O.E.S. WORTHY MATRON
HONORED AT PARTY
Mrs. Barbara Bedford, Worthy
Matron Eastern Star, and her
lather, Lawrence M. Kirch, who
is also an officer of the Seward
Chapter, were h o n o r e d last
week by a surprise birthday
dinner party at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Phil Harding.
The party was given by offi
cers of the Chapter as a surprise
for both Mrs. Bedford and Mr.
k
Kirch, as their birthdays are
the same day. The two thought
they had been invited to a small
card party, and their respective
families had a hard time to pre
vent them from spoiling the
dinner party by eating at home.
By the use of various subter
fuges, however, the pair were
finally delivered at the Hard
ings' door ready to do full jus
tice to llie dinner prepared and
the 31 friends waiting to re
ceive them.
