SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM DORA COLLINS:
Now the holidays are behind us, we have to start the new year right. Making
our 1980 show a big success will be ,a good , start. Get your cases and start planning
on showing your hobby on March 1st and 2nd.
We need to advertise our show. So at the shop you will find nbtt':ges to pass
out to your friends, neighbors and people you work with. Let them know what a beautiful hobby rock collecting and displaying can be. We are serving the best food any
show can serve. We have a reputation of having a good show and good food. Go bring
in the public so that we can prove it again ••• this year.
It takes all the members to put this show together, so when the people on the
committees ask you to help, please sign up and if you are missed and not asked"please
'9 ffer your help anyw~. We cannot reach all our members personally because some
members are not at our meetings or shop and they are missing by not d'0ing things. But
now you the members who can't make the meetings or the shop can make the show and
still get into the fun we have ,doing things together. We will have mgnup sheets at
the January and February Meetings. Come ~n everyone 'lets make this a big one.
Show off the hard work we do all year. The hobby you have is the beauty you
share in the ,times that some people need more beauty in their lives.
The time you
spend on your hobby and share ideas is the time you forget things that are going on
around you that is not so beautiful.
I hope all our club members feel that when they are doing somethLng beauti~l
just for a little while all their troubles are gone and they can create a better world
around the.
Happy New Year Everyone •••••••••
Your President
Dora Collins.
COUNTRY STORE •••••••••••••••• COUNTRY STORE ••••••••••••••• , ••• COUNTRY STORE ••••••••••
I hope all is going well on your projects
for ' ~he
country store.
If you are
making something, how about bringing it to the January Meeting and share your
ideas.
Sometimes, all we need is to see something made up.
We will have a table
set up so we can display the items.

The response to the Cab of the Month has been very sorry and in some cases nil.

The judges if asked will give

From the Editors Pen:
This is the third bulletincto be edited by me and I wish to thark all the helpful members fo~ their contrib.utions for publication •••• Some has yet m be printed ••
Due to the holidays this issue is a small one. Next month we should be back
in the swing of editing and publishing the ,Pet,r ograph. There will be more pictures,
more, columns by our members, conuni ttee members and juniors.
Hopefully this typewriter will be repaired so that we can get better print out of
it, and/or we will have an additional type~iter to allow more people to type for the
Petrograph. As it stands we have only one typewriter that can be used becaus~ '\'f~ need
a carbon ribbon.
My typewriter type ,:is not usable as the type is too broad and breaks down in the
printing.
Particular appreciation is expressed for the business people who work on the staff
of the in addition 't o working every day and keeping a home. It is not easy ••••• Even
just keeping a home is work.
Billy Ashley is always there with the calendar on time,
