Rebekahs Honor Grace Currie Mt. Heart Rebekah Lodge met Thursday evening of last week with slightly better attendance, but many members were reported ill or to have illness in their homes. Among business items decided were a contribution to the foreign ex change student fund and the joint sponsorship of a page in the Memo- log with the American Legion auxil iary in the interests of the Girls State program. A report from the social committee showed a small attendance at it, al so. The next meeting is set for No vember 2, the first Tuesday in the month, at the home of Mrs. Sallee Brown at 8:00 p jn , It was empha sized that all lodge members are members of the social group also and should attend meetings because it is at these that many plans for lodge activities take shape. This allows time for making such plans without making lodge meetings too lengthy. After the meeting, refreshemnts of apple pie and ice cream were served by Mrs. Cass Bergerson, Mrs. Janet Bemardi and Mrs. Irene Min- ger who was acting for Mrs. Arlie Emmons who was out of town.
