Support group elects officers for 1994

James Krantz has been elected to serve as president of the Roanoke Valley Mended Hearts Chapter 144 for the 1994-95 term.

Other officers chosen were: the Rev. J. Harris Stephens, vice president; Helen Ewald, secretary, and Jim Tapley, treasurer.

Salem Museum contest still accepting entries

The deadline for the Salem Museum mascot contest has been extended to Dec. 13 because of busy schedules in the areas' schools.

Mary Crockett Hill, director of the museum, said she has received about 50 entries from children in several Salem schools.

But the contest is open to elementary school children throughout the Roanoke Valley, and Hill said several teachers told her that busy fall schedules had prevented them from promoting the contest among children in their schools.

For that reason, Hill decided to extend the deadline beyond the original Nov. 1 date.

In the contest, children are asked to draw a picture of some sort of animal, real or imaginary, that could become the museum's mascot.

The contest rules say the mascot can be "huge or tiny, furry, slimy or scaly, animal, vegetable, mineral or anything else you choose."

Entries should be sent to the museum at 801 E. Main St. in Salem.

Hill said she plans to have a display of all the entries in January.

Salem Kiwanis Club elects 1994 officers

Bill Murdoch was recently elected president of the Salem Kiwanis Club for 1994-95.

Other officers elected were Buddy Rodgers, vice president, and Bill Rich, secretary/treasurer.

Elected to the board of directors were: Paul Dotson, Frank Derk, Dave Robbins, Bill Puryear, Cecil Kelly, Ron Wright, John Cannaday and Paul Curran, past president.
