Money for equipment? A
teacher? A place? There were
many problems involved in max
ing an idea a reality-but there
were many friends, too. Mrs.
Hukari, former head librarian
at North Branch, and Miss Jean
Hoffman, present head, were
on hand to give encouraging ad-
vice and helpful suggestions.
Soon doors began to open
the doors of st. James Luther

his congregation welcomed the
project as a community serv-

ginia Hyle, came forward to
accept the challenging job of

on their experience as nursery
teachers-and on their magma

this Tuesday morning at Trinity
E. U. B. Church marks mile
stone of achievement for all
those who have contributed TO
its success.
Only three years ago the
playschool was an idea in the
mind of its present teacher,
Mrs. Ruth Boudreau. Soft-spok-
en- but determined, Ruth Boud-
reau set out to convince other
mothers at the pre-school moh-
ers' meetings of North Branch
Library. She pointed out the
benefits to their children dem
onstrated by the weekly Ii
brary play-hours.
"We wanted a nursery school
at a price we could afford, but
still get the benefits and stand
ards of an expensive school, "
recalls Ruth Bolldreau. "The
only answer was to run it our
selves"
AS Ruth Boudreau showed pic
lures and articles about what
other mothers were doing for
their children, the cooperative
idea slowly began to take hold.
