Mrs R. B. Fletcher and Mrs.
Bill K. Chalmers entertained
jointly at the Fletcher home for
the May 8 meeting of the P.E.O.
sisterhood.
The program “Let’» Call It Art”
was presented by Mrs. Paul Gor­
don and Mrs. Bill K Chalmers.
Down through the ages, man has
decorated the things he prizes,
particularly guns and swords. The
Indians chiseled designs on their
war canoes; the Vikings covered
their drinking cups with carvings
and men have always adorned
their women with beautiful jewel­
ry To illustrate her story, Mrs.
Gordon displayed pictures of
beautifully carved weapons, fi­
gurines and vases.
Mrs. Chalmers explained the
methods used in teaching young
children to express themselves
through th” medium of drawing
and painting. Some of the woik
displayed showed unusual talent
and imagination.
Mrs. Wm. Nelson will be host­
ess for the next meeting, which
will be held at the home of Mrs.
Wesley Bolmeier, on Tuesday
evening. May 2. Mrs. Glen
Hawkins will be in charge of the
program.
