North Zulch non-profit aides Ukraine

Body
Getting needed medical supplies into war-torn Ukraine might seem like an insurmountable task. Routes for delivery by sea are blocked, and there are customs requirements to consider. On top of the logistical challenges are the surmounting costs, especially with jet fuel prices soaring. Nonetheless, a homegrown nonprofit in North Zulch, Texas is undertaking the cause – the Arlene Campbell Humanitarian Foundation. Founder and president Lena Denman is a member of FUMC Madisonville in the Texas Annual Conference.

MUSEUM MUSINGS

Body
I recently found a single sheet, double-sided, from the May 25, 1961, Madisonville Meteor. The advertisements were interesting. Of the 15, one-third of them did not offer telephone numbers. The ones that did were of the “DI-8” kind. Dr. Kenneth Downard’s number was DI 8-2800. Boney-Bass Chevrolet’s was DI 8-2155. Boyd Bailey didn’t give a phone number; everyone knew him. The Madisonville Meteor offered “For Rent – Typewriters and Adding Machines, by week or month.” Charles Heath’s Small Appliance Center offered to repair small appliances, having a large stock of parts for irons, mixers toasters, percolators, electric clocks, fans, vacuum cleaners, lamps, and all small appliances. That was before it got cheaper to just purchase new ones!
