hand-tucked with lace insertions. It was an original and belongs in a museum.

Donald Wendorff. took us on a tour following the judging and told us how much effort each teacher had expended on offering suggestions for costumes and helping to^ decorate the separate rooms.

.when we must honor the men and women who fought in Vietnam,” she said. "This should have been done a long time ago, but I’m glad we’re doing it now. These then and women were willing, and many did, give their lives in the service of their country. ^t is good that America is finally

honoring them.”

A MAN who was an institution in this area has left us and all of us who knew him for many years

mourn his loss. Charles Young of Mechanic St., CMH, died Sept. 16. While many of you may have been aware of .this at the time, it came as a great shock to us when we learned of it recently. Mr. Young and his wife, Ida, used to sell us fresh produce from a truck which they idrove to the island weekly. They also ran the only local shoe repair service. When they ceased delivering the fresh fruit and vegetables door-to-door many of us made it a point to go their store and repair shop to get some of Mrs. Young’s homepreserved goodies. We can still smell and taste them mentally. ; Mr. Young always had a cheery word or old adage to brighten one's day. He will be missed by the many who knew and loved him.
