SMITH HOUSE REPAINTED

Because of the up coming party that is to be held before the SWEETHART BALL at our home, Beth Peden has agreed to paint our home the inside of course because it is much too cold to paint the outside. We will have the hose the same color, but a lot brighter because of the stove which heats our home has made the walls all black. We are quite glad the dirty walls will be clean once again.

HELP FOR CLEAN*UP NEEDED

Talking to the mother of the home where the party is to be held we have found that her children will be gladly helping her clean up the home.

The children were very glad to help the mother of the party out. We the reporters of th SMITTY’S LOCAL REPORT would like to congradulate the children for hel ping out thier mother.
