siciation of District 6 met in Mid-
land in the city auditorium May
9. Mrs. Harold B. Eudalie of
Grandfalls, Vice-President for Dis-
trict 6, was in charge of the
meeting.

’Let There be Light.’ Guest speak-
er, Superintendent Leland L. Mar-
tin of Crane, gave an address with
the theme title as his subject. High
points of his talk were “strength

“outlook on life.” He closed his
address by stating that wrong
associations resulted in warped
personalities in adolescents of to-
day. A gardenia corsage was given
to the woman who had partici-
pated in home demonstration club

time, which, was 23 years, and
