We received our pins and some received their fly-up wings. We entertained our guests with singing. We served them coffee, tea, kool-aid and cake. They all had a good time. Alicia Sweeney, Scribe. Brownie Troop Brownie troop 464 had a lovely and impressive investiture on Tuesday, Dec. 3. Each child gave her Brownie pi-omise and received her pin and membership card signifying that each had learned the rules and fulfilled the requirements for membership. The new Brownies sang for their mothers and played games with each mom and daughter as partners. There were some pretty spry mommies present. Refreshments provided by the committee mothers were served and more game® were played. After the ceremonies were over, the mothers left with a feeling of great pride and the daughters with an earned feeling of accomplishment. Brownie Holiday Schedule Due to Dec. 24 and Dec. 31 falling on Tuesday there Will be a slight change in the Brownie schedule. On Dec. 24 the Brownies will meet at the regular time, but will go Christmas caroling. Be sure to be warmly dressed. There will be no meeting on Dec. 31, New Years Eve. Woman's Club The Woman's club meeting was called to order last Thursday in a Christmas decorated hall to put us into the holiday mood. A short business meeting was hl?M and monies and tickets were turned in. Jo Rizzo announced that all is going well for the Christmas party which is being held at the Country Club and reminded the girls to get their dollars in so she can send them their invitations. Also, not to forget their grab bag gifts. The meeting was then adjourned and the girls were asked to stay and help work on the decorations for the Snowball Dance. With the many willing hands we had the decorations were put together in short order, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Coffee and cake were served along with a tray of French pastry which was left over from our fashion show. The Snowball dance which was last Saturday was a huge success. One hundred and fiftytwo people turned out to enjoy the dance. Everyone seemed to be having a ball. Belated Birthday Belated birthday greetings to Lee Glorch who turned 39 (Jack Benny's age) on Dec. 6 and to Marge Webber who also celebrated on the sixth. Sorry we' missed yo.tr date girls but we hope you had a nice day.

Ann was most complimentary of Miss Diller's performance and also told of what a wonderful person she is both off and on stage. Also attending the celebration from Topeka, Kans. were Helen's granddaughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Kesig, and Ann's great grandson, Robbie. The whole extended Thanksgiving vacation from talking to Ann was really one to be remembered. Shi: ley and Chuck Lexow.

That's quite a new car Glor and Ken have. I miss Gloria's teasing and am waiting for summer when they become full time residents. Was real happy to havfe had a brief visit with Lloyd Wagner who came home last Thursday. Lloyd looks like he's lost a lot of weight. I'm sure he'd like to hear from or see his many friends as he'll be confined for a while yet io his home. We're glad your home and we know your family is too.

Joining them for supper and all of Helen's home made goodies were, Ed, Kay, Dennis and Kevin Druml. Everyone had a ball. Gene in his usual way had everyone laughing si. hard that their sides all ached. Proving ho can ho serious; Gene obtained a very wonderful stereo phonograph to be taken out to Dixon as part of the Scouts Drive. Helen and Gene, both wonderful people!
