"e're starting off this paper
with apologies. The first is for
the way the March newsletter was
mimeographed. 'e didn't do it our-
selves last time but ore hope that
we won't have another one come out
Rith so many specks on it. The
second is an apology in advance for
this one because due to a time
limit (and 5 kids,) we will have to
eliminate our '',,-EMBERS TO EZI;TIOiT,
and shorten the whole works. Hope
to get back up to normal by biay.
Our final apology is for the
way we jump from one subject to
another and sometimes repeat our-
selves. But this comes from being
new on the job. Probably should
take some lessons from that famous
columnist in heck, "ettie.

Anyway, back to work for this
month. Wonderful turnout at the
Carpenters. Fourteen tables and
enough left over to make 15 but
no table. Took in over $40.00.
Bob and Lee send their appreciation.
0ext card party at Blanche
and Ralph Lovelace's on the 29th.
le sure hope that Levi Harrington
can make it along with his crew.
There's a little something we'd
like to explain to him.
The r•,itch Gray's will host a
card party in their basement on r -i
13th of May. Nope that 13 isn't
an unlucky number. For those of
you who found it crowded at the
last few parties, you will be
pleased to know that the basement
is large enough to hold many noisy
people and move around too.

It has been called to our att-
ention that the Moreland Grange is
now having card parties. ;e will
add Moreland to our list of card
parties to attend along with `dat-
kins and Burdett. Several of our
people have traveled over there
already and some of the others plan
to.
If you have anything you want
put in our newsletters, such as
these card parties, please feel
free to let us know and we will do
our best.
;we're happy to report that an
order has been placed for our over
50 year member pins. Further de-
tails on when these will be given
out will be coming along. Anyone
wishing to donate to this fund to
insure having money in the years to
come for our pins may do so by
contacting ,4arena Ramsey, anytime.
'le extend our sympathy to Doris
and Woody Specht for the loss of
his mother on the 12th of April.
Mrs. Specht had been ill for quite
some time. The 12th of April was
also the 25th wedding anniversary
for the Specht's.
Those of our card party players
who have been in the hospital since
our last issue include Elsie Gould
and Pearl Rolfe, both for obser-
vation.• They are home now and perk-
ing well.
One of our very dear friends,
however, is not yet home and perk-
ing. This, of course, is Susie
Hansen who fell the 7th of April,
(three days before her 80th birth-
day,) and broke her hip. A more
cheerful person we have never seen.
As of this writing, Susie has had
her cast removed, her stitches out
and is starting therapy. Our
prayers go out to you Susie and we
will all be walking with you from
now on.
See if you can figure out how
often the following could occur?
Bob and Ruthann Scofield have 3
children. This Year, the oldest
will be 22 on Nov. 22nd. The 2nd
was 19 on Feb. 19th and the third
will be 16 on July 16th. I couldn't
even find anyone with two children
having their birthdate coincide
with their age in the same year.
On our vacation we found some
cute things we would like to comment
on. !e bet you didn't know that
the payor of Mobil, Alabama is
named Arthur Outlaw.
And that when we came to a
detour in lower Pennsylvania, in-
stead of saying detour, the signs
read - "Temporary Run Around."
Back to jumping around, we
have found that a lot of people
would like to keep the card parties
running past their normal deadline.
W d like to know what you think
of this. T:1e'll keep having them
if you'll keep coming.
-Te have to add the Clinton
Stevensons, Ruth and 'Nancy Dean,
and Herm Brown to list of people
venturing off to Florida in the
past weeks. And Mildred Stark is
taking off this week for Virginia
to visit a daughter. Have fun
Mildred.
At the March meeting, which
was held at 74arenals,, the following
people were recognized for their
talents in the cookie contest:
let: Doris Specht
2nd: Susie Hansen
3rd: Mildred Stark
Te understand that all seven
entries were delicious. Congrat-
ulations:
;le are very pleased to welcome
our new members who have completed,
their degree work. '/e hope to see
all of you at our May 9th meeting
at Rog and Bev Brown's.
