About IS gardeners drove over
to Biloxi last Friday. TO attend
the October meeting of the Mis-
sissippi Gulf Coast Council of
Garden clubs at the community
house there, the aggregation in
Guiding representatives from our
four garden clubs - Pascagoula,
Lake, Twig and Sprig and Trow-
ell. Mrs julius Virgins, past pres
ident of the Paseagoula club, was
elected by reclamation from the
Fl DOR to the office of first vice
president. The Trowel and Twig
4 and Sprig clubs were admitted to
membership.
Speaking about the Trowel club
reminds me that at the last meet
ing it was decided to change the
assembly day back to Tuesday,
the fourth one of the month being
decided upon, which is a bit of
news received with delight by the
society editor as most of the clubs
for sundry reasons, hold their ses-
sions Wednesday and close to too
late to get the data to her in time
for her deadline-that afternoon.
May the club grow and flourish!
It's meeting this month will be
on the 25th.

A young father who has lately
been hearing his son say his
! prayers at bedtime reports that
the experience has held a number
of revelations for him. One eve
ming after the family (including
the cousins and the uncles and
the aunts) had been adequately
cared for by the prayer route, the
small voice went on, And please
don't let Father he so cross and
fussy." There was a pause, Now
God, this is the second time | have
asked about this. Amen"
