has announced that the work
will be on display the week of
November IL at the Museum Of
Natural History, the New York
Times Building and various
department store windows
along Fifth Avenue. What a
thrill that would be to think
possibly your work was being
exhibited in such prominent
places! Wisely, there are no
announced names but to be
able to qualify for such an ex-
hibit is Of Importance for our
schools.
Henry Saunders and Bob
Baechler have suffered pain
full accidents within the week.
Henry, while playing football,
and being tackled, bit his tom
que and had to have five stit-
ches taken. Bob and his fam
ily have moved into their new
home and while doing some of
the necessary work had the
misfortune to let a screw
driver slip, going under the
thumb nail of his left hand
and tearing on the nail. By
your own small experiences
you would know just how
much these boys are being
hurt these days.
Birthdays roll around. The
young children do not mind.
but rather welcome the day.
On Wednesday of last week
Garry and Rachel Grier, twins
of Mr.. and Mrs. Garrett Grier
celebrated their fifth birthday
Their little guests came at
ten-thirty, played until lunch

things and left for home and
the afternoon maps. Today
Janet Rathmel is five and is
celebrating by having some of
her kindergarten and first
grade friends in at one-thirty.
Halloween colors made a CAV
table for her small guests.
The days are beautiful for
motoring. And with football
games and the lure that the
fall coloring hold for many.
there will be many miles COW
cred. AS for me, l shall hope
to be one of the expected if
teen thousand to attend the
mass meeting in Wilmington
Ball Park on Sunday when the
evangelistic services for Pen

close.
A happy weekend to each of
you.

Of satisfaction when it is all
