 PLOTS AT CEMETERY

The Altruistic Committee of the local Temple of Pythian Sisters com pleted one of their helpful plans re- gently when they made payment of a total sum of $500 for placing con- crete coping about the burial sections of the Knights of Pythias Lodge and of the American Legion Post in the local Mountain View Cemetery.
 The money for this purpose was raised by the members of the Pythian Sisters Temple by giving cooked food sales, dances and various other en- tertainments. The first of this fund being placed in the bank last May and the first of this year the fund of $500 had been raised and the debt cleared.
 The Altruistic Committee is com mitte sanctioned by the Order for the building of good works and each year finds them with a program of some thing for the good of the community. The present committee consist of Mes danes Sadie Blakely, Eleanor Gaddis and Erin E. Hammers.
 The Order is to be commended for such plans and the local Temple is to be praised for such members, for "Order or individual shall be known hereafter by such works as they shall leave behind them.
