SAXON VETERANS

! got a bum steer last week and
that is the reason for the column
being missing. Lots and lots of news.
First of all - the youngsters beat
the old-timers 1854, l think. No
one seems to know for sure Brought
back lot of memories and at 100
o'clock in the morning brought a
pair l never had when l played. It
wasn't the best game played but
considering the length of time we
were away from basketball l think
we did good job. Too bad we
weren't in the condition Al Aber
was! We would have mopped up
the floor with them. Well get them
next time.
Speaking of AL we were sorry to
hear of the misfortune that came
to them. There was a fire in his
apartment building and / understand
they lost all their furniture and
clothing, Just SO nothing happened
to them and the child.
Congratulations are IN order for
the Dale Mandys. They have taken
the big step and bought themselves
a home on La Verne Avenue =
Parma. 1t is a good, big place and
they did good job of redecorating
it. l am not sure what they put on
the living room wall for paint. They
say it is brown oil base paint!
don't know!!
Congrats also to George and Erma
kloos. They are the proud parents
of a Christmas baby boy, pounds
Ia ozs. Mother and son are doing
fine.
Once again Congrats to Marty
Sperie His lighting display is one
of a group of nine winners in the
Parma area. 1t is at 9ll2 Evergreen
Drive, one block from Pearl and
Snow. l hope to see it this week.
I understand he is dreaming up
something original for next year.
That is the way winners stay Win
ners. Good luck Marty.
My sister-in-law, Minner Klamer
works for the Ohio Bell Company.
She invited us to her branch al
Eddy Road and took US on tour
of the building. l have never in my
life seen such maze of wiring.
Very interesting and such beautl-
full place for women to work. Even
portable refrigeration and sink
outfit. | took one look at all the
girls sitting at the board and had
a hard time looking at something
else. Never in my life have l seen
so many persons sitting in such
peculiar positions! Each girl had
different and more interesting posi-
ton than the other. l applied for a
Job in that room and the supervisor
told me she would call me when
such a position was open.
Well - back to work. fellows.
Saturday, January 2nd, 1854 the
first of our new series and Frank
Hann's committee in on. Show up

There is some talk of taking bus
to New Castle on January 18th for

until then.

ratiOns.
In addition to the sOlOists, Eddie
Adams, Glenn Kitchens, Robert
Clayville and John Thoroughbred,
there will be a chorus presented
from each of the three grades.
Group singing by the entire assem-
bly, will make it possible to include
all children in the program. Mr.. A.
Ray WilkersOn, Elementary Prin-
cipal, is cOOrdinatOr for both pro-
grams. Mrs. Elizabeth Bennett is
in charge of the music. AccOmpa-
nists for the first three grades are
Mrs. Madelyn Kennedy and Mrs.
Norma O'Bier; for the upper
grades. Miss COrdelia Carter, Mrs.
Geraldine Pettyjohn and Joyce
Bennett, a fifth grade student.
We are sorry we are unable to
invite the parents to these two pro-
grams but our enrolment in the
grades will fill the auditorium for
each of the two performances.
The children's Christmas pro-
gram is the result of many class
room activities, developed by them
selves under the guidance of their
teachers, and thus promises to be
an enjoyable affair for all con-
cerned; an appropriate send-Off for
the holiday ahead

Just as surely as if he had extended
a helping hand himself"
After explaining that a major
portion of the National Red Cross
budget, $31, 100000, will be needed
to finance Red Cross services to
the Armed Forces and veterans,
Mr.. Hartman emphasized, THE
nations military force is now at a
peacetime peak and the end of
fighting in Korea has given us an
important new assignment in that
theater undertaken on direct re-
quest of the military-prOviding

The Commission of Fine Arts,

has come to the aid Of collec-

have been campaigning for
more attractive and better

increase the prestige and au-

design of postage stamps. This
could be done in several ways.
such as by creating q position
in the Bureau of Engraving

of the mint's chief sculptor

artists as consultants to par

In connection with the
