Valentine PARTY
For M. E. Choir

One of the most successful OF
this weeks parties was that en-
joyed Wednesday night by men,
berS of the Senior choir of the
Methodist church, the party taking
place after the choir rehearsal.
All sorts of games were played,
each carrying out a Valentine theme,
with candy hearts awarded as prizes
to the winners. The highlight OF
the evening was the shadow pic
lures in which the men tried to
name the women whose shadows
appeared on the screen, having
little success since clever disguises
made the task difficult.
Each man purchased box, gay
with Valentine decorations and
filled with tempting delicacies, for
the supper hour, his partner being
the woman who packed the box.
Some 40 choir members were pres
ent for the affair.

drive is under way. It will mean
SO much to Nogales to have ceme-

person might be content to live in

of our cemetery, hate to be buried
there or to leave his dear ones
there. hope the undertaking goes
over big, and tho my offering must
be small, my good wishes and sin

of the project is great
A beautiful expression! If every

assured.

If that isn't enough to make any
girl happy, there are two bath
rooms with tubs of white jade and
gold, chimes in the steeple which
ring every ten minutes, and the
house is completely equipped with
electricity and running water.
Explaining the beginnings and
fulfillment of her childhood dream,
Miss Moore says:
"Some people collect old masters
and spend fortunes on Rembrandts
and Corots. Some go in for polo
ponies, and some for snuff boxes,
some for yachts, and some for toy
poodles. My pet extravaganza just
happens to be q, dolls house. The
collection of It's furniture has been
passion with me ever since I was
2 years old, when my father made
me the first doll house out of a
cigar box.
''Now that my dream is realized
in all it's perfection, I would be
selfish not to do some real good
with it. My plan is to take my doll
house on a tour of the world,
charging small admission fees and
donating them to organizations de-
voted to the care of crippled chill
dren. My plan is to have local chari-
ties in each community derive the
proceeds.
