A telephone conversation with Mrs. Velma Williams, a patient at Glen Lake, thrilled my soul this week. She reports her condition is fine.

Mrs. Lucille Scaife, 634 7th Ave. N., lost her only son Friday. Mrs. Claudia Williams lost her brother. Mrs. Williams is a former member of Zion now living in Canada since her marriage. Mrs. Ethel Prim is now released from Northwestern Hospital and residing at 1117 Dupont N.

The request program sponsored by the Senior Choir was enjoyed by a good attendance Sunday evening.
