the hospital was deferred for the time
being.

In the passing of this excellent
woman, the home has lost one of the
finest of mothers and the community
has lost a woman who was a friend
to everyone and always ready and
willing to extend a helpful hand to
those in need of aid. She was truly
one of God's noble women and her
place in the home, the church and the
community will be hard to fill.

resting place in the hands of Ronald
Rebal, one of the promising fresh
men players and who was off for a
fifteen yard spurt to the Glenwood
goal. The junior Rams tackled Rebal
but he had carried the ball over for
the needed score.
