4-H COUNTY-WIDE PARTY DECEMBER 30
by Linda Kelsey, December 26, 1957
The County-Wide Party will be in the Community Center Monday night, December 30.
All Rossville 4-H families bring a dozen and a half cookies. Bring them whether you plan to be there or not.

4-H girls help to spread cheer
December 26, 1957 by Sharon Reser, Jr. Leader
"It is more blessed to give than to receive."
That is the spirit that prevailed at the Community Center last Monday morning, December 23, when nine 4-H girls taking advanced cooking in the local 4-H club met to mix and make candy and cookies to be used in packing Christmas boxes.
After packing and wrapping the boxes they were delivered to different homes around town. Fifteen boxes were distributed and we hope they will bring some added Christmas Cheer to the homes where they were left.
Girls participating in the project were: Sally Nadeau, Donna Lee Reser, Ruth Miller, Helen Wehner, June Wehner, Linda Kelsey, Patty Coffey, Lillian Reser, Sharon Reser, and the leaders, Mrs. Letha Reser and Mrs. Gerald Reser.
