Art Teacher Program Set
Verra L. Sauer, Corres.
EPHRAIM — The Peninsula Arts association will offer the first program of the season on Saturday evening June 15th. Sune Richards, teacher of art photography at the Milwaukee vocational school, will give her lecture, “My Search for the Disciples,” showing also her photographs of the people she found who resemble and have the physical characteristics of the disciples.
Mrs. Richards has had enthusiastic responses to her lecture where ever it has been given. Donald Hacker of the Milwaukee Optimist club writes “We thank you for your wonderful program. Your presentation was inspiring and as you know, was met with great enthusiasm.”
This program is open to everyone and those interested are invited to come to the Ephraim Moravian church on Saturday evening, June 15 at 8 o’clock to hear Mrs. Richards.
The Ephraim Woman’s club will hold the regular monthly business meeting in the village hall on Friday morning, June 7, at 10 o’clock. At the last meeting the club voted unanimously to have the chairman of the civic committee, Mrs. Leon Statham, attend the May meeting of the village board to protest the bill boards in Ephraim which do not comply with the village zoning law.
It was therefore with great appreciation for the strength of the editorial that we wish to congratulate Chan Harris for his protest against the mutilation of the beauty of our scenery, our one great asset. No one objects to small attractive, artistic signs which give directions as to how to reach our shops and the businesses that add to the appeal of our county. Why it is necessary to blot our highways with huge commercial city signs, the very thing our resorters are trying to eliminate from their lives, is a question we can well ask ourselves. Why can’t we as a county unite to have a system of signs which will add to the attractiveness of our resort area rather than to mar and detract from it?
On the afternoon of June 7, the Ephraim Woman’s club will entertain the Fish Creek Woman’s club at a tea at the home of Mrs. David Stevens on the North Coral Hill rd.
On June 8, the Ohnesorges, Mrs. Arnold, Mrs. Paul and Mrs. Walter, are serving a turkey dinner at “Greenwood” Dining Room, the proceeds of which will go to the furnace fund at the Bethany Lutheran church. Serving will be from 5 to 8 o’clock and the dinner is open to the public.
One of the happiest birthday parties I have heard of was the one Gloria Koehler Olson with her mother, Mrs. Arnold Koehler, gave for her daughter, Cindy, in honor of her 4th birthday. Sixteen children gathered in the Koehlers’ spacious yard, from the ages of 18 months to 5 years, and as one of the mothers told me this morning, there was never an argument or a dissention which needed the interference of the hostess or any of the mothers present. The outdoor swings, the toys, the pleasure of being together kept these little folks happy. Cindy also helped her Uncle Selden Olson celebrate their mutual birthday, June 1, on Saturday. Many good wishes to both of them.
Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Byfield have returned for the season from their winter in California.
