The contest was under the direction of Mrs. Theresa Schultz. It would be difficult and almost impossible to name all the people who contributed to the success of the affair. It was truly a demonstration of an entire community working ja complete harmony and a spirit of co-operation for the good of the village. Bill Walter deserves heaps of praise with his handling of the affair as general chairman. He was assisted by Ed Hammerstein, Don Parenti and Arthur Stuhlfeier and many, many others. All in all, it was a fine affair and the funds realized will be used fcfr beacji improvement. A policies are in Order ' To the public for the rides which were advertised, but not available.

Mr. Walter, general chairman, would like to extend humble apologies for something which could not be helped.

During the convention, the women met Mildred Gunn who is the national president and attended all the sessions' which were very educational. Their free time was devoted to cruising the finer eating houses in Chicago. It was very worthwhile and now it will be up to the women to report back to the auxiliary so the other members may benefit.
