Discussion Group Meets

Farm Bureau Discussion group
Number 8 met recently at the home
of MIR. and Mrs. Robert Glotfelty
with six couples attending. James
Opel led the topic, DO You Play
Russian Roulette on Your Farm,
the aim being to make people more
aware of everyday carelessness.
A quiz was conducted pertaining
to the home, farm and farm use
that could be dangerous or cause
serious trouble Average score for
the quiz showed the group "on a
banana peel" Wives double check
ed husbands answers and vice
versa.
The group felt that safety was a
habit in most cases but there were
times when carclessness and being
in a hurry cause serious accidents.
Members felt the topic had helped
in making the group more safety
conscious.
Some slogans suggested by Mrs.
Kenneth Bucket were Improve
Conditions; Minimize Accidents
and BE Safety-conscious, Not I'm
conscious"
The group planned a trip on
August II to some caverns near
Mann's Choice, Pa. The August
meeting will be held at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Glotfelty
with Robert Bucket leader of the
topic, Lets Tell the True Farm
Story"

IN MEMORIAN

In loving memory of our darling
daughter. Judy Ann Paugh, who
passed away one year ago, August
4, 1855
DO not ask us if we miss her,
Oh how often we hear her laughter,
See her pretty smiling face.
Lonely hours, days of sadness,
Tears of silence often flow;
Memory keeps her near us,
God knows how much we loved
her 50.
Sadly missed by
