Junior Auxiliary The juniorauxiliary of the American Legion Will continue their drive for used, clean and wearable clothing for ,men, women and children. Potato chip cans and old greeting cards are needed for the making of baskets; also used ties so that the veterans who fought for us might have a little something1 for Christmas. Toys are wanted sq that a real Christmas can be had by children who have no families to care about them. If anyone has . a pair of eye glasses which have gold-colored frames, they are needed very badly by the veterans (only the frames). For a pick-up of the items listed, please call Mrs. Michels, Wonder Lake 4381. Please, all women, put your coupons in the veterans' boxes in our stores. The veterans receive so many different benefits from these coupons. At this time the Juniors would like to give a very big "thank you" to Mr. '"and Mrs. Wally Dean and, Nancy Elberson for donations making it possible for them to build up a treasury so that we may continue to buy materials to keep on with our work. Special meetings are planned for Sunday evfcnirtgs. These services are distinctly devotional and evangelical in character. This, we believe, is the need of the hour with young and old.

Long time ago in Europe a young man in love would pick a certain blue blossom in the morning and place it in his pocket. If, after twenty-four hours the flower was- still fresh and bright, the marriage he was thinking of would be happy. But, if the flower was faded, the marriage would be unhappy. Naturally, flowers don't hold-up well under these conditions, and many men followed this test and remained bachelors. Hence, the flower got its name. Ang speaking of tests, you'll find that by giving GUETTLER'S CITIES SERVICE a test on any of your needed c\ar services, your satisfaction of the good jobs we do will blossom.
