w@¥+ Because yours truly drives past t¥e Truaian Elementary every morning, and thence on down Tru- man to drop Joan at the Convent =could not help but notice the kids going to school. And golly! The ones I've seen are a bunch of good-looking healthy and happy kids. Sorta picks up the day to see them either strolling, skipping, walking or rac- ing to their home of the “Three R’s”. And then I thought of all the mommas who had waved good- bye to their young uns who left the doorstep all clean and spruc- ed up—and how those same mommas wouldn’t mind too much when the kids returned with clothes torn, tired, dirty, hungry and happy or otherwise at the end of the school day. It has always been puzzling to me how children can get so disheveled in such a short time—but they do. And then I thought of all the teachers in Our Town and the great responsibility which is theirs and how worthy they are of it. Teaching is no great shakes for the “easy job” and, next ta Tarents, these are the individuals ‘who play such an’ important part and mean so much—to your kids. Consequently yours truly feels that we all really owe a great appreci- ation to all those who have volun- tarily undertaken to care and teach—the young. With kids and homes in mind, perhaps yours truly can this day —help you all find the way to the shops, with their buys and bar- gains? PORAY “STUDIO IS NOW OPEN! Returning from vaca- tion, this excellent studio will continue its regular hours of 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and al- théugh there have been recent renovations, its address is still 404 SOUTHARD.

Be- lieve poor Eddie Leopard and Duane Stuart are still wondering about yours truly’s barrelling out of her car and running down the street after them—to tell them about Joan’s phonograph. —So, here’s a ‘thanks’ for carry- ing the message to “Pratt’s” and sure did admire those natutical yachting caps the boys were wear- ing!

Ss ea My Red Shawl returned the other evening clutching a road map—and then, pointing out the following, she said she had learn- ed of “Miss Ruth” Galey’s travels this summer. First, with “Miss Minnona” Sea- grove she went to Amherst, Mass., and thence to New York. From there she visited the ‘Friendly City” Philadelphia, and then took off for the midwest where she saw Dr. Galey’s sister, Ruth Rose who, with her husband is living in Columbia, Mo. On her return, she stopped off in Robertson, Illinois where she was a guest of a college roomate and also saw Pat (Sandquist) Heath. My Red Shawl agreed with me; that we all are real lucky and glad to have “Miss Ruth” back in Our Town after four months of a wonderful time—just galla- vantin’. ~~ At 522 Elizabeth Street in the home of Phoebe Hazelwood Moore you'll find a delightful surprise awaiting you. Now you can purchase some of her famous silhovettes—either of you, your children or perhaps you‘d prefer some of the pictures done in black and white. You will find these a work of art and Miss Phoebe’s talent and fame for readily apparent.
