from a local farmer who supplies. .. Juanita’ says. she helps the q

needs volunteers to help her. If

you can help, call her at 635- 5731 and let it ring low. If you want to help the cause anonymously, you can make a donation at the Reyal Bank to the Golden Ruie Society. No account number is necessary — all the clerks know about tt.
