LETTER RECEIVED FROM MRS. DON PAYNE
This last weck the Editor of the Valley
Settlor received a' letter from’Mrs. Don S.
Payrio at Sunnysidc, Washington, Since the
letter goes heck to lest sppncr when Don
Payne left here end'gives r. good r.ccount
of the Pr.ync family, wo nro'printing por
tions of it for our renders.
"Don errived here on August 5, eftcr his
three reek trip’down the highway by tho
three-toed jeep. He thoroughly-enjoyed the)
trip,,got lots of good pictures, but did i
qjlmit that it was n lonesome jr.unt. If somd
one could have been along, he rouM havo I
had quite r. perfect trip.
"I got here on the 6th, and can say that
still don’t feel settled. Guess it’s be
cause we'haven’t had satisfactory living
quarters. Real estate has been so expen
sive, and to rent an apartment or houso
was practically impossible. Tc did buy a !
little place, but are selling as it is un- •
satisfactory and wo managed to rent a
place and guess wo*11 hang on to that un
til we can find what we want--after the
prices go down, and they are beginning to
drop a bit already, I believe. Tie want to
get two or three acres out in the country '
a mile or so with a fow fruit trees and
where we can have a garden and mebbe a few'
chickens and a dorg for our sonl
"He hit Sunnysidc just in tine to enjoy
tho lucious tree-ripened Halo Haven and
Sibcrta peaches, Elberta pears, and scon j
tho Delicious apples, Ind this is a won- |
derful coun'try for the concord grapes. It
was wonderful to bo able to pick from tho ,
yard all the tomatoes and cucumbers wo
could eat (didn’t foalizo' until then what j
our capacity was!), and.with cantaloups
two and three‘cents a pound, plus all tho j
lovely squash, as well as all tho vegeta- |
bios raised in Palmer, we fared very \7ellJ ]
Sunnjrsidc boosts a lovely ner, fireproof
Hospital like Palmer should have. Opened
up just a month before Don arrived and
rcro they ever glad to sco him-gavc his
first anesthetic as fast as he could get
dora to surgery after sticking his head in j
the front door. And he’s been busy over
sinco. There is another anesthetist as
well'and Don kcops busy rith lab, x-ray
rork,transfusions, anesthetics, fct'e. -j
The baby crop here is the biggest in the
Valley, Every rock re'have from trolvo
to fifteen babies bom. And rc all wonder;
rhat they ever did before they got the

We have managed to sco any number of
Alaskans sinco coming out. In L.A, I saw ,
