homestead. Bill has been here for quite a
while but Mother Hennsley and Jim and his
family arrived a few weeks ago. They receiv
ed a great big welcome by a-big old Grizzly
bear who came right up in their front yard.
I don't know who was more scared, the bear
or the Hennsleys, but the bear disappeared
and hasn't been seen since Curtis Phillips
also, ran into a. bear back on John Abcher's
land while he was helping with the fire.
They both turned and ran in opposite direc
tions. Seems to be a lot of bears this
year but I have yet to see my first.
GLENN TOPICS - FLORENCE CLAYTON
Glennallen Teenagers sponsored a dance
with a record player; pop and candy were the
refreshments. This is something that we re
gret very much to say. We would like to
tread the straight and narrow path, go out
of this.:.'world -with our heads hanging high,
hut since we are not old enough to take full
responsibility of things, we need the co-op
eration of adults and are very much disillu
sioned at the respnse of our first party.
School is out and most of us are too young
and inexperienced for work. We thank the
few. that were willing to help and especially
the American Legion for the use of their
hall. Glennallen Teenagers.
Glenn Topics are scattered throughout
the paper because the ads are usually put
in first with the typing done around them.
If the ads are all put on one page, it is
felt that they would not be noticed as much
as when they are placed on each page. The
Copper River Current’s first year is coming
to a close and we want to thank(Pg.6 Please) *
