How busy the staff and thciI
friends must have been Saturday
evening. preparing for our Easter
celebration, because Sunday NOR

kinds. Our services before break

flowers and burning candles.
AS services ended. the doors were
opened, and we were able to get "A
fleeting glance at the array of Eas-

attractive little ladies in their
jaunty head-gears. There was ey-

ed were a snappy beret, a dainty
pill-box of flowers. a tightly fitting
helmet or skull-cap. and perky
bow of ribbon, each one perched
prettily on just as varied hair-dos.
Could you guess that the founda-
tion of these were an egg for the
face and head and an egg-cup for
the frilly dresses and beribboned
corsages? OF course. We gradually
became aware of other objects,
such as colored little chickens and

What is interest
ing you most this
lovely spring day? Is
k---= it house cleaning,
surgical dressings, air warning
classes, or the bond drive?
There is a diversity of effort
enumerated, but it all adds up
to the same thing-war. The
exception, of course, would be
house cleaning, but that is a
fight against dirt, so it can be
reckoned, too. With the casual
ties coming so close to us, it
spurs every one on to do his
best, no matter what the activ-
ity. The bond sale will go ON
all week and the goal will be
reached, l am sure. but in the
meantime the volunteers are
keeping up the work.
The china display at the Mil
ford New Century Club on Mon
day was lovely and interesting.
Mrs. August Faix had been
studying up on her subject for
the day and she became so ell
thusiastic that her friends now
think she might become a col

saw the piles of clay which la
