Show H Green jjffilMV, A Letter from Pearl, lona and Barbara.... CLUBWOMAN... Woman's Club nomination of Louise Sherrill for Clubwoman Clubwo-man of the Year was greeted with approval not only by her fellow club members, but by the community. Everyone loves Louise, and it is our pleasure to be able to thank her this way for her many years of public service. Louise would never take an office in the club; she was far too accupied with their own business. But over the years, she has brought her enthusiasm enthusi-asm and support to bear on many projects proposed by Woman's Club. One year, prospects for a float in the Melon Day parade looked dim-there was no one to build it. Finally Louise said that we just had to have a float, and she rallied a couple or three of the ladies around her and constructed a prize winner. The past four years of club work have been busy ones for Louise. She took as her personal project getting water to the cemetery and planting trees. Our cemetery is in Grand County, across the river on the gravel hills above the i ' i ; 1 - - - J Louise Sherrill river. It was barren and unattractive, with the only green spot the two trees that Louise and her family had kept growing near the graves of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Seely. This project had been tackled by other organizations before, but there were too many obstacles. By her constant con-stant effort, many trips to Moab to set up the project, and uncounted hours spent in cleaning the grounds, furnishing furnish-ing refreshments for the Cub Scouts who also helped rake the plots, and even making a quilt for the Sorority to "pay for their blisters," she has finally started trees (over fifty) out there, coaxed the City into fixing the fence, gotten the pipe laid to the river, and a tank set up on the hill to hold the water. The cemetery looks cared for and attractive, and we are all proud of it. Louise states that one of the most important things she has accomplished was having a map drawn. There are three copies, one in the City office, one at the Sexton's and one at Grand County Court House. , This took considerable research, re-search, which she gladly headed. On the anniversary of Woman's Club, Louise turned her lovely new home over to the club for their Golden Anniversary party. It was probably the only home in town that could have accommodated accom-modated the crowd that came, some of them from out of town, to help celebrate that event with us. The last few years, Louise has semi-retired and now has more time to devote to club work. She has been chairman of International Affairs the past two years, and accepted the office of 2nd Vice President for the coming two years. She is an active member of American Legion Auxiliary and has been one of the leading advocates of a senior citizens' group in Green River. She always raises a fine garden, and shares with everyone in town. Louise is a loyal friend, a fine citizen, a good neighbor and an outstanding club member. As soon as we can convince her, we want her to take an important office in the club, and lend it the same enthusiasm and leadership she has demonstrated in her chairman positions. THANKS! Mrs. Florence (Babe) How-land How-land wishes everyone to know how much she has appreciated the lovely flowers and the cards and calls she has received during her stay in the hospital. She is much improved, improv-ed, and will be home this week, and would like her friends to stop by so that she can thank them in person. SHE CAN DO When Mrs. May Wilson was coming home for a while, there was a real problem of how to care for her. Her daughter's lovely home is split-level, and it was doubtful May could negotiate the stairs. Her own ' trailerhouse was too small, it was thought, for her to get around in. Lee and Jan found the narrowest wheelchair they could get, and May is home in her trailerhouse and doing fine, being able to get around in it with the small wheelchair fine. She is getting along fine, and will be able to return for her artificial limb in the near future. SENIOR CITIZENS Senior Citizens will hold their regular monthly meeting on Saturday, the 8th at the Legion Hall at 7:00. It is pot luck, and everyone is encouraged encour-aged to attend.

NEWS DEADLINES Don't forget that Monday is news day. Most of the news goes in then, but some can go in on Tuesday, providing that a note to the Taylors goes in Monday saying that there will be an item on Tuesday that will require about so much space. The paper is printed Wednesday. Wed-nesday. If something really important needs to be included, includ-ed, it can be taken down on Wednesday morning, provided provid-ed it gets there by 9:00. Please help me make the paper more interesting to everyone. Every family should be in the paper at least a couple of times a year, as well as all the meetings that are of general interest to the public. |
