50 YEARS AGO (1959)

Fourteen members of the Women’s Relief Corps Social Aid motored to the home of Hazel Cate and laid plans for a sewing bee to sew carpet rags next Wednesday at the home of Bertha Sexton, 3027 Lombard Ave. Members were to take a sack lunch. Plans would be made for the bazaar in November, of which Hazel Cate was general chair.

Mr. and Mrs. Samuel B. Reid of East Stanwood were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Relatives and friends were invited to attend the reception in the Wesley Hall in Stanwood. There would be a short program. The couple requested no gifts.
