The date, as originally announced, was May 15. This should have been June 15, and the party is to be held at the American Legion hall in Woodstock. The public is invited.

"Moving Week" in the Chicago schools many of the weekend folks took advantage of the holiday, and the lovely weather to come out and do a little planting in the gardens, mowing' on the lawns, and washing of the windows. Mrs. E. L. Anderson of Lookout Point not only brought her own family but eighteen other boys and girls. These youngsters, all 'teenagers from the North Austin Methodist Youth Fellowship group, and young Edward Anderson, have been really enjoying the country life. The boys brought out their Boy Scout tents and set them up\ in a neat row behind the Anderson cottage, and are sleeping outside, two to a tent. The girls are quartered inside the cottage, and just so that Mrs. Anderson could have a little companionship, her Austin neighbor, Mrs. Larson, is also a house guest. lare i a reminder, folks, don't for-> m. « . -----<•- ^ according to Mr. Winkel, will be 25 P* your rubber stamps , t^J 6!

Nowhere in our community was the news of this coming service received with more enthusiasm than at the regular monthly meeting of the Screwy Docen, which was held at Horns Community Center last Sunday evening. Paul Struck, who attended the commissions final hearing as a representative of this , group, made his report on the matter at this meeting, and when the assembly learned that the franchise had been awarded to the W. A. F. Co., President Jerry Cermak had difficulty in bringing the meeting back to oitler. That news was really TNT to this crowd.

Young Richard Hoffman was injured in a playground accident, but is on the way to recovery. A bad cut on the head was given first aid by the teachers. The Walter Frosts were pretty thrilled this week when son Raymond J. Frost and his bride of one year, Helen, drove in from Tallahasse, Florida.
