Remember...the pasta dinner on Feb. 12 from 5-6:30 p.m., at the United Church of Marion. Junior and Senior High Youth Group is raising money to benefit the summer workcamp in North Dakota.

Recently the Marion Masterminds team had a meet with Pal-Mac and Wayne. Marion won both matches (close ones!) and boasts a record of 5-3.

FEBRUARY 10, 1927: A course of Religious Education has been introduced in the Marion school, which will be under the direction of the five ministers of the town. There will be one hour of instruction each week for each pupil. So far 250 have registered.

The Marion Museum will be open on Feb. 14 (Monday) from 2-5 p.m. The subject of the opening is Ellis Island. Immigrants received encouragement to come to the United States from a variety of sources, not the least of which were letters from family and friends who had made the voyage. The earliest immigrants arrived on sailing ships that took from one to three months to cross the Atlantic. When steam-powered ships became common, the voyage lasted about 10 days. The shorter crossing time meant cheaper tickets, less chance of danger from bad weather, and a lower incidence of diseases caused by poor living conditions.

This one-cent postcard was sent in 1920 from someone in Canandaigua, to Gertrude and Hilda Goossen, Marion N.Y. It says on the front, "Just waiting to be Caught."
