BOOK GROUP OF A. A. Z. w.
MEETS WITH MISS WELLS

The book group of the A. A. y.
I w. met Monday evening at the home
of Miss Jessie Wells. After short
| business meeting presided over by
the president, Mrs. ]. E. Cowan, she
introduced Miss Marjorie Sheridan,
who in most delightful manner re-
viewed 1.-The Danube" by Emil
| Lengyel. Miss Sheridan had given
much thought and time to this
book and the rapt attention given
her testified to its interest. The
author Emil Lengyel, is man
about As years of age, with snow
white hair, born in Budapest, Hun
gary; served in the World war as a
lieutenant; was a prisoner in ST.
IBERIA for 20 months. He has been
a naturalized American citizen since
1927, and has done quite lot of
newspaper Work-was on the New
York Times after coming to Amer
ica. His first two books were writ
ten in his native language, but
''The Danube is written in English.
He is now professor of history, in
Brooklyn Polytechnical Institute
The book as reviewed by Miss
Sheridan traces the rise and fall of
the nations through which the Dan
ube passes or borders and the story
is fascinating as it makes of the
river living, vital force in it's long
course from it's source in the Black
Forest until it empties into the
Black Sea. There is a spirit of sad
ness and home sickness as the au-
thor traces the past grandeur,
gaiety and culture of the great coun-
tries-cities that were the centers
of literature, art and music, now
gone-swallowed up by a relentless
force-the world wonders what will
be the outcome.
Prof. LengyeI who is a noted lee
turer, spoke before a teachers
meeting last year in Athens, and
Prof Fl. ] Donahue, of M. & M.
had the pleasure of meeting and
hearing him speak. The group gave
Miss Sheridan vote of thanks for
her review. Mrs. c. V. Davis of
Pennsville and Mrs. B. c. Valentine
of Mt. Vernon, n. Y, were guests.
The next meeting will be with
Mrs w. d. Danford, with Miss Le-
ona Mowery giving a review.

Walker, and Miss Verna Pauline
Fouts, both of this place, was SOL
emnized Friday evening at the

MRS. PAULINE FOUTS WALKER
LOSES POSITION

Mrs. Pauline Fouts Walker who
has been assistant in the local office
of aid for the aged, started on two
weeks vacation" Monday which
will end in two weeks with no job
awaiting her. She was among the
several hundred state employees to
lose their jobs, because of the Brick
er. administration. Mrs. Walker be-
gan her work here in 1886, when
Mrs. Curran personally paid her
from her own salary. Later she re-
ceived half-time position, and
since 1887 has been on full time.
Her services have been of the very
best. She has refrained from po-
litical activities; and the sole rea-
son for being fired was because she
is a Democrat. The fact that she
was recently married had nothing to
do with it. Her successor has not
yet been named. 1t was just year
ago that Charles Finley, an equally
good assistant in that office was re-
tired for the same reason.

] ity Administration, have achieved
real results this year in their pro-
gram OF canning and storing foods

meats while they have stored to-
tai of 1908 bushels Of potatoes,
fruits and other vegetables. In ad-
dition, the families have total of

etables.
These families canned an average
of S2.7 quarts per person this year

quarts per person before acceptance
into the F. S. A. program. Miss
Blackburn, also stated that 80 fam
lilies met or exceeded the adequate
canning plan which sets up a quota

per person.
Similar progress has been made
by the families in the use of home
produced milk, butter, eggs, meats
and cereals, which have helped
them stretch their incomes and i'm

ods of canning and food storage.

portant part of the Farm-Home pro-
gram of these families in order that
