A few weeks ago we would have called you Herb and Helen, but since then you have attained a new status in life, which brings, along with a new title, many different experiences and responsibilities, As each day, month, and year, passes, we hope that you will find a happy and permanent sol- ution to each problem that confronts you at home and in the community. Many of us have had pleasant assoc- iations with both of you while you were growing up and we earnestly desire that these will continue for many years. You, Helen, will be missed in the- vicinity of Winthrop, where you have taken an active part in the various social activities, but we should be grateful if you would continue here, too. Your gen- erous enerous , disposition was an encourage- ment in each new project. Herb, your unaffected humor has been a con- stant source of amusement to all who have been in contact with you. But perhaps it would be well if you would always remember not to ac- quire any habits mentioned in this poem entitled "Wives" by Edgar Guest. A wife is one who lifts from chairs The hat and coat her husband wears, Who cleans the bathroom day by day And puts his razor blades away. She finds pyjamas on the closet door, She takes his shirts and studs and ties, ;And hides then, right beneath his eyes, That when he'shunted near and far He'll find them where they always are. A wife is one who understands The endless care a man demands, Continued on Page 4 EGMONDVILLE The Egmondville W.M.S. met in the vestry of church on July 8.
