There will be no Frantom Trophy for the 1970 Shol,v. Instee.d, HigbJatld. Park will present a Trophy for Cabochons. There will be an O'Brien Trophy (for a :B'a~eted Stone); the Taylor Trophy: (for a case of Faceted. Stones); and. the In-::-ra-V1c'let Trophy (fOT Fluores­cents) .

Livona God~rin went to Lo Ao Her car broke d01i\rrl and she :h.ad to wait for parts. In ad­di tion to that bad luck, she has had colds a12d pneurclo::J.ia. Get well ~ 1,i vona, we need you.

Glenna and George Stephen's daughter, Jan, is going to Grenoble) F'rance. Glenna will go to see her off. Glenna would like to go vdth her, but; tbE;re is too :much publicity work hanging fire for the 1970 Show.

Has ever:,rone seen Bill Walsh's mustacbe'?We think it looks g<)od.. Eave you noticed that several of our Lady Members l::.avebee::1. wear:Lrg pa.nts suits to the

Meetings? They certainly are comfortable for wearing during the bad weather, Mary Price had on a very attractive pants outfit at the last Meeting 0

Frances Amundson's dog had a shot and. got sick from it, much to Viola Cutter's dismay <

She Via,s "dog-sitting" for Frances and the Ii ttle fel10w didn't, want anyone to touch him. fjpeaking of pups, Rose and Jack Peters missed tIle Show Committee Meeting on ~Tanuary 21,

beca;use their aged dog was ill and they had to take it to the Vet. Sorry they had to put it to sleep.

Dave Bickerdyke is going to make some markers for the 1970 Show. Each pillar in the grandstand will have a letter marked on it for use i.n d1recting people to different loca­t.ions .in the building. Dave also drew a map to show where the Hilton Is in relation to the Fairground so that people will have no trouble finding their way to tbe Hilton Headquarters and the Awards Banquet. That's a good fellow:

IJouise Palmer met with Martha Peters ancl made plans for the decoraUons which will be used for the Awards Banquet. If the plans work out, you will have a pleasant surprise. All we (;an tell you now is that they will carry out both the Socjety' s Y'mblera and the Show Theme (Gold tN Gems), There is a possibility that they may be for sale as :'hey just might be useful ,We f1.1 see.

If anyone is going to a Show or ty-pe Society or Club flihction, be sure to tal\:e some of our and to advertise our ShO\flo '::the have the matI.
