Among other reports was one

about 30 relatives and friends who
had come for the Willard funeral.
Among those absent from the

Both were missed.

Lily Sale Set
For Saturday
Hundreds of persons will be on
street corners of Oregon cities
March 18, asking for contributions
and selling little white paper flow
ers.
They are teenage volunteers
helping the Easter Seal Society
raise money to help crippled chil
dren and adults through its annual
Lily Day. The Vernonia sale will be
conducted by the Rainbow Girls
under the direction of Mrs. Louise
Hamnett, mother advisor.
When one buys a lily from one
of these volunteers, he helps han
dicapped persons in two ways:
The contribution made will pro
vide services for the crippled, and
also benefit handicapped workers
who make the lilies.
The event gives opportunity for
parents to visit classrooms of their
sons and daughters, meet teachers
and hear them explain the courses
offered.
A short program will include a
French play and a style show.
