The Newsette Reports Well, here is the April issue we promised you even though it is October. A combination of events, headed by amecessary delay in obtaining permission to print the Forest Service Report showing the condition of our watersheds helped make us tardy. And, then too, you would never dream how much more difficult it is to take up a thing after you have once laid off. We didnt realize what a big job it used to be! But here is what should be the very last issue ever to be published by The Newsette. Weve had a great deal of fun isgetting up these twenty-nin- e sues. Weve learned who the folks are who support community projects of this sort, and weve found which folks criticize a lot but dig up? never! Heading the list of donors since we last went to press is that contributor, C. H. Smith, followed by Orval Leak, Alf Randall, Luther Dalrymple, Curtis Egbert, Herbert Haacke, and Joseph Cardall. per-renni- al o Death Takes Two Local Matrons This summer saw two of our neighbors in Centerville pass away Mrs. Jeanette Smith Warren and Mrs. Charlotte (Lottie) White Harris, both 63 years of age. Mrs. Warren was born in Centerville and although she had lived elsewhere for a number of years, she returned to Centerville for several years before her death. She was an active member of the ward and of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. She had served in the Relief Society, the MIA, Sunday School and Primary. Mrs. Harris was born in Huntsville, Alabama, and has lived in Centerville forXhe past fourteen years. An active worker in the Red Cross, she had knitted over a hundred sweaters, as well as many pairs of stockings and other items. She was also affiliated with the Daughters of the American Revolution. She was a member of St. Josephs Catholic Church in Ogden. Who Wants Newsettes Bound? Many of you had your first volume of The Newsette bound into book form. It makes a nice o volume. little ten to have or more By getting it done at one time, we secured a price of $2 each, with the owners name, the papers name and handy-to-refer-t- the volume number printed on the cover in gold. A lot of you have spoken to us about having the large sizes bound similarly. We would guess that the price would be around $3 per book for this job, inasmuch as the size of the sheet is larger and there are 17 copies to be bound instead of 12. This price is not guaranteed, but is just our guess. It may possibly be higher. At any rate we will take orders from you who want your copies bound then, when we know how many there will be, we will be able to get a price. Look up your copies and turn them in to any member of the staff before November 1. Be sure and write your name just as you want it to be imprinted on the cover of your book. Hand us $3 toward the price of the binding and imprinting, and we will settle whatever difference there may be, one way or the other, when you get your book. o Improvements And Speaker System In Ward Chapel Another project undertaken by the ward bishopric to make better conditions in the chapel is the installing of a loudspeaker system. The system will be installed as soon as parts arrive. More than $400 was raised in connection with the recent Primary pageant and other means, to fully pay for the equipment. When it is all installed, the chapel will have two microphones, one for the pulpit and one for the choir section and two speakers for the wings. The microphones will be installed in such a way that it will be possible to use them for outside programs. Also, the driveway on the south side of the chapel has been graded and will soon be oiled. New chairs, carpet and drapes have been added to the Relief Society room. The money for these additions was raised by the Relief Society at bazaars. o .
