STAFFORD SCHOOL NOTES
Thanksgiving day was celebrated
at Stairord by an all-day gathering
with dinner served picnic fashion on
the grounds. The school children gave
a short program before dinner. The
day was a great success, enjoyed by
everyone in spite of the fact the expected
speakers failed to come.
A very hot contest came to an end
Friday night. For several weeks the
girls have been working on tf quilt
each trying to get the largest number
of names in her square. Mjtss Eleanor
Gainey won the quilt having 215
names, Miss Aleitha Johnson came a
close second with 182 names. The
quut Drougnt fou.ou, tne money goes (
to help buy a new piano for the r
school. After the contest each couple
were given needle and thread and an ^
apron cut out ready to be made. Each ,
man with his pawner's assistance j
was to make an apron. Lots of laughter
was caused by the awkward at- ^
tempts of the "stronger sex" to do a i
"woman's work." Mr. and RJrs. H. T. (
Eddins won first prize, a sewing bag,
for making the best apron. Miss Gai- 1
ney and Mr. Wayne McBride won
second prize, a needle and thread.
A play, "Aunt Dinah's Quilting
Party," will be given Friday night by 1
local talent. Admission 10 cents. '
