Grange Wood Cutting Bee


On Sunday, Dec 10, a few in
trepid Grange members braved the
inclement weather and motored tC
the Burr Alverson farm to get out
a supply of wood for the Grange
hall. Although they were few in
numbers, they were either prodi-
giouS workers, or they had very
efficient tools and equipment as
they claim that enough wood was
sawed to last the Grange a full year.
Anyway they deserved the thanks
of the Grange, and the credit goes
to Burr and Fred AlVerson, Fred
Anderson, Henry Lenarz, Louis
Fuller, Orval West, Jim Moses, and
Winton Weydemeyer.
Knowing from long experience in
feeding hungry menfOlks, that the
workers would appreciate a hearty
meal is just what Jenne AlVerson,
with the help of Eva Lenarz and
Nell West provided for them. The
men are still talking about the
chicken dinner with lots of trim
mings" that the ladies served them.
Christmas Party
The Christmas party and program
held by the Tobacco Grange on the
evening of Dec. 20, was highly sue
cessful. There was an attendance
of AZ grownups and Is children,
and the program under the direc-
ton of the Grange lecturer, Mrs.
Robert Green, provided entertain
ment for all ages represented.
Recitations and songs by the little
folks not only gave them pleasure,
but were thoroughly enjoyed by the
older ones.
A monologue by Phyllis Knott
and short play enacted by the
Orval West and Howard Helms
family provided amusement and en-
tertainment for the grownups.
The singing of Christmas carols
by the Grange choir added much to
the spirit of the occasion.
OF course old Santa put in his
appearance to please the children.
Some of the older ones were pleas
antly surprised with gifts also, and
Mrs. Harvey was the happy reci-
pient of a fine wooden blanket
given her by the Grange members
in appreciation of her faithful and
efficient service as pianist.
A fitting climax to the evening
was the bountiful supper furnished
by the ladies, with the tables beau
tifully and appropriately decorated
with candles, greenery, and orna-
mentS.
It was truly a festive occasion
and our hope is that everyone de-
parted for home as full of Christ
mas spirit as they were of candy,
cakes and coffee.

CAMPERS GET BLAME
FOR FRENCH FIRES

Paris = 6AP) Camping is be-
coming SO popular in France that
the Ministry of Interior is now
studying a code to control the
sport.
The necessity for some meas
n of control over campers has
been emphasized, in the view of
authorities. by recent big forest
fires in southwestern France
which cost nearly a hundred lives
and great damage to property. At
least some of these fires are be-
lieved to have been started by
careless campers.
