the to state titleholders include: scho- lastic record, service

Program founder Warren Alexan- der stated, "This program truly
re- flects the female youth of the 21st
Auction 2000 - a success!! On Oct. 28, the Eagle Lake Study
Club held its 21st Annual Auction. The auction held to raise
support
for the Eula & David Wintermann Library was a great success;
SI6,000 will be given to the library.
The evening opened with the Eagle Lake Volunteer Fire Depar-
tment's Stew Supper. A very tasty meal was served to a good
crowd.
Much excitement followed with bidding on 80 items in the Silent
Auction. A wide variety was offered and auctioned, from hand-made
items to dinners at local eateries.
Another big attraction was the bake sale which featured
home-baked items from Club members. Items ranged from bread,
cookies and cakes to pies. Enough to satisfy any sweet
tooth. At seven o'clock, the Main Auc-
tion began with Joe Herbert and Candy McCreary chairing the
sale. They were assisted by Robby Cook, Jim Wiese, Lonnie
Sommcrlatte and Steve Taylor as spotters.
A very enthusiastic crowd kept the bidding active for two hours
with many pleased buyers in the end.
The four door prizes were donated by Canaris Nursery. Beautiful
Fall Mums Pots were awarded to Thurston Webb, Marshall Holloway,
Virginia Waldrop and Lonnie Sommcrlatte.
The evening ended with the draw- ing for the doll house and the
Amish dolls and carriage.
The dolls and carriage were awarded to Barbara Pidgeon. The
doll
house was awarded to Mel vin Stancik. The Study Club wishes to
say a big
thank you to the community for all the support through this
auction.
The library is very busy now with all the computer installation
and will continue to need all our support.
A complete list of donors and buyers will be published soon.
Again, thank you to everyone who took part in or helped with the
Auc- tion. We really do appreciate your time, energy and
contributions.

SENIORS NEGLECT DENTAL CARE Teeth get old too, but often,
the
older they are the less they're cared for. Although older
Americans need dental care as much as they did when they were
young, a recent study found that the elderly are the least frequent
users of dental sen/ices.
The damaging influences of aging include normal wear-and-tear
leading to gum recession, increasing brittle- ness of enamel
prompting cracks, frac- tures and darkening of teeth, advanced gum
disease and increased incidence of oral cancer.
The study recognized that transpor- tation problems in getting
to the dentist
and income limitations may also be fac- tors. However, it
concluded that elderly patients' ATTITUDE are most respon- sible
for their not seeing the dentist. They see no need to go except for
relief of pain.
Many seniors believe that losing teeth with age is as normal as
getting gray hair. Not true, Old Timers. Your teeth should last as
long as you do with proper care.
Presented as a public service to promote better dental health.
