house, his new coal house torn up
and lodged in the trees north Of the
house, three of which trees were
broken off, the roof torn from the
hog house, and various vehicles and
pieces of farm machinery turned up
side down. Severe hail storms were
reported in adjoining districts but
none fell in this immediate vicinity.
The regular meeting Of the Happy
Hollow Red Cross branch was held
last Sunday at the township hall as
usual. The meeting was well attend
ed and quite lot of work was done.
Nineteen pairs of knitted socks were
turned in, which was four pairs more
than the number allotted to the
branch for the month. A year ago
most Of the ladies of this branch did
not know how to knit. If the boys
"over there" realize how many
prayers and good wishes are knitted
into the socks they receive from the
Red Cross, it will certainly warm
their hearts as we'll as their feet.
