genuine interest in what they

record which their club main-
tains.

present holds the position of
Assistant to the Plant Manager.
The couple is now residing at
their home on the Talley Bridge
Road in Slater.
Girl's Club Have
Game and Picnic
A combined ball game and
picnic may be a little unusual,
but that's just what the Girl's
Library Club had last week -
and it was fun.
The girls met in the library
on Monday afternoon, and af-
ter selecting their books, went
to the Slater Ball Park where
they played softball. When
everyone was tired and hungry
enough to really enjoy a good
sandwich, the girls unpacked
their lunches which were tasty
enough to tempt even the most
trivial appetite - but no appe-
tite is ever trivial on such out-
door occasions. Each girl furn-
ished her own lunch, and
drinks were supplied by the
Slater Community Association.
Although several of the club
members could not be present
because of special scout activi-
ties, fourteen girls attended.
And we almost forgot to men-
tion the ''visitors'' - Ann
Thompson's two dolls, Phoebe
Ann and Patricia Ann.
Those attending the picnic
were: Sandra Burgess, Freida
Thornton, Violet Ross, Ann
Thompson, Mary Ann Tilley,
Patsy Tilley, and Marcelle Bu-
chanan.
Also: Sarah Faye Johnson,
Nancy Stephenson, Elaine Fos-
ter, Frances Ellis, Barbara Lou
Hester, and Imogene Parker.
The librarian invites all girls
between the ages of 8 and 12,
who are not already members
of the Girls' Library Club, to
join. These girls need the club,
and the club needs them.
Advice to loose talkers:
Build a better mouth trap.
