She feels both em- barrassed and humble at the write-up ^ of her life history in the paper and .at the shower of congratutations she received over the weekend, for she realizes piost of the credit should go to the Dost of co-operative Lucan friends, who week after week either phone in news items or drop them into the box at the drug store, .To one and all she extends grateful thanks. She would like to, also take this opportunity to thank the 35 new subscribers, who during the past month •accepted the editor's most generous offer to boost the finances of the Jr. Choir and C.Q,LT.
