She suggested making reservations at once as seating capacity is limited. The dinner party will be Monday, Dec. 11, at 6:30 p.m., and the deadline for reservations with Louise Giel is Monday, Dec. 4. For those who cannot attend the dinner, the - meeting and program will start about 7:30 p.m. Helen Strandquist also reported that the refreshments, the delicious kolachkis, were supplied by Mr. and Mrs. Pittner, who joined the club in September.

Grandma Sez • • • Seems that, the important issues, in these critical times, weigh heavily on the mind o' folks, who take real int'rest, a tryin't' understand the workin' o' things in diplomatic circles, where this nation carries the burden o' peacemaker, per- tecter o' the oppressed, an' still attempts t' pacify the curiosity o' meddlesome citizens, who draw their conclusions from heresay, not a takin' the trouble t' find out the facts, an' who don't ha' the least idee o' how complicated the problem is. They jist don't take inter consideration that there's more 'n one voice in comin't' final conclusions, relatin' t' peace. I c'n git me dander up, o'er the trouble-makers, a puttin' 'emselves in the limelight, wi' their do-gooder intentions. T' me own mind, they do more harm 'n good, 'n better leave matters t' folks who know the facts. It takes both sides t' bring about a practical solution t' any problem. The trouble wi' folks is, they're alius ready t' criticize, an' nine times out o' ten, they're a chargin' the wrong party. It ain't ever wise t' draw conclusions, 'til all the facts 're in. The job o' bein' mediator, 'atween two warin' factors, requires more careful 'n jist a gittin' the opposition t' agree t* terms. It ain't a happy sitiation t' be the guy in the middle. The possibility is, he could end up wi' all the recrimination, wi' all his honest endeavors twisted out o' per- poration, leavin' him the scapegoat. An we don't want America t' play that role. . Folks ha' the tendency t' side in wi' the popular gossip, too willin't' let the other feller do his thinkin' fer him, 'stead a usin his own analytical ability. Anyone, wise enough t' sit down, an' figger the whole chess game, c'n very well see the maneuvers a goin' on, by the aggressors, an' it's all fer the purpose o' accomplishin' the ends they set out fer, in the first place. Seems that man's known strife since he wuz created. If all the effort, put forth t' engage in warfare, wuz directed toward developin' the wonderful mind, we'd not be fightin' t'day. If man'd only rise above the childishness, the futility, an' the waste, an' use the wonderful gifts bestowed on him by the Great Creator, the rewards'd be fantastic. The groundwork 's been laid, o'er many months o' dedicated effort, t' bring about a state o' peaceful existence in the Orient, an't' develop a better understandin' atween those governments. It could result in settin' the framework fer a peaceful world, where men c'n git t' gether t' solve differences, wi'out bloodshed. The quagmire o' cir­ cumstances in the warin' countries, if not settled t' the best int'rests o' the people, would eventually change our way o' life, ye c'n be sure. Folks don't know what that'd be like. They go along, protestin't' the interruption o' their daily lives, but it's remarkable how little they know about the way things work. There's a man, in the highest position in our country, who's not a goin't' let us be taken fer the proverbial "Buggy-ride", if he c'n help it. A man we're fortunate t' hev, wi' a vision, an' foresight an' ability t' necessary t' handle this touchy problem. The magnanimous question t' be solved, in the world, depends on how he handles it. It is in his hands, an the future o' the world may depend on the outcome. It could well-be the most serious time in the history o' our freedom-lovin' America. It jist might even be a time fer the right decision t' be in­ strumental in determinin' the peace o' the world. Grandma Radtke Diane L. Voight, Craig S. Pierce Exchange Vows Miss Diane L.
