The Aid society of the EnglewOOd
United Brethren church met with Mrs.
Alfred Fuestman Wednesday after
noon. As their pastor, Rev. Frank H
Neff, and family have left Salem to
make their home in Lebanon, this left
the society without any president, as
Mrs. Neff has been filling that orfiee
for several months. At the short bus
mess session Mrs. Fuestman was elect
ed president, Mrs. II. Tarnell as vice
president and a new committee on
work was appointed to consist Of Mrs.
II. Richmond, Mrs. +. Hoxie and
Mrs. +. W. Castle. The financial re-
port shows the society in a very good
condition every way.
The next meeting will be in the base
ment of the church next Wednesday,
and as there is considerable work to do
good attendance is desired.
