With the, cIosIng OF Labor Day

sad because it seems as though
it is the closing of summer.
Schools reopen and plans are
made in the various communities

busy winter, so from time to
time this reporter hopes she will
know about what is to come, so
she can tell you good readers.

space to compliment Gathers

this past one was the best. Con

corps of workers who helped
make it so successful, and this
reporter hopes the next one is
as spectacular.
News from this city is hard to
find this week. The past week
end has been busy for many of
our residents, and am sure that
the comings and goings of most
of them will not be forthcoming
until the following week. Many
of our families simply rested at
home, had a picnic or two and
was just plain lazy.
We understand that Mrs. Louis
Grossman has returned home af-
ter a recent trip to New York
City last week.
