Marcel and Irma Benda came Thursday to wish me happy birthday. I was born at midnight March 9, 1915. Dr. Saylor signed the birth certificate March 10 so my parents made that my official birth date. I received telephone calls Friday evening from my cousin Ed Bezdek of Millbrae, Calif., and my sister, Estella and Max Kohler of Silver Springs, Md., all wishing me a happy birthday. I received many beautiful and humorous cards.
Junior and Jeanetta Hanschu went to the FFA supper and slave auction Thursday night at Centre High School.
