p.m. Mary Northcutt, leader,
opened the meeting with the
TOPS and KOPS Pledges.
Six members were present for
the meeting. Best loser this
week was Mary Northcutt. She
is also ahead in the Summertime
Watermelon Contest.
Mrs. Northcutt read a let-
ter from the area supervisor,
Vernie Nordstrom. She advised
that about 15 clubs are invited
to ARD in Electra in Octo-
ber. Also discussed was having
a craft booth for the area Arts
Show in September. The club
will also have a bake sale of low
fat and sugar free desserts.
Mrs. Northcutt also read a
article from the TOPS News
titled, “Taking Care of Our
Bodies.’’ The article noted that
persons take care of their cards
if they break down by fixing
them, but many do not change
the oil as they should, and
compared this to people saying
it is the same. Persons see a
doctor if they get sick but don’t
practice prevention if they don’t
feel well.
“We know some people who
care for their vehicles and their
bodies, and therefore prevent
problems. We all know we
should do these things but don t, conimjttees each presented their
reports.
The tables were decorated
with small flowers, carts of silk
flowers, Texas shaped mints,
miniature flags, notepads and
pens were placed at each plate
for each lady to take home.

one of the great scourges of our
