ed for their valuable efforts are'
the W. T. Leas who serve as vice- 1
president and treasurer, respec- 1
tively, and Mrs. J. C. Wallen,,'
secretary of the club. Thus
spark-plugged, the entire pop-’
ulation went all-out during the;
past year to give the commun-j
ity a face-lifting that is deserv-
ing of the highest award offer-
ed in the contest.
Community and spiritual co¬
operation and education was cit—!
emphasized, and Wildwood
izens are able to say proudly!
that they have achieved every
goal they set up for themselves
Several new clubs have been
organized, the most recent be-'
ing the Men’s Club, with all!
groups working together in pro-;
moting each project, including
the installation of more tele

had movable partitions installed
to make either Sunday School
rooms or a large eating area;
a library in the church has also
been started, the first 200 books
being donated by Mr. and Mrs

with ventilator makes serving
so easy that the cooks, who were
also leaders in the improvement
effort sat down with the guests
of honor during the Monday
luncheon for the judges.
New Signs
Harold Cash gave the boy
scout troop a big boost by donat¬
ing a tenant house for a club¬
house. Bulldozers have been busy
in the community,, grading off
lawns, c,utting into hills,, level¬
ing fields and digging ponds.
W. T. Lea,, who says he “hauled
off everybody’s junk and put it
in his own yard,” is responsible
for the attractive new black,
signs which 1

were put up recently at either
end of the community and at
