Interesting Happenings
AT Unthank Home

The most popular family of our
community have been having ex-
citing and interesting events hap
pening in their home the past So
many weeks. The most exciting.
we might say, is that there has
been an increase to the distinguish
ed Doctor and Mrs. DeNorval I'm
thank. A sweet baby boy, who is
third in line to become another
doctor. However, boys, you have
got to go far to equal your won
derful father.
The most interesting event in
the household has been the visit
of Mrs. Unthank's mother. This
lady, Mrs. Leslie Shipman, beau
tiful with personality, poise and
grace, has made us realize where
her daughter conquered so much
charm.
And while all these things have
been going on, the Doctor himself
has taken a needed rest from his
hundreds of ailing patients. And
with new zeal and pep, he has re-
turned to his office a happy and
rested man.

that has seen years in upbuilding.
Modern warfare with present me-
chanized armies and superior de-
structive methods, between major
nations in this enlightened age, to
the thoughtful and really peaceful
