3. MRS. GARLAND HALL HONORED Twenty-five years of Post Office service, eighteen of them as Postmistress, were honored on Thursday, May 15th.

Actually, Mrs. Hall has been behind the Post Office Counter since 1947, at first helping John Forsythe, then Ken Miller, and finally, in 1957, becoming Postmistress.

Music was supplied by a local minstrel, Hector Deguire and his Golden Boys. Always in keeping with good times the group kept feet stomping and people jumping right up to the moment of the major drawing which was another highlight of the even- ing.
