Smoke Rises Higher Than Chicago Sky scrapers M M Club Notes School days, school days, good old golden rule days yes sir, Mice, Monday most of you mem bers will be heading toward the little - red school house (brick now-a-days) to start another year of that very important thing called education. Yours truly (lucky guy Indeed) doesn't start till a week from . Monday but it s coming just the same. Oh well, if you're . like me, there's a bit of excitement about the whole thing. Anyway, it will certainly keep us busy. MMC Attention Mice members What a show is in store for yon today. Each year, through the cooperation of. Fenney'a, ' the Mickey Mouse club presents a "Back to School Days" program. This year it's birger and better. Thirty minutes of fun.

Professor Quizzem (that's me), will drape his classic robe around his shoulders and march into the audience (that's you), asking questions to those who know the answers. Nothing hard, just simple ques . tions that everyone will know. That's today so don't fail to be here. Various entertainers will also be here to fill in the lull, if any..- . .

This made necessary the building of a new place for the social organizations of the congregation. Instead of putting up a new building, two rooms, one 36 x 32, the other 12 x 20, are being fin ished in the basement under the church and rectory. These rooms adjoin the kitchen and have a pass window for the serving of refreshments. They are being finished in plywood and have windows overlooking the gardens. The two lots back of the church, on the corner of Second and Academy streets have been bought from Mrs. Kathleen Hosid. There has Jbeen some talk of building aparochial school but at present the plan is to landscape the property which adjoins the gardens and lawns of the rectory. The McDowell Creek church has been closed and that group of members will join the Lebanon congregation The increase in the size of the parish will take more of the local! priest's time and he will no longer serve the Jefferson church. Two priests are now going to live at Jordan and they will take care of the Jefferson and Stfo parishes. - . i 1 i A , ( ' ' j , -1 'l V J I V First October Weekend Set Gty Budget Has Study Monday; Road.
