Artistic members displayed original centerpieces at a dessert-tea in November, then turned their hands to cake baking and serving for their husbands and daughters at the annual Sweetheart Party. Thirty mothers enrolled in a Red Cross first aid course, geared to civilian defense, and both mothers and dads attended a Guild-sponsored Cana Conference in February.
