They helped the war effort and got new Scout equipment at the same time. Under the direction of troop leaders, Troop 105 divided into small groups and conducted a paper drive. Paper, magazines, etc., totaling near 3,200 lbs., were gathered and sold. The group collecting the most paper received part of the money as an award toward purchasing personal Scout equipment, and the balance of the cash went into the troop treasury.

PIONEER RELIC CABIN, WITH LOIS CLAYTON some wax flowers much of the picture is low and rather fireplace, es. sic and December, 1944 NEWSETTE THE CENTERVILLE Leaving the cheery which we visited last time, we turn and notice particularly the interbed which esting old Warriner Porter made for his brother, N. T. Porter, in 1862. This was one of the better beds for those days having cords strung across for springs (instead of just boards) and a mattress of straw. The wood, native Utah Maple, is carved in a simple design and finished quite smoothly. Originally it had a ruffled canopy and what they called a skirt around the bottom. The bedspread is really a beauty. Woven in clear, pretty colors of red, blue and yellow, it is one of the best examples of the beautiful handiwork our pioneers did. Mary M. (Aunt Polly) Garn made it in Pennsylvania and brought it across four-post- er high-backe- d, but Margaret Potts Fisher, pioneer of 66, no doubt thought it a wonderful chair. It is comfortable more so than some of our modern furniture. There are several other chairs of various sizes and shapes in the room many of them donated by the gen- - larger than flowers of the dainty different colors made by Margaret Smith Browrn for her mother, Amelia Cherry Smith. These flowers (lilies and roses) were used commonly as funeral wreaths. The stately looking pictures above the United States flag are of paper-thi- n the plains in 1856. She really began at the beginning by shearing the sheep, washing, dyeing and carding the wool, and spinning the thread, right on through the whole process. Herbs furnished her dyes which remain as bright and clear as when she made them. Then she it in the striking pattern which is shown in the picture. In the cupboard standing by the bed is part of a length of lace knitted by Rebecca Cherry Porter for her trousseau. Quite a bit of this was done while jogging across the plains in 1847 when she was a young girl. At that time if a girl could just have about 50 yards of this knitted lace for her trousseau she thought that it was pretty wonderful. When Rebecca married N. T. Porter she used some of this lace on the skirt around the bed and on the canopy. The rocking chair at the right wove 50-ya- rd The author displays colorful bedspread entirely Mary M.
