est viands, in most generous pro-
portions, consisting of fried chick
en-, sandwiches, baked beans. salad,
spread, pickle, pumpkin pie, Nea-

When questioned as to the why of
it all, Mrs Curran who is taking a
weeks vacation, stated that the Of

been so good and helpful to her in
her tasks, that she wanted to do
something to show her apprecia-

because of the uncertainty of
weather conditions, she decided to
hold it in her office, with the upper
hall Of the court house for the din

vacation" in preparing such a
feast--but perhaps the enjoyment
of seeing the guests, especially the
editors. eat, outweighed all other
considerations.
