than Caldwell Chapter, OAR,
on Saturday and while there
were many out of town men,
bers who could not attend be-
cause of the snow, those who
were able to go carried on the
business with the regent, Mrs.
w. J. Dufendach. Mrs. Clar-
ence Jester did give a brief
talk on the birthday Of the
United Nations. Next month
the meeting will be held on
December 5 in the Parish
House when Judge Richard S.
Rodney of New Castle will be
the speaker. Tea for the men,
bers and their invited guests
will follow.
Word comes from Norma
Jean Elton of DOylestOwn, Pa,
that her husband, Frank, is a
student at the National Agri-
cultural College there and is
majOring in Ornamental HOr-
ticulture, thus following in the
footsteps of his father. Frank
left school in his junior year
to join the Navy, where he
stayed for almost nine years,
during which time he acquired
his high school diploma
through the education pro-
gram set up by the government
for that purpose. And now, at
twenty-nine, he is going on
with his education, in which
he maintains good marks. Nor
ma Jean is secretary to the
comptroller of a group of
newspapers in Bucks County,
Pennsylvania, and in that con-
tributes her bit to her own
budget. These young people
can be depended upon to make
their way. They are just two
of the millions of young people
whose youth time education
was interrupted. by the wars.
Each year about this time
Miss Cora Trice calls me to
say that she has made some
Raggety Ann dolls for the
companionship of little girls Of
tender age. She continues each
year to do these and they
bring joy to those who receive
them. Get your order in early
because they are not too num-
erOus, and it would be lovely
to find one under the Christ
mas tree.
Casualties of the past few
days are Mrs. David Cooper
smith, who, in slicing turkey,
cut her left thumb badly
enough to make a trip to the
hospital where several stitches
were taken in the wound. Mrs.
NJ. Haswell Pierce unfortunate
ly fell several steps at the
front porch of her home Satur-
day. evening, spraining one
wrist and hurting her back.
Ice was the cause. These hurts
incapacitate one for a while.
May they not be long.
Plans go on for the New
Century Club card party Mon
day evening in the club rooms.
To the camelia bush that the
Elton Lynches gave for a door
prize has buen added a cheese
cake that Mrs. COOpersmith
has made famous among her
friends. The turkey given by
Mrs. John Burris and Mrs
Jack Burris is another i'm
pOrtant item for which mem
bers of the committee are re-
ceiving donations. This party
should afford lots of pleasure
to those who go.
Had you thought much ye'
about your Thanksgiving din
ner? The turkey and all of the
lovely foods that Grandmother
and her families liked are goinl
to be served that day at the
ThOmpsOnville Church from
noon on, until everyone is ser
we'd or there is no more food
This old fashioned Dime
could solve problems for thos
having small families or 70
those who have not been invit
ed elsewhere.
Frank Parker singing "M
Buddy" seemed the fittin
contribution to this Armistic
Day remembrance. This is
long letter and l do hope vii
not bore you good people.
Always,
