,C.S. NEVvS ITEMS
.Mr. and Mrs. David-Lewis were involved
in a one car accident November 12,* at.Mile
82-jjr, where a delay in route to visit Mrs „■
Lewis T family of Valdez followed. The
driver of the car was Mr'. Lewis, who lost
control of.his automobile while approching
a bend in the road,, which was covered by
ice. The car went 'over an eighteen foot
embankment, turning completely over twice
and then landing upside • down 'in the snow.
The couple emerged from--the •accident with
only minor cuts and bruises. Shortly
afterwards without the help of 11 passer
bys”, they walked 2 miles to the nearest
homestead, to report back to the A.G.S.
station. Help from the A.G.S. Glennallen
station was immediately dispersed, and
•£he couple were returned to Glennallen.
They were examined by DrSchneider and
left his office in fairly ’good condition.
The automobile is still net completely
repaired, but the couple doesn’t seem
to mind too much for they are in a good
walking mood today, as they feel it is
a miracle to be able"to' at least-walk.
A going away party was' held for
Sp.5 A. T. Haynes last Friday/who left
for Ft. Lewis, Washington for his dis
charge. The B.Q, .boys arranged a very
special dinner of fried chicken, baked
beans, ham, and potato chips. Mrs.
McGill, Mrs. Philips, and Mrs. Lewis
donated the potato salad for the dinner
and everyone said it was a treat to re
member. Sp.5 A. T, Haynes has been
stationed here approximately two years
as an outdoor lineman.
A carrying case was presented to Mr.
Haynes after the dinner and farewells
were also said by retired Master Sgt. /
Solboskey, who came down oCrcm Tok, to
see one of his former men go. Haynes
plans are to be home by Christmas.,with
his family and we hope he makes it with
all of our good wishes and prayers.
The wives of the A.C.S. members met
last Wednesday at the home of Mrs. W.
Munson to plan and make special arrange
ments for the donation to the Children1 s
Home of Valdez, this Ghristmas. Donation
boxes we re made and arranged in colorful,,
eye catching colors and were distributed 1
to different locations in Glennnllen and .
Copper Center. Since the uHome of Valdez*’
needs food most of all to feed their i
twenty-two children, the donations col
lected will go for such. /Use Mrs. Munson
donated some 12 different games and puzzles
to the Glennallen Girl Scouts who are
also planning to donate gifts for the Home^
managed by Mir. and Mrs. Schmidt, of
Valdez.
Since Christmas is in the hearts
of the young, we hope very much to make
this Christmas a little better/and a
happier one for those who arc less for
tunate than ourselves.
