Practically nothing! Even though interest was high and many people were glued to their television sets watching the opening sessions of the Democratic national convention, 128 members attended the Aug. 26 meeting and inasmuch as this is vacation time, this was a mighty fine record. ; The business of the evening • was quickly dispatched and reports of the officers and com- ; mittees were interesting particu- • larly in reference to the fine ! time the seventy-nine members had on their tour to the baking plant on Aug. 22 even though the mercury soared much higher than was comfortable. Enthusiasm was high in making plans for the tour to the cosmetic plant by the ladies on Friday, Sept. 6. The bus will leave the city parking lot at 11 a.m. Ladies are encouraged to ; be on time because there won't be too much time to enjoy a - stop - over for luncheon on the way if the club must wait for ; stragglers.

The highlight of the evening ! was a very interesting and infor- ; mative talk by Postmaster Le- Roy Smith, after which there was an enjoyable question and ; answer period. Getting to meet, talk and get acquainted with public officials is very pleasant and everyone certainly enjoyed : the postmaster's visit, even if ; he is not yet eligible to join the group.

Schneid- Grandma Sez - - - Seems as though there's so many things t? git a body's mind a percolatin' these days, thetye cain't light on one subject long enough t' come upwi' something t* help the sitiatian from a psychological angle. What wi' the extreme troubles in so many troubled areas in the world, a body kin develope quite a serious outlook on life. The damage was done, and the ounce o* prevention ain't a goin' f do much good now. Only thing t* do as few as I kin see, is t9 try and make corrective measures and pray that they are affective. Countries, like folks, kin find themselves in pretty precarious sitiation, wi'out tryin* very hard, seems t' me. I never wuz one t° interfere in the business 0* other folks, and even if they asked me, I would weigh the problem and perhaps Pd come up wi' the conclusion thet they had better take the responsibility o» dealln' wi' it, theirselves. So many times, a body kin work their fingers t' the bone, helpin* others, and finally realize thet the other feller wuz jitttn* by, leavin9 the whole jobV the helper. Another thing, when it is all said n' done, their ain't no credit issued, but a whole lot o* blame, ef it don't turn out like expected and good feelin's which existed before are spoiled and even destroyed. Sometimes it is better V mind our own business and keep our own house in order. It 'pears t* me thet in helpin' so many others we hev peglected our own house juid. ft, has gotten,purty fad. Pm a prayin* *n a bopin* thet we kin git a good captain and crew, t* pilot this" ship o» state" out o' the rough waters, and it will take more than human patience, wisdom and determination to extricate this country from the web o* involvement we hev floundered into. Now, it seems there is a good chance thet we may be inveigled into flirther acts o' the "Good neighbor policy9' aimed at defendin* our Czech brothers from the Russian communists. We jist better be a might keerful how we distribute ourselves around the globe, 'cause thet is a mighty easy way t* lose a game & chess. I don't mean to ignore folks, in trouble, but a well laid trap could ruin our own chances, seems t' me. Grandma Radtke LEONARD STUDIO PHOTO PAULR. NITZ er officiated at the double ring ceremony.
