One of the most unique and best
home talent affairs we have had for
some time was that given Friday ev-
ening by the Frances Rodgers Class
of the Methodist Church. The music
was very fine, but the Giving pic
lures" and Family album" were far
too fine to describe. I didn't know
we did have such good looking pic
lures. Some were more beautiful Of
pictures of older days than they are
now and really altogether the whole
entertainment was fine, and Mrs.
Rodgers and her helpers are to be
highly praised for the excellent way
this was done. A good sum was
cleared for the Red Cross and every
one present got more than their mon
ey's worth.
