CHAPTER V 1954-55; 1955-56; 1956-57; 1957-58; 1958-59
The Eightieth Annual Meeting, September 3, 1955, was held in the Criminal Court Building basement assembly room. Registration chairman, Mrs. Joseph E. Brown; dinner com- mittee chairman, Mrs. Fred Kuehl.
At 1:30 P.M. President Alice Mundell Demmon intro- duced Rev. Michael Maietta, Independence Hill Presbyterian Church, who gave the invocation. Pledge of allegiance and audience singing "America," then instrumental duets on ac- cordian and guitar were skillfully rendered by two students from the Foster Music School, Crown Point.
Annual reports of the officers were given.
Treasurer Paul Knight reported a balance of $1,584.89, which included the museum special fund of $1,239.94.
Historian Ethel Vinnedge read an original poem which covered the progress of every phase of life, pioneer, business and industry, the past year. It was clever and impressive.
Custodian Mrs. Chester (Margaret Woods) Clark sub- mitted the listing of the belongings of the Ball family which had been left by the late Frank L. Knight, executor. It was learned that a year or so ago, Mr. Hamilton, Gary Public Library, had appropriated valuable items from this collection and placed them in the archives of the city building where he was head librarian. The committee is authorized to check on this matter.
The program chairman introduced Hubert Hawkins, sec- retary of the Indiana State Historical Society, who talked on "Northwest Indiana and the Indiana Historical Heritage." Of special interest were the excerpts from articles that Solon Robinson had written for agriculture magazines over a hun- dred years ago. It was a pep talk on the advantages and value of museums.
Fred Homfeld, museum chairman, told about contacts be- ing made with the county governmental units. Ben Roberts, commissioner representing south county, then explained the present stand of the county commissioners. He assured us of cooperation.
The reminiscence by Sam B. Woods, in his 100th year of life, was a glorious climax. His closing remark was, "My ad- monition is for more honesty and morality among our fast-
102
FIVE YEAR PERIOD-1954-1959
living present-day generation." He is the loyal citizen and the "grand old man" of our county as well as of our society.
Mrs. Demmon named a committee of three to start the research for the next history. It has been twenty years since the centennial edition. To represent the south part will be Ethel Vinnedge, Creston; the central part, Mrs. Joseph E. Brown, Crown Point; the north part, Mrs. Roy W. Hack, Ross Township.
