The meeting began with the pledges and the club creed. Mrs. Douglas Bowser, co - hostess, gave a poem “Our Unfinished World” for devotions. Mrs. Archie Heffert gave the health and safety remarks concerning poisonous leaves and bulbs. Mistletoe and poinsettia leaves are two which are very poisonous. Daffodil, hyacinth and tulip bulbs are dangerous if eaten. Onions and tulip bulbs look alike and should be stored separately. She passed out folders on Fallout Protection. If you could hire one job done, what would it be? This was the question answered for roll call. Reports were by Mrs. Eugene Coverstone and Mrs. Sutton. Old business was the report on the booth the club displayed on “Window Styles” at the fair and showing the prize ribbon and check awarded the club. It won a red ribbon (second place) and four dollars. A very interesting film showing the process, of making cheese was the lesson by Mrs. Basil Miller.

WAYNE EVERETT SEPT. 16 The general meeting of WSCS was held at the church Tuesday night, Sept. 16, featuring a salad bar supper. Program chairman Mrs. R. L. Snoke began the meeting with Scripture reading and prayer. She introduced Rev. Nigel Everett (Mrs. Wayne Everett) of Wolf Lake as the speaker. “Woman Involved” was her subject. From magazines she had each lady cut and show a picture which she thought portrayed herself. Mrs. Everett said one must have a picture of ones self in order to relate to others. And sometimes our picture doesn’t please us. What we think of ourselves will color our relationships with those we come in contact. Women are more involved in jobs and community work today than ever before. One woman cared so much about Civil Rights she went to jail for demonstrating. Women have demonstrated before for the right to vote and other beliefs they held. When Mrs. Everett worked on a line in a factory she heard no profanity or vulgar talk, because the few women didn’t encourage it. When family life falls apart it is usually because the mother is too busy to see the needs at home. “To be involved in work and the community is good. But do not forget to take Jesus with

facts about ‘OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY As promised last week, here’s the second picture loaned to us by Mrs. Harry Martin. It is of Roy Miles’ dog and was also taken by Mr. Mclntire, a Milford photographer of bygone days. Photos of pets were not uncommon at the turn of the century. New sign at First National Bank in Our Town was quite a conversation piece last Wednesday when it was hung. Employees of the post office, located across the street from the bank, wanted to sell front row seats as persons stopped to watch the sign being hulled to the top of the building. ❖ $ V A definite smell of fall is in the air these days, even though the temperature has hovered near the 80 degree mark the past few days. Our town is quiet these days with the youngsters back in school. A total of 398 students are enrolled in grades kindergarten through four at the elementary school while 301 are enrolled at the junior high school. The quietness is broken for a half hour or so each day when the .dismissal bells ring, but then it seems all the youngsters must go right home to study because after what seems to be the after school rush things seem to settle down again and Milford becomes a quiet little community once again. Maybe, just maybe, they all go home to study! In reading an article in The Pierceton Press we found where a minister who used to be in that town has a trophy that he is quite proud of since he got it for running 500 miles. It was awarded him by the Kendallville Youth Center, where he is enrolled with 30 other men in the physical fitness class. The minister lauds this exercise as a wonderful way of keeping trim and is justly proud of having had to shorten his belt six inches since beginning to run. The class he’s in lasts for one hour each day.

We won’t mention any names, but maybe some of the men of Our Town should start such a club! ! s * ♦ Revival services continue to Friday evening at 7:30 at the Christian church in Our Town with Harry K. Orn as evangelist. Harry, a native of Milford, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Orn of this city. He is currently serving the church at Yuma, Ariz. s « <i A little known fact about Dr. H. C. Snyder who died on Saturday was that he was a “printer’s devil” in the shop of the weekly Silver Lake Record when he was a boy in that towii. He never lost the feel for printer’s ink, and often visited The M-J shop to watch type set on the automatic linecasting machine.
