Purpose Of Clubs
Recited Here In

Back in 194S several young
mothers of West jefferson made
the decision that something had to
be done for the children of the
community, they organized the
first Mothers Club in West Jeffer-
son and on July 13 became affili-
ated with the Ohio Child Conser-
walton League. This movement was
originated by Mrs. Everett Ellin-
ger, who at that time was a new
conner from Kirkersville.
Today from this original move
ment, the area now has the four
such organizations, that have done
much and are still doing a great
deal for the community of chill
dren.
The original cIuD sponsored a
tea in the club year of '54-'55 at
the Methodist Church and invited
all the mothers of the community
to attend. From this eventful meet
ing the three following groups
were formed. THE Buttons to

Local People From Here Visit Home
Conducted BY Lutherans Near Toledo

A visitation meeting was held re-
Gently by the women of Zion Mis-
sionary Society of the Lutheran
Church in West Jefferson ,at the
Williston Home of Mercy which is
near Toledo.
The club was very much i'm
pressed by the personality of the
man behind the home. the Rev.
Max Schleicher. 1t was he who
launched the home during the de-
preston year of 1929 with no
funds on hand. Under the guild
ance of Rev. Schleicher, it has
grown to point of national rec
ognition, and is set up to care
especially for the blind, lame, deaf,
epilectics and the feeble minded
who are unable to gain admittance
into other recognized institutions.
Lutheran in nature, it is non
denominational in operation. Pro-
testant, Catholic and Jewish faiths
are represented among the pa
tients. Entrance to the Home is de-
termined on the basis of need-not
denomination. Some pay their way,
some can only pay part, while
many have no financial resources
at all when they enter the home.
The group from West Jefferson
on this tour were Rev. and Mrs.
Daniel Snider, Gertrude Smith,
Ruth Johnson, Miriam Shipley,
Dora Burnside, Emma Bradley,

ship was divided into several COM
mittees which were responsible for
some division of the financial prob
lem. There were bake sales, school
census, stamp collections, paper
drives and even to the selling of
Dutch Maid Clothes all being
sponsored by the group to raise
the needed money.
So once again the time has come
when another fund raising prob
lem has been discussed. Another
Kindergarten teacher is needed to
assist Mrs Ardrey. A drive is on
to raise money for such a project.
This time it is being sponsored by
the Towne and Country Club, and
a very large amount is needed for
sufficient funds.
Since the Towne and Country
was organized they have fulfilled
the ten achievements required.
Money was earned by holding bake
sales and all the other require
ments formerly mentioned.
The Three Merry Merriman
Gel. have done much in the past
two years by giving their services
to the teen-canteen, when it was
in effect and they also had a stand
at the 1856 Ok Roast.
The Buttons to Beaux Gel
was organized in 1855 when it be-
came apparent that the two new
groups were not sufficient to han
die the ladies interested in the
wonderful organization. So Mrs
HURT, the district president, came
from Washington G. H. and met
with nine women at the home OF
Mrs. Ralph Cramer and the former
club became active. This group
worked along with their husbands
at the refreshments booth on the
ball grounds. They too have donat-
ed to the various worthwhile org
aniZations and they now have Il
members.
The West Jefferson residents art
very proud of these young mother:
who have worked very hard tt
help make the children in the com
munity happier and provide then
with things to do and make les!
idle time for them.

Increases Asked
For Disabled,
Widows, Orphans

Women of the American Lee
gion Auxiliary are following
with interest progress of bills
before Congress to grant cost-of-
living increases in the compensa-
ton of the war disabled and
widows and orphans of the dead,
and TO give protection to war
veterans in their old age, accord

Bills before both the Senate
and the House provide modest
increases in the monthly COM
pensation payments of more than
two million veterans of the two
World Wars and the Korean con-
flict who have service-connected
disabilities. The last increase to
this group, a very small one, was
granted three years ago.
The new bills would increase
the compensation rate for veter-
ans ten per cent disabled from
the present SIT to $40 per month,
with veterans 90 per cent dis
abled increased to $40, and so
on up to $3.50 for those 80 per

would be increased.
Other bills would Gberalize the
basis of payment and increase
the monthly rates of death pen
sions payable to widows and
children of deceased war veter-
ans. They would make widows
