Highlands Hammock Park for their annual Christinas Dinner. Harley Smith returned thanks and everyone present enjoyed the fellowship together. Those attending were Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Carrington; Mr. and Mrs. Harley Smith; Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Grimes; Mr. and Mrs. E. Guy Ceilings; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Job; Clarence Scobee; Walker Ramsay; Mr. and Mrs. Leland Torr; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ramsey; Miss Donna Anglin; Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Carver; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Neier; Mr. and Mrs. Claude Newgent; Mr. and Mrs. William Patterson were in Sebring and came out to join the group. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Nichols of Fillmore drove over from West Coast to be with old friends, and Darrell and Martha Ne'er, Jimmie and Mary Jeannet from Crawfordsville, Indiana, were visiting Harry and Olivia Neier and they were present for the dinner too. Clifford and I were home because I had overtaxed myself and needed to rest. I’m about alright again now. The group enjoyed visiting after dinner awhile before returning to their respective homes. The dinner still serves the same purpose that it started out to serve December 25th, 1M7 (when there were only twelve present) to make folks happy who are miles from their loved ones. Mr. and Mrs. Dee Flock and Mrs. Cecilia Fogarty spent the day with Mr. and Mrs. Paul McGill enjoying Christmas together. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brattain spent tiie day quietly at home. They had attended a pre-holiday dinner with Claude and Mildred Newgent the week before, also at that dinner were the two Newgent boys, Dale and Max and their families. Max and Pat Newgent and children went te Indiana for Christmas. Mrs. Freda Glass of Indianapolis was house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Breedlove ever the holidays. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Poff, Sherri and Gary, plus a friend of his, ate Christmas dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Howard Poff. Mr. and

Mrs. John Plum were dinner guSets also. Dorothy Poff iS much improved at this writing. Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Stultz and Ira Nichols were supposed to he over on the coast fishing that day. Haven’t heard what luck they had. Mr. and Mrs. Tonny McGaughey and grandson were home, just another cate of not feeling up to the task of getting ready to go to the Park. Mrs. Ruth Evans planned to be with the Mrs. Mary Farmer family that day. Ray and Nettie McGaughey had company from Lake Placid, Florida. Clarence and Zella Etcheson were at Mrs. Malda Barth’s for dinner that day. Christmas Day was the golden anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Scobee, but they spent it quietly at home. Their son Willard and family of Bainbridge were there to help them celebrate. Friends and neighbors presented them with a lovely gift and several called that afternoon to share the occasion with them. Helen Robbins went to Indianapolis the middle of December to visit her family over the holidays. She will return early in January. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Torr celebrated their 50th anniversary Dec. 19th with guests dropping in to congratulate them, and, like the Scobees, they, too, received a lovely gift from the neighbors and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brattain had a pleasant surprise recently when their sons, Herbert of Indianapolis, and Marian from Roachdale drove in for a visit. While here they visited the Newgenta, too. When word came that Harry Ramaey, a brother of our neighbor. Walker Ramsey, had suddenly passed away, we realised how uncertain our future here can be. We extend our sympathy to the family. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hasten, daughters Ihnma Jean, Allot and Juanita, and Mrs. Viola Sears of Greencastle arrived in Florida just in time to enjoy Christmas Day in the sunshine. Many of the group had telephone calls from loved ones in the north (including us) that brought joy to their hearta that

day.

Let ue hope that 1966 will be a peaceful, happy one for all. That is my wish. Sincerely, your friend Ullie B. Reeves

—Big Steel increase. At present, the government buys about 25 per cent of the industry’s output lyIn a statement issued in New Tork, however, Bethlehem said it Intended to go ahead with the increase. The company, countering administration charges, said the boost “is not inflationary.” If the demand for the steel were eased, it might tend to keep prices low. The administration won a rollback in proposed aluminum price hikes recently by easing the demand for the metal—principally by selling aluminum from government stockpiles. Thers is no stockpile of steel, however. The administration was hoping that Bethlehem would agree, in the words of one source, to “act in the public interest” and withdraw its price increase. Officials were hoping that “moral persuasion” would spark a rescission.

God or mammon — God or money? What a fine time to resolve to serve the Lord! The person who serves God with time, talent and money will have treasures for eternity. How long is eternity?

When you met with MILDRED she displayed their guns Told of friends they’ve made and shoots that were won. EVA always takes to the lighter side And by all rules she is sure to abide. NORMA is a member who likes to have fun, And passes it on to everyone. She is the gal, who’s most likely to say, “I’ll pick you up next Fortnightly Day.” Then there’s MARY, LELIA, and NELLIE plus ME, Who aren’t worth a dam as you can plainly see, Yet, we’ve stood by this Club through thick and through

thin,

So, when you’re reminiscing, Do Count Us In.

Fob* Alarm

SPRINGFIELD, England UPI — Bomb disposal men spent most of Sunday probing an eight-foot-deep hole with a suspicious looking “metallic object” at the bottom. The cause of the alarm turned out to be two empty tin cans.

Movie Producer Takes Own life HIDDEN HILLS, Calif. UPI — Movie producer Donald F. Taylor, 47, widower of actress Marie (The Body) McDonald, apparently ended his life with an ovardose of barbiturates, authorities reported. The body of Taylor was found Sprawled on the floor in his bedroom Sunday by his stepdaughter, Denise Karl, 16, and her boyfriend, William Bailie, 22. Miss McDonald’s death last Oct. 21 in her boudoir was ruled accidental by the coroner’s office. Her death certificate eaid she died of “drug intoxication due to multiple drugs.” Sheriff’s deputies said the 42-year-old actress had beta quite ill and had been taking drugs as medication. The accidental ruling by the coroner last month removed the possibility of suicide in Miss McDonald’s death. Taylor was informed of the ruling about two weeks ago. Taylor’s body was fully clothed and lying face down on the floor near his bed when discovered. An empty bottle of Seconal, a barbiturate, and a one-third full bottle of sleeping pills were found in the house. Two notes Taylor dated Dec. 31 were found in a trailer near the home. Deputies learned that Taylor had been living in the trailer since his wife’s death. One note, addressed to Taylor’s attorney, was a last will and testament, according to Sheriff’s Sgt. John Peterson. Taylor’s film credits included “Importance of Being Ernest,” “Point of No Return,” “City of the Dead,” “The Alchemist,” and “She stoops to Conquer.”

—New York Stroke Of midnight on New Year’s Day, appealed to city residents and suburbanites to stay at home unless their jobs were "absolutely essential” to the city’s welfare. He said oiily one quarter of the 3.3 million persons who normally work on Manhattan Island could possibly reach their jobs by car, taxi or on foot. But Quill countered Lindsay’s appeal, calling on the public to drive into the business districts. "Working people can’t afford to stay home,” he said. Even Sunday, a bleak and rainy day, brought heavy traffic to the bridges and tuntfels which must be crossed to reach Manhattan. With the walkout in its third day, there were theie developments: — Public and parochial schools, normally attended by more than 1.5 million children, were closed for the day. Private schools and colleges were asked to close. — Losses to stores, just starting their January sales, were estimated at $40 million per day. * — Police were ordered on 12hour workdays. Officials feared a “fire catastrophe” if a major blaze broke out and heavy traffic prevented firemen from reaching it. — Quill was the target of widespread public criticism, especially for calling Lindsay a “pipsqueak.” — But Quill blamed the walkout on a feud between New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller and Lindsay. “Rockefeller and Lindsay are In a death struggle for the White House,” he said on television, and so the governor refused to give the city the ... money it needs to grant his demands.
