Thorne’s Corner Grange Hall is nearing completion. The date for the dedication is not yet set, but it will be soon. Possibly the dedication will come some time next month. The inside finish is now being put in, and the new steel ceiling is already in place. The furnace has been in for some time. When this is completed, another fine hall will be added to the already long list of Grange halls in Lewiston and Auburn.

The youth activities committee of the Lewiston Lodge of Elks was host to 350 persons last night at its father and son program. The youngsters and their dads enjoyed a supper and movies and generally whooped and hollered. Prize winners were given either hockey sticks, pucks or skates. The girls will have a chance soon to share in their brothers’ good fortune as the committee plans a father and daughter night in the near future.

Edward A. Greenwood has been appointed director of art services at Geiger Bros., Lewiston.

Peter Geiger, marketing vice president, said the new position was created due to the increased involvement of the art department in line development, retail sales through the Sun Graphix division and new acquisitions the company has made.

Greenwood will be responsible for all art services and production. He joined the company in 1972, became assistant manager of the art department and was named line development manager in 1982.
