An essay contest is being held in both groups. There also will be a scrap book contest and the junior members will dress dolls in the costume Of the country. Our Foreign Relations study program is one of the auxiliary's most colorful and interesting activities and we hope to make it an especially attractive part of our unit's 1965 activities. During the past two years our foreign relation program has helped to build thirteen school houses in the Dominican Republic and dig nearly 100 wells in Ecuador through our "Pennies for Pumps" project last year. This year's special project for Costa Rica will be announced in the near future. Bea Meath was not present to accept the attendance award. Veteran's Craft gifts were presented to Lydia Fenner and Eleanore Reid. The next auxiliary meeting will be held Dec. 21. A potluck supper at 6:30 will precede the meeting. Instead of the usual Christmas gifts for the hospitalized veterans brought to this meeting, each member is asked to donate a quarter for the purchase of canteen books. These books will enable the patients to buy what they need. There will be a gift exchange between the members and all attending are asked to bring ca/ined goods or staples for the Christmas baskets to be distributed to needy families. Remember the Veterans Craft when you are Christmas shopping. There is a beautiful selection on display at the Legion home at all times. All monies from the purchase of veterans' craft is returned to the veteran himself. The operation of the craft shop and its overhead is paid for by the American Legion auxiliary. Your purchase will help a disabled veteran. Look oyer the display at the Legion home and help someone less fortunate than you. REVOKE TWO LICENSES; MANY OTHERS SUSPENDED Secretary of State William H.

THOUGHTLESS DRIVING Thoughtless acts and "thoughtless" thoughts produce the same devastating results on the highway. The Institute for Safer Living states that far too many motorists use their driving time for thinking about matters far removed from the serious business of driving. They often drive into an emergency situation without actually realizing it. Think -- but think only of your driving.
