Wiles, deceased, was wounded in the Battle of Tea Ridge. A museum, marking the place, contains rel ics collected during that period. This part of the trip was indeed gratifying, as C.

World Community Day Needs Money Gifts For Aid We think of our own young people as our hope for a peace ful future world. But they are net the only ones. We must de pend as well on the young peo ple of Europe and Asia, even those who were orphaned and displaced from their homes. If they are ccld or hungry or ill from malnutrition and neglect, their minds are fertile ground for dangerous and revolutionary ideas that may destroy all hope of peace in cur time or theirs. If not for love of humanity, then for our own safety and the safety of our children, we must help them. This is a new kind cf war ot hope and love we ! women are waging. So we need your money gifts. We need . them to help buy supplies for the ';Pack-A-Tower bundles. We need them to pay the freight when we send the bundles to the collection center. After that, all money left over will be invested by Church World Service in medical sup plies for these unfortunate young people. Think of your own healthy son or daughter and then reflect of you haven't some money extra to help at least one sick, discouraged boy or girl 'in Europe. Last year the collecti H from cur community was $42.44. Of this, $14.82 went Jor y freight. That left $27.62 as our money gift toward the rehabilitation of six to twelve year olds, which was last year's project. Not very much fsr Plattsmouth, with a population of . The United Council of Church Women is sure we can do better this year. Come to World Community Day service at the Christian hurch, November 5, because you want to give. Next week we will tell you why WE NEED YOU. Father Agius to Be Home Next Week Rt. Rev.

Heard in Fine ook Review A lsrge and very attentive audience greeted Beatrice Hoel Farrell Tuesday evening at the Presbyterian church when she presented the book dramatiza ticn of "Tobias Brandywine" by Dan Wickenden. "Tobias Brandywine" is a heartwarming novel cf a family and the strang er in their midst. In one sense, Tobias Brandywine never really existed. It was just a name given to the mysterious, half-starved stranger who suddenly appeared late one wintry afternoon at the back door of Senator Windrow's mansion in the small midvvestern town of Wanhope. But the stranger stayed on, and even if they didn't know who he was or from whence he came or why fate led him to the doer, there wasn't a member of the Wind row family who did not feel his influence, whose life was not in seme way redirected, brighten ed, given new meaning by the presence of the "little man". So, in the ways that matter Tobias Brandywine really did exist and influenced all of the members of the family's troubled circle from the youngest to the eldest. It is the story of a loveable, valiant little man with a very big heart. Mrs. Farrell's portrayal of each of the characters was very vivid i and clear and gave her listeners j a warm, engaging and amazing- j ly perceptive understanding of ' the varied longings and fears, j the varied joys and hopes of ; three geneiations of the Wind- j row family. The book, depicted j the days of the 1920 s and Mrs. : Farrell was costumed to suit the i setting of the story. Her marked j obility to make - her hearers i "know" the Windrows was very j real. ' j Mrs. Farrell is no stranger to Plattsmouth audiences as she ap- j peaied in a series of book re- : views last year and was a wel- j come guest again on a return j engagement. j The next of the series cf three i book dramatizations will be on ; Nov. 9th when Mrs. Farrell will bring "Cry the Eeloved Coun- try" by Alan Paton and the third and final in the series will i be Dec. 14th, "The Haunted j Bookshop" by Christopher Mor- I ley. ! These book dramatization treats are being sponsored by i the Women's Federation of the Presbyterian church. Choice Bulbs Fall Planting Tulip, Narcissus, Hyacinths at Knorr's 5c to $1.00 Store.
