WindfaII Comes From Former Resi-
dents: ChiIdren's Hour Held
Each, "Wednesday

There has been no report for a
while from the Village Library.
We could blame this silence on the
weather, but that wouldn't be en-
tirely true. Groggy or not, some
people seem to generate ideas, no
matter what the weather, and the
latest innovation in The Chill
dren's Hour at The Village Lii
brary each Wednesday morning
from 1000 to 11:30. We felt it
advisable to limit the ages from
four through ten. Those younger
than four, for no good reason
other than their age, just find it
impossible to remain still. Those
over ten are beginning to acquire
interests that have nothing to do
with a good fairy story and are
only intent on getting out and
pursuing these interests. However
any mothers with children under
four who think their children
would like the story hour and are
willing to accompany them to
these sessions are more than well
come, Mrs. Virginia Hudgins re-
ports.
Volunteers to conduct the week
ly story hour have been contacted.
There was no ship, bottle of cham
payne or band on hand for our
launching, but Mrs. Mary Balance
did a grand job of getting our
program underway without these
usual adjuncts. Her stories were
Cinderella" and Sleeping Beau
ty."
Mrs. Alice Gray will be present
each week to conduct the musical
portion of the program. Il would
like to take this opportunity of
throwing a bouquet in Mrs. Gray's
direction. Here is young mother
of four small children who, no
matter how pressing her duties at
home, finds time to give so I'M
stintingly of herself in the inter-
ests of village and school activi-
ties, and always with such envi-
able cheerfulness. Our eternal
thanks for all the "Mrs. Grays"
everywhereD
There will be light refreshments
at the end of each program.
The children present at our
first Children's Hour were: Cheryl
Brown, Ruth and Sue Sparrow,
Debby, Rosa Alice and Annalee
Gray, Margie and Melody Gray,
Allen Burrus, Joe and Rosa Anne
Farrow, Mona and Shawn Craig.
