Or at least that's the impression Hutchinson BPW's got when they did that very thing last Sunday The trip was the first of those HTCGNFT Treasure Chest Good Neighbor Friendship Mrs.

Alice Lockhart, Hutchinson finance chairman as well as slate BPW secretary, thought up to enrich the local treasury The carloads of started out in early morning and motored over to meet at North High. That's the school with the auditorium in which Civic Concert series plays, and in case you haven't been around to see is simply lousy with pioneer Kansas decorative motives. Indians, buffalos and oxen drawing plows are a start. Principal J. G.

Dotzour also brags that his is probably the only high school in Kansas, or niaybe anywhere, at which the students can sit on the steps and see the regattas on the water. AS North High Hutchinson trippers parked their cars and took a bus, chaptered for them by the Wichita club, with a handsome Harold thrown in. Harold was the driver and the first stop was at palatial First Presbyterian church. There, after attending services. Mildred Asher Tinder (Mrs.

Ray) conducted the parly through the three-story plant which cost better than $200,000 and was erected as a memorial to the late Mrs. Emma Blair Case by her lumber-magnate husband, the late Howard Casr. Mr. Case paid half the expenses and it's something that the congregation didn't owe a dime when it moved in. Arriving there, almost the first person the Hutchinson group spotted was Elma Jennings Klepper (Mrs.

James escorting her two daughters from Sunday school Mrs. Tinder, like Mrs. Klepper, a former Hutchinsonian, is now Wichita's official city hostess. Luncheon in an air-cooled (ea room was followed by a visit to the Wichita Art Museum for the visitors. There Mrs.

Maude Schollenberger brought greetings and incidentally outlined the ambitions of Wichita Art association of which still another former Hutchinson resident, Leo Courtney, is a leading member Courtney, who spoke last season at Hutchinson Civic Center, has just opened, by the way. a new gift shop of his own in a downtown Wichita jewelry store. He handles not only his own block prints and etchings but those of other well-known Kansas artists, and to top off the pic lures he frames ihem in hand-carved wood of his own carving Through the parks, the better homes' section, the grounds of Vet erans' hospital, past the grotto in the church grounds of St. Joseph's and the fountain at East high school led the Hutchinson women to a leading ice cream factory where Martha Lee of the Wichita club served sundaes Elgie Koontz and Mrs. Hugh Gill, chairman of Wichita BPW public affairs committee, also assisted as hostesses.

At luncheon Bertha Gardner told of her recent trip to Old Mexico. QRAPE JUICE punch served in a cutglass bowl made in 1858 topped off the lavender, green and white color scheme for the 80th birthday party of Mrs. Oreelia Merrill, McAllen, Texas. Mrs. Merrill is another onetime Hutchinson resident and as such taught for years in Sunday school at the Evangelical church.

She is an aunt of Edward Crocker and a sister-in-law of Mis. Anna Merrill, present Hutchinson residents. She lives now with her daughter, Mrs. S. E.

Pratz, at whose home the birthday was celebrated on July 28. Practically all McAllen, judging by the newspapei report, turned out for the parly, by the way. Q1RL SCOUTING at Pin Oak, camp on the Lake of the Ozarks, is something for Ernestine Shears to write home about. She wrote, in fact, last week, but the story is all the it on Christmas or the the Fourth of July! It's a story of woodsy trips and constellations, camp fires crackling and birds on wing. In other words, it's life in the great out-of-doors and it you think the Hutchinson Girl Scout taking part doesn't appreciate it, guess again As one of a select group of six, she writes, Ernestine started out at 6:30 one morning by canoe.

Canoes headed soulh, the girls paddled 40 milei to the lower end of the lake. At night they camped out on the lake shore, sleeping in hammocks strung up fiom tree to tree. Their food they carried with them in light packs. It was a great day for the gypsies! Other times, or rather as a matter of course, Ernestine and the girls of her unit get up at a in the morning to study birds. At night they study siars and by day weave baskets, tool leather and create any number of other artistries In crafts.

Newlyweds To California as the compensation goes it's a toss up Lai summer, as you may recall, when Bob went with the Boy Scouts to the Washington roundup he got the mumps and missed the post-convention trip to New York. Father Will, who had carefully gone over the sights to see as he had seen as a boy, was almost as disappointed as Son Bob.

He proposed, therefore, that this year he and Bob would do New York together but when, the first of the summer, he suggested it, Bob wanted to finish out his job in the harvest fields; wasn't too interested in New York anyway. This set Mr. Johnson to thinking, and when he thought of the letter in wrestling Bob won last winter high he decided on the model with the seat. Whether It was to make up for New York or pay off in wrestling, Bub simply couldn't believe that he wasn't still to be driving the old strip-down when he started out from here for Chcpila park to join the family, ten days ago. And since the new car had been kepi a dead secret nor could Sister pillie Jean, Cousins Josephine, Bernariine and Mary of, the Steve it was Bob when he came driving in.
