Scope and Contents

The following is an excerpt from the newspaper clipping:

Twenty-two years ago when the late I. Myrtle Carden was the executive at the Hallie Q. Brown Community House, 553 Aurora ave., Mrs. Duke Coram of Top O' The Morn in Savage, Minnesota, and the late Mrs. S. Edward Hall combined talents and came up with the organization of the Golden Agers. This group has been a boon to active persons in the community over 65 years of age and since that time many such groups have been organized throughout the city.
Each year, Hallie's Golden Agers have a pre-Thanksgiving Dinner. This time it was held Tuesday noon of last week at the House with over one hundred attending. The Rev. Denzil A. Carty, rector, St. Phillip's Episcopal Church, gave the invocation and the guest speaker was Mrs. Pierce Atwater. Mrs. Martha Lang and Charles Bradley Sr. were cited for being the oldest members in point of membership present.
