Bungalow Family and Community Education Unit held its fall salad luncheon on Nov. 12 at the Foundry Methodist Church with Jeanine Laughlin and Margie Nairn as hostesses. Guests were Bill Laughlin, Joe Boley and Sue Ware.
The Laughlins, with their guest, Sue Ware, gave an illustrated program on the Gideon Bible Society.
The Gideon Bible Society is international in scope. Community chapters are called “Tents”, Laughlin said. “Others are four “tents” in  Communist China,” she remarked. A short video was shown, as well as an exhibit of bibles in several languages.
Jeanine gave every person present a small new Testament Bible from the Gideon Society and a sample packet of greeting cards with appropriate bible passages for sympathy, get well, thinking of you, and other greetings which are available from the national Gideon office.
Since Nov. 12 was being observed as a legal holiday, Mae Weaver gave a brief report on the lesser known facts about Veteran’s Day. In 1954, President Eisenhower renamed the former Armistice Day as Veteran’s Day to include veterans of World War II and the Korean War. In 1971, Congress declared that the fourth Monday in October be declared Veteran’s Day  officially, so that families could have a three-day weekend. However, the idea did not go over well in the U.S., so Kansas joined most states in 1975 asking that Nov. 11 be declared the legal holiday, no matter what day of the week it fell.
