The South Amherst Canning club had 

 an exhibit of some of their work at the 

 South Amherst school house recently. 

 Some of the boys remarked that it looked 

 good enough to eat, and we don't blame 

 them for thinking so. 



The boys took most of the honors in a 

 canning exhibit held at the church supper 

 in Packardville, Pelham, October 29. 

 There are three boys and two girls in 

 this club led by Miss Alice Collis, and in 

 this case, at least, the girls didn't win 

 out. 



Mrs. Ashley Randall of Granby is to 

 take the leadership of a clothing club in 

 that town. They expect to start soon 

 after the holidays are over.
