Parental award to Mrs. Warren Rash and Mrs. Clyde Eubank "At Madison at the Christian Church, Sunday morning, Mrs. Della Rash, widow of the late Warren Rash, Granville, northwest of Paris, and Mrs. Mary G. Eubank, widow of the late Clyde Eubank, of Madison, received the annual Kate Nolen Parental Award. Presiding at the presentation was Rev. Milton Windham of Columbia. Representing the Nolen family were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Nolen and Olliver W. Nolen, and members of the Russell Johnson family, all of Paris. The award was officially presented by Miss Bonnie Johnson, daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. Russell Johnson, and a great niece of the late Mrs. Nolen. The Kate Nolen parental Award is provided each year by Attorney Olliver W. Nolen of Paris in memory of his mother. It goes to the parents of five or more children of outstanding ability and accomplishments, on the theory that the qualities of the parents are reflected in the accomplishments, character and record of the children. Judging is done by the mayors of Madison, Paris and Monroe City from record submitted to them on each couple of person nominated. Any one may nominate a couple, or as in the case of this year's award, widows or widowers.
