club voted to continue its
monthly meetings for at least
a few more months. Since the
Home Demonstration year ends
in November and begins in De¬
cember there was a general dis¬
cussion by the members as to
whether the club should dis¬
band due to the lack of an
agent or try to carry the meet¬
ings on, perhaps as quilting
bees or regular gatherings with
demonstrations being given by
the members.
New ofifeers for the coming
months were then elected, with
Mrs. Sonny McMahan as presi¬
dent, Mrs. Bill Austin, vice pre¬
sident, and Mrs. Clifton Cagle

mittees will be named at the
next meeting, which will be the

imer as hostess. At this time,
members will exchange inex¬
pensive gifts.

sor a Christmas Door Decorat¬

awarded the winners. Judges

Also trying her hand at de¬
corating with greens, colorful
leaves and dried flowers was
Mrs. H. F. Allison, who, with
Mr. Allison, had something
special in mind while decorat¬
ing. Thanksgiving was the oc¬
casion of a long-awaited visit
from daughter Irene and fam¬
ily, frem Leesburg, Fla., whose
last trek home dates back
about a year. Little “Chuck”
received a pre-Christmas pres¬
ent of a bright red hobby horse
from his maternal grand¬
parents to take home. Speak¬
ing of hobbies, his father has
quite an interesting one, which
keeps bo h men in the family
busy. It’s an intricate model
railroad which is slowly pro-
gressing toward completion.

The football game between
Valley Head and Fort Payne
captured their interest for the
aLernoon, but after dark they
turned hosts and served a late
to the "Sonny McMahans
following the movie at the Dade
Theater. While we’re on the
subject of James Milton, re¬
cently we reported on his fish¬
ing trip taken with J. B. Ged-
die which was “fishless’’, we
thought. However, that account
came from J. B., but James
tells us that he caught
good-sized one! Apologies are
extended to Mr. Rogers in the
that this paper will never
make such a grave mis¬
take.
