the most needed projects to be

All people of the various COM
munities are asked to register their
garden with their community
school or a committee appointed

corded with the Lincoln County

cessfully led the group in an effort
to work on a countrywide program
IN the interest of school and COM
munity projects. Due to lack,>of fl
nancial accumulations, heSorgani-

a proposed county wide center, but
the future hopes and efforts will
point in that direction.
The organization made cash

more than 25 years and during
that time his name has been
singularly free from anything ex-

man of the highest Christian Char
acter and nothing in my little es
say was intended to detract from
Prof Sanders long and honorable
reputation as school teacher. In
