On Friday night at the close of the play which was presented in the town hall, chairman Ken Edgar spoke words of appreciation to Mrs. Brothers for her contribution to the life of the community and presented on their behalf a mahogany desk and a gift of money. Mrs. Brothers, tak- en completely by surprise, replied _by saying it had been a pleasure to share in the life of the community during the years she had spent in Wroxeter.
