A happy gathering enjoyed
lunch at the home of Mrs. Fred
Jobson last week. Twelve ladies
were present for the “Bahama”
party. The pretty table decked
in red with straw hat place mats
and various reminders of the
glamorous isle, was a conversa
tion piece. Slides of Nassau
taken during a recent trip were
enjoyed.
Young Ned Coleman is home
from hospital after a bad time
with respiratory trouble. He is
much better, but still confined
to the house. He is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Coleman of
Elizabeth Drive.
Mr. O. B. Barineau of Wood
land Drive is in hospital at Ft.
MacPherson. It is hoped he will
be home soon. Your cards and
your prayers would be appre
ciated.

Mrs. Hoyt D. (Nancy) Davis of
129 Boling Drive thrilled Forest
Park listeners last Thursday as
she became the champion on
“The Price Is Right” program

pride as the attractive housewife
competed for top honors, and
won the first seat for Friday’s
competition.
The Davis’ possessions increas
ed by S3OOO by her wealth of
knowledge in Thursday’s per
formance. Friday’s yield was a
collection of clocks. One of which
is a space clock that tells time
like “Heinz 57 Varieties” in 19
different ways. Her pet Labrador
was not forgotten, she won a
Cocker Spaniel as a playmate for
it.
“How does one qualify?” we
asked Mrs. Davis. She replied,
“The contestants are invited to
participate right out of the audi
ence.” Eighty responded to the
invitation and by process of

this time was the charm. They
decided that either she or her

Morrow Jr. Woman s Club
Sees Film On World’s Fair
It will take 12 days or 96 hours
to give just the exhibits at the
1964-65 New York World’s Fair
a quick once-over, members of
the Morrow Junior Woman’s
Club learned at their meeting
held Thursday, Jan. 23 at the
Morrow Community Center.
In a film entitled “A Preview
of the Fair,” club members saw
renderings of many of the more
than 200 exhibits pavilions to be
located on the 646-acre site when
the Fair opens in Flushing Mea
dow Park on April 22, 1964. The
Fair will remain open for two
six-month periods.
Club members learned that the
Fair will be fun and hoopla—a
circus, Swiss skyride and aqua
cade are planned—and it will
also provide a look into the past
and an exciting glimpse into the
future. The House of Tomorrow
at the Better Living Pavilion will
attract many of the 80 million
visitors as will the Travelers In
surance Company’s “Triumph of
Man” exhibit which will take
people back through the cen
turies. The past, present, and fu
ture will all be part of the Fair’s
attraction.
Two free admission tickets to
the Fair were presented by Club
President, Mrs. Lee Speir to Mrs.
William C. Crane, the door prize
for the club program. The film
and tickets were presented com
pliments of the Travelers Insur
ance Companies. Hostesses at the
meeting were Mrs. H. C. Hayes
