WISCONSIN WEEK
1t Will Occur in Grand Rapids the.
First Week in July.

The idea is old as the hills. From
time immemoTial it has been the
custom in civilized communities for
the clans to gather at some conVen-
lent time during the summer. Some
time it is called homecomign week
sometimes a harvest picnic, some
times a county fair, som etimes religi
Gus meeting. OF recent years in
great mai communities, it has been
a summer chautauqua, and for this
summer in Wisconsin these occasions
will be appropriately called Wicon-
in Week
For the firct time in the history
of Wisconsin the homecoming weeks
in a. large number of towns will be
celebrated with a common purpose in
view and in cooperative way,
under the auspices Of hte Extension
Division OF The University of Wis
consin. Twenty communities have or
ganized a Wisconsin Week program,
and are offering this program dur
ing the month Of July in the hope
that it viii be a true homecoming,
with plenty ef educational benefit
and heaIthfm recreation to make It
not only attractive but permanently
valuable. Because Of the cooper
ative efforts Of the committee and
the Extension Division the program
offered IS probably greater in value
than any Wisconsin community has
ever had the opportunity Of procur-
ing at the same cost
Naturally the children's courses
naYe been uppermost in the minds
of those who have the arrangemen ent
in charge. There VII be someone

SOME MORE AN
GENT HISTORY Of
GRAND RAPIDS

The first president of the ladies aid
of the NJ. E. church was Mrs. A. B.
Sampson, sixty seven years ago in
I848 she was unanimously elected as
president of this small society Of six
members. Mrs. Sampson was a grand
character, and one suited for these
old pioneer days. She had great Vi
tality and energy, when she started
out to have something accomplished,
for the church or for christian work,
it was always sure to come. No OBJ
stacle would discourage her efforts,
She was a born leader, consequently
at the head of every enterprize in
those early days. Her home was al
ways open for the itinerant ministers
who travelled thru the country at that
time, on horseback, putting up any
where they were invited to stay for
a meal, or over nigh and she was
d mother to all of the ministers fam
lies. 1t WAS she who would find
out what they needed, and some way
was found to supply this need. Many
a donation party and also pound par
ty, did she arrange for in those early
struggling days OF the church. Many
minister had to subsist on these
donations pieoed out with gifts from
the local gardeners and from the far
mers for several months.
On Thanksgiving day and alse ON
Christmas you would see her Wend-
ing her way towards the parsonage
with a large covered basket. No one
ever knew from her whatit contained
but more than one happy ministers
wife has told how they thot they
could not afford to have Christmas
that year, but how the turkey and
Jelly and other treats had been brOt
TO them by Aunty Sampson. Many
a poor minister's wife blessed her
name. She loved the old church,
now the G. A. R. Han. She could tell
you who ha uled the first logs, who
gave the first days work; how it
WAS paid for, part by part She had
a hand in it all. The Ladies' bought
the lot of Geo. Neeves. / have heard
