Great news ! Hewing to a "hold the line" policy, the committee voted to keep prices the same as previous years ! Donation remains $2.50 per person. Reservations: call party chairman Mrs. John Rogers, 29475, Mrs. Gordon Evans, 95932, Mrs. Glen Hope, 44322 or Mrs. John Hales, 21510.
Features: a French door prize (donated by the Myron Gazins) and special hors'd oeuvre offer. This time, instead of merely admiring it, you may BUY the recipe for your favorite, right on the spot !
FREE FILM program plays to SRO audiences. Next showing is Thursday, May 13, city council chambers, ELSA THE LIONESS, a BBC production (not the American lioness). Because of its popularity, the FREE FILM program will be continued through the summer. Next dates are June 10, July 8, August 12.
After wild intellectual ferment in the younger set, deadline for our annual JUNIOR WRITING AND ILLUSTRATING CONTEST closed May 7 and entries are in the hands of judges Geraldine Wadhams and John Jancar, English and art instructors respectively, at MCHS. There were nearly 200 entries. Winners will be announced late May. Watch the newspapers.

SEE THEM AT THE LIBRARY
MEMBERSHIP grows steadily thanks to the efforts of Betty Ryan who announces we now have 176. One of the largest in the county.
DO YOU NEED LIBRARY SERVICE at home? Do you know someone who does? Mrs. Laird Stabler is shaping the program: volunteers stand at the ready to carry books to shut-ins, or to those who simply can't get to the library as often as they'd like. Check with Eloise at 92535.
Personal: former Presidents Mary Edgerton and Lorraine Hales both at home RECOVERING from recent illnesses. Both under orders to rest VERY HARD !
SEE YOU ALL AT THE PARTY ! Patricia A. Gazin
