Participating were Barbara Garst, who has since taken up her job of teaching in Edinburgh, where she will remain for a year in the exchange program carried out by schools of the two countries; CpL Wayne Johnson, son of the Franklin Johnsons, who is sta- tioned with the ljth flight wing about 70 miles southeast of London; Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Bergendoff Jr. (Marlowe Thompson), the former being a graduate student on a scholarship over there, and Lt.

Wallace Lloyd. The gathering was in the apartment of Wallie Lloyd, who seems to meet up with everyone from here who gets to England. His apartment is in Grosvenor square. Wayne Johnson, who was sent to England early in July, is making the most of every leave he has by seeing as much of the country as possible. He also has made one trip to the continent.

IF FRIENDS of William H. former Moliner now residing in Sherman Oaks, think he is idling away the days, they should see a fine picture of him received at the Dispatch, wl.cn appeared in a California paper. It accompanies a feature story on his violin making, and gives an interesting history of that work, as told by Mr. Driggs. When Mr.

Driggs retired a few years ago after 55 years as a jeweler, he looked forward to more time for violin making, which had been his hobby since boyhood. In the home the Driggs built at Sherman Oaks (the California paper describes it as there is a' work shop planned primarily for this purpose. The story quotes Mr. Driggs as saying that about 300 working hours go into" each violin. The story quotes him also in an invitation to musicians to pay him social calls, play his violins those in his collection as well as the ones he himself has made "and talk about music." It's very evident that California music lovers have "'discovered" Mr.

and Mrs. Driggs. Mrs. Driggs, long an ardent worker for the Tri-City Symphony orchestra, is an officer now in the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra association. MRS.

CLIFFORD M. BEAMER of Baton Rouge, the former Marilyn Beatty of Moline, is one of these persons who does well in contests. In fact, she and her husband are enjoying one of her prizes now, -a 2-week trip to Texas and Mexico City, all expenses paid, the major prize in a slogan contest sponsored by the merchants of Baton Rouge. The trip includes two days in Mexico City, that part of the journey to be made by plane. In addition, Marilyn received other prizes, including merchandise from Baton Rouge stores, having a total value of $500.

This is the third contest victory for the former Moline girl, one of the others having been a slogan event and the other a cartoon contest, for which she received a government bond. Mr. Beamer is attending the graduate school of the University of Louisiana, majoring in physics. Both he and his wife were Siebold and Mrs. Sheridan; the bridegroom's parents.

EVERYONE WHO KNOWS Mildred Frisk knows she's a good traveler.

But this time she hit a new high of some kind. Last month as she was returning with Mrs. Leta Williams of Moline from Cambridge, where they had attended the fair, Mrs. Williams said: "Why don't you go with me to Florida tomorrow?" Mildred gasped, and then quickly came back with: "Well, just give me time to get into the bank when it opens."

I again after an enjoyable western trip, having picked up their son, Thomas Robert, at Denver, where he studied for five weeks at the University of Denver. He was awarded a debate scholarship for this study because of his skill as a member of United Township high school debate team, and it was a wonderful experience for him. The course prescribed the young people thus selected was very exacting and extremely interesting and weekends and other spare time were used for intriguing activities.

The East Moline boy enjoyed many theatrical and musical attractions, having seen such leading performers as Katharine Cornell and Gladys George. Trips to Central City were highlights, and the entire period was most worth while. Tom has been on the debate team only one year, and in the same year he took up extemporaneous speaking, placing first in the district meeting, second in the regional and fourth in state. With his parents he visited the Tetons and Glacier park, and in Minnesota the family visited Augustana faculty friends of Mrs. Glatter, who have summer homes there.

Mrs. Glatter is teaching art at "Augustana. A Silvis girl, also a member of the senior class at United Township high school, was chosen too for the 5-week course at Denver. She is Jewel Craker, and her mother, Mrs. A.

J. Craker, accompanied her to Denver and went out to get her at the close of the session. JOHN STEVENSON, son of the Leslie Stevensons, had little time to spend at home this summer, as this was the vacation between junior and senior years that he was required to devote to R.O.T.C. training. He was at Fort Lewis in the state of Washington, where 60 R.O.T.C.

students from Iowa State college trained, together with 550 from other colleges and universities. His parents went out to get him at the close of the training season, and two days after their return to Moline he went back to Ames to take up his work as an announcer for the college radio and TV station, WOL School doesn't resume until late in the month. John is a major in industrial economics, but he's doing a lot of speech work, as he did in high school, being a member of the debate team and other speech groups. He won several awards at Fort Lewis, including some top prizes for expert marksmanship. The group with whom the Moline student drove west visited the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone on the way out, following the snow plow through many areas in order to get through.

In mid-June they went to Mount Ranier, where the snow was still 15 feet deep. Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson went through Glacier park on their way to Washington, and with their son they enjoyed a boat trip to Victoria, British Columbia, from Seattle. The beautiful Columbia river highway was another highlight and they then drove down the coast to California.

In Los Angeles they attended services in the First Congregational church, where they heard the Rev. Stanley Graf, formerly of Gordon Memorial Congregational church in Moline, conduct the devotional period of the service. The church has eight ministers, and Mr. Graf heads the department for the young people. They had dinner with Mr.

Graf and later visited with him in his attractive apartment in the cityr His parents, residents of Beloit, plan to go west to spend the winter with him. In Santa Monica the Stevensons visited the Ray Nordquists, formerly of Moline. Mrs. Nordquist's son, Dean Ekstam, is in Moline now, visiting in the home of his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs.

J. Fred Peterson. He drove here with a school friend, the two of them to return shortly to resume their studies at U.C.L.A., where Dean will be a senior. His grandmother, Mrs. Freda Peterson, has been visiting in the home of her son, Fred Peterson, since May, and plans to return to California before the snow flies here.

The Stevenson, family visited the Rev. H. W. Willing, uncle of Mrs. Stevenson, in Pasadena.

He has many friends-here, having been a Methodist minister in this part of Illinois for many years before his retirement. FRIENDS OF THE A. B. WELTYS, former Moliners who live now in Evanston, were deeply interested in an article in the August issue of American Home magazine, which featured Clever concealment of television equipment in homes. There were three pictures of the Weltys handling of this recent addition to modern living, and they showed the overall beauty of the living room of the Welty apartment in one of the new co-operative buildings in Evanston.

Their television set is concealed by an interesting painting, and one picture shows the painting, while another reveals the niche in the wall behind it which holds the TV set. There is also a shot of the end of the living room used for dining, the table and chairs arranged before a large mirror. The Weltys returned recently from New Jersey, where they visited their son, Albert his wife and their two children. The family has built a home in Mountainside, a suburb of Elizabeth, the house being set into a hillside. iTl touches that are surprise finds at this Ponney price!
