The Elm Springs News

It seems that most of the kind citizens took Sunday afternoon off for recreation, and therefore were not home to report what they had done the rest of the week. Many of them may have been enjoying the last day of the Central States Fair, as it was the main social attraction of the week.

The weather in Elm Springs has been unremarkable this past week.

The WTL Club met at the Lorraine Ven Huizen residence in Quinn Wednesday. Ladies in attendance were Jean, Kelli and Emily Linn, Caroline Wilsey and Wilma Moore.

Kody DeVries was a Sunday morning coffee visitor at the Clyde Arneson residence and then returned for Sunday dinner. Later, Andy Linn was a visitor at the Clyde Arneson residence and then Clyde was a visitor at the Andy Linn residence.

Charlotte Wilsey and her kids spent the weekend with John and Jean Linn. Brett Wilsey is now in Antarctica where he will be working for six months.
