from this reporter We have just been talking with William biller. .lr . president of the home, who told us that the federal funds applied for by the Home for the Blind fell approximate Jy $10,000 short of the re ((nested amount Instead of choosing to cut down on the. quafily and number of employees who take care of

Some of the wives had never seen the ocean before. Meanwhile' Sara cooked up a storm. There were 17 for dinner Sat and 15 on Sunday both followed by songfests of course.

WINDOWS WERE almost rattled by the heated discussion at the regular meeting of Mayor Hand and Borough Council on Sept. 28.

DR. DAVID B.COURSIN and his wife, Betty, of Lancaster and Stone Harbor gave a smashing brurtch last weekend for classmates of the year 1940 at Haverford College. It was a neat day to sit out on the deck in the sun sipping Bloody Marys and reliving the old days. Guests included Bob and Jane McConnell of Rosemont, Pa., Chuck and Claire Peters of McLean, Va., Charles and Mary Fischer, Arlington, Vt. and your scribe and her spouse Paul Rowland. A lot of Haverfordians love this sport — among them: the Charlie Rudrauffs (who once owned the house we live in), famous raconteur Johnny Williams and wife Maggie, and Bill Webbs and John Meaddrs.
