talked with either of these lead

to her many years of work. Mrs.
Stewart, having returned from
her business in Toledo has been
able to devote all of her time to
volunteer community service.
Two years ago, she was one of
team of two women to reore-
sent the u. S. as Goodwill Am

Pacific Union Women's group in
Manila. Mrs. Stewart was very
colorful in her PHILIPPINE attire
and jewelry as she spoke briefly
on Monday night at the Florida
Night Program. Mrs. Stewart was
also named Toledo's Woman of
the Year and is in line for Lane
Bryant Award for Community
Service.
Mrs. Edith Mccall Dunning

principal of Howard Academy

here. A number of her former
Ocala friends were so pleased to
see her. Mrs. Dunning. who lives

week before Christmas is the
traditional time for what we call
our pre-Christmas sort"
All the new presents we've COL
lected for family and friends
somehow sparks us to root
through all our things, sorting
out the old and unused. and
making space for the new.
Ties, scarfs and gloves are good
items to start off the sorting
spree. There are always ones that
are out of style, worn or beyond
revival. We sometimes even turn
up a few ties, especially, which
were received last Christmas and
have never been worn. All these
are tossed into the outgoing pile
which is destined for Goodwill
Industries or the Salvation Army.
If your children are restless
as they likely are at this time of
Iyear-you can set them to the
task of sorting out old and un-
used toys. These can be delivered
to one of the fine groups which
collects used toys for repair and

Almost nothing is sacred in
this pre-Christmas sort. Clothes,

nearly everything is gone over
with a view toward passing on

After this sorting is over, it's
surprising how much more en-
