June 2) Miss Mamie McDonald is now residing in Shreveport with a sister. She has employment in that city. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Lee and family from Haughton, and Misses Elmer and Laura Belle Coker and Mr. B.C. Coker were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. E.H. Wilson Sunday. Mr. Alvin Rhodes has just returned from a business trip to Kilgore, Texas. Mr. and Mrs. Lyjie Bundy and children visited the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Bundy Saturday night and Sunday. The many friends of Mrs. Sid Brooks will be pleased to learn that she has returned home, after a week's stay in Alden Bridge, where she underwent medical treatment. The B.Y.P.U. members and quite a number of their friends enjoyed a wiener roast Saturday night. At 10 o'clock a delicious supper consisting of cakes, sandwiches, wieners, lemonade and tea was served. Everyone very much enjoyed the affair. Messrs. E.H. Wilson, T. Doty, Luther Parkerson, and W.S. Holt and Misses Lucille Bundy, Lula Wilson, and Mamie McDonald were business visitors in Bossier City last Saturday. Haughton Happenings Miss Elizabeth, the beautiful and talented little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Ward, recently underwent an appendicitis operation at the Tri-State Hospital in Shreveport. Haughton had a very distinguished guest one day this past week when Captain Lamb, with other government officials, drove by to "look over the lay of the land" of the airport; which,for the benefit of the Banner's readers who are not informed, takes in practically all of the land south of the V.S. & P., from Haughton to Shreveport. With the closing of school, fishing seems to have taken the day. Members of the Isaac Walton fraternity seem to be proving by the quality and quantity of their catches that Bossier Parish is indeed "a haven of sport". Strings of trout that have been caught out of Bodcau and Norton Bayou recently have been said to have been the equal of any ever seen anywhere. The comings and goings of the teaching fraternity have been happy of late - we mean that the out-of-town teachers of the local school have returned to their respective homes and local residents, who teach elsewhere, have returned home for the vacation period. Mr. and Mrs. Eddington, and their beautiful and accomplished daughter, miss Mary Lou (not the little girl of yesterday), have returned from Arkansas to spend the summer. This lovely family endeared themselves to the people of this community during the time the Haughton school building was under construction, and are being cordially received upon their return. Mr. John Nelson, of Ruston, who has spent considerable time here recuperating where she could be near her physician in Shreveport, has now recovered and returned to her home.
