hand in Junior, Church, Branch
IS and Branch 81 in which she
was a very active member.
Mrs. Kast died after a three
week illness and leaves to mourn
one son John; two daughters, Sa-
IA and Helen and one grandson.
She was preceded in death by her
husband some IS years ago.
Funeral services took place from
the St. Pauls Lutheran Church
conducted by her pastor the Re-
verend Richard R. Korber among
an overflowing throng of friends
& neighbors testifying to the high
esteem in which she was held.
The church choir rendered three

The rest. some $50 million, goes to

Stationery suppliers in the o. s.

Of this add approximately 81 mil.

Dear Friends!
In all fairness to the "Lieder.

too much time at the Kommers
at our Saengerfest i'll Erie, I fee
it is my duty to explain to you
that the Liedertafel was in no way
to blame for that. No one in ou1
group even knew about it, that
act by Baum & Delfino was
strictly on my own, just to have
a little fun with with Our Bundles.
president Henry Meier, for
which we were granted permis.
sion, both by Mr.. Meier and the
Master of Ceremonies, so please
dear Singers, blame me and not
the Liedertafel.
And to those Singers that din't
get their chance to sing or per-
form, humbly apologize for TAX
j ing up the extra time, and please
believe me dear friends it was not
done to show off. or even think.
ing that no one else has talent as
Our critic SO bluntly puts it.
sincerely hope that at our next
Saengerfest, you will perform
first and win a prize. So please
forgive me.
And to Our critic, Hans Steiner
I would like to ask, where is that
Honor and Respect for Our Sing.
ers with criticism like that. I'm
sure our President Mr.. Melze,
didn't mean that kind of criticism
Why do we all look forward to
our Saengerfest; to see old
friends again meet new friends
having Our President , and our
Directors be proud of us by sing
ing Our songs nicely. We wait fol
the Kommers so we can have fun
isn't that the idea?
Well to some people it isn't
ladylike to be funny, no you are
not the only critic, Hans, you al
least come out in the open. while
a few others talk behind your
back, but just who among us, is
so perfect that we have a right to
criticize any one else. We are all
working for the same goal, to up.
hold the tradition of our Sieben-

honor of those who have carried
on all these years & have worked
hard for this Organization, let's
not spoil it by finding faults witt,
each other. and please let US all
be friends again.
And remember to be there on
time at Our next Kommers, if all
the Singers had been there at
10 o'clock as the program stated,
all these hard feelings could have
been avoided, but I did notice the
dining room was empty when the
Liedertafel got there at e:15, we
were ready for the Kommers at
10 o'clock, while some Of the
others came i'll rather late. So you
see "Mr. Critic, you can't blame
"The Liedertafel" for taking up
that extra time, because you and
some of the others where really
doing it. And I also think that our
Kommers should really be just for
fun, all that singing took up a
lot of time, we have enough OF
that at Our Concerts and every
week rehearsals, SO we welcome
the chance to see the funny acts
our talented singers perform. Sc
till than, always your friend.
