These newspaper articles by Dr. Appel cover a wide range oflocal activities and events. There is no index and the table of contents is very long; the article titles are also long. To help

researchers to save time when looking for a specific subject, this "demi-index"sorts the articles by major subject categories and gives a short label, leaving to the individual to read enough of the article to check for usefulness. We hope this will make the collection more helpful. For history buffs, the articles are interesting and often fun, and give an insight into the activities and interests ofMomoe  County people over the years.
