“Attractive Prizes to be Feature of Catholic Bazaar”
Next Tuesday, October 25th, the Altar Society of the Roman Catholic Church will hold their annual bazaar at the I.O.O.F. Hall. The sale of candy, home handcraft and the other features of attraction will be in readiness during part of the afternoon and during the supper hour a full course dinner will be served to the public following which games will be played. The following committees are in charge:
Soliciting: Mrs. J.S. Connors and Mrs. C.B. Fairchild, south side: Mrs. Gene McCarthy and Mrs. Richard O’Hearn, north side.; candy: Mrs. F.P. Nash and Miss Marie Lasby; Needlework: Miss Margaret Gillogly and Mrs. Pauline Ferrat; Beano: Mrs. Frank. T. Hooks; Dining Room: Mrs. Frank Lenahan; Kitchen: Mrs. Frank Smazal.
A hand painted Indian study is one of the valued prizes to be awarded at the Holy Cross Altar Society’s bazaar next Tuesday. The picture “Gossip at the Cross Roads”, is of two squaws bending over a camp fire and the title is explanatory of the study. It will be of interest to those who are admirers of Dr. D.S. Buisson’s pictures, the donor, to know that this week a connoisseur from New York saw the picture and offered $50.00 for it. It was refused as it had already been given the church to be used as an attraction for its bazaar. This is only one of many attractive prizes to be given away at the bazaar next Tuesday.
