One cold winter day i'll the early '70s,
the doors of the Hannah Neil Mis-
sion and home of Ohio opened to vel
come a feeble mother and a round
eyed little girl. They were cared for
and, eventually, went their way.
Years later letter came from a
Miss Ida Murphy casually inquiring
how the institution was supported.
The information was supplied and
that was the end of that.
And then, So years after that
friendly act of helping a mother and
child--in other words, just recently
the mission was informed it had been
named beneficiary Of $500 bequeathed
by Miss Murphy.
1t was Miss Murphy who was the
seven-year-o child, who inquired
later about the MISSIONS support and
who finally died secure in the knowl-
edge that her debt Of gratitude had
been paid. she taught in the public
schools at Whitefish for Is years.

Mysterious disappearance of Cyril Van
Hise, former city treasurer of Round
up, is mystery no longer. He has
been located in Seattle and is happily
reunited with his wife.
Van Hise dropped from sight last
August. His disappearance led to the
belief that he had either met with
foul play or was victim of amnesia
caused by war injuries.
Actually, Van Hise went to Seattle
where he was employed with an in
vestment concern. He explained his
failure to communicate with friends
or relatives was caused by disappoint-
ment at not succeeding in his Seat
