The late Clara Duncan provided for St. Luke Hospital in her will, leaving $15,000 in cash and her home to that institution. The house will be sold at public auction a week from Saturday, Nov. 25. Proceeds will go to Hospital District No. 1, which owns and operates St. Luke Hospital.

A picture shows Earl Winter as he carefully lays stones to close the wall in front of the driveway between Marion High School and the old stone building, which houses the Central Office of USD 408. After the wall is completed, dirt will fill in the abandoned driveway and it will be seeded to grass—a big improvement in the appearance at the school complex.

Les Griffith and his crew of helpers will be busy Tuesday afternoon preparing the bed of coals on which to charcoal about 600 prime steaks—to be fed farmers and ranchers at the annual Marion Chamber of Commerce stag supper.

Mr. and Mrs. Don Kraus are the parents of a daughter, Kristi Leann, born Nov. 8 at St. Luke Hospital.
