KEN-NT LAKE NEWS GIM HELKENN
The weather is beautiful and everyone
out here is busy with so many things. I
almost have to force myself to set down &
write the news this -week. Its just too
nice to stay inside and theres so much to
do outside. So I'm afraid this will be
short this week.
I missed the going away party for
Jimmy Williams but heard It was a big suc
cess. However Jimmy was back In a couple
days and felt real bad because he didn't
pass his physical. So no he can start his
homesteading.
The John Abchers made a couple trips
to Anchorage. John had to go in to the Air
Force Hospital for surgery on his ear.
Found out he had to stay awhile so Rosie
came back out and went in a week later to
bring John Home. John will have to go in
again later on for more surgery.
Quite a gang went down to Valdez on
the 5th to help the Roy Brittians bring
their trailer house up.. They had it ship
ped from the states. Vern Eelkenn pulled
it up with his truck and the Jud Grimms --
went along just in case. Marge is quite
happy to have her trailer back again. With
your husband working construction a. trailer:
a handy thing to have around.
The Kentona Eats had their first prac
tice session at GInny Helkenns homestead
but I got the impression the gals didn’t
think to much of the field, there were only
a few roots sticking up here and there but
it was decided we would practice at the
school after this. ¥e did have one casualty
Pat Helkcnn dislocated her little finger
and had to wear a splint for a few days.
It's getting to be the- fashion out here.
Marge Brittian just took one off, but hers
wasn’t due to base ball practice and I
won't say any more. Anyway we did have a
iol 01 iun playing soil uaii,
Tonsina had their open house on the
11th and I guess about most of Kenny Lake
and Lower Tonsina were there in full force.
Sure was a wonderful party and the food was
delicious. We had real good music too as
our boys Lave Fadness, not Jones as I was
told, and Bob Beasley played. Dave was
wearing a jacket with Jones written on the
back so everyone assumed that was his name.
I sure hope I donf t have to print anymore
retractions. Sorry Dave'.
Finally found out all the new homestea
ders names. They are as follows: W. J.
Rogers, J. W. Townsend, Lenny Hartman, J. B.
Morris, and H. P. Hamilton. Quite A Crew.
James Turnun also hopes to get a homosito
closo by. These families arc all around
20 mile. They have one cabin started but
with four to put up they will bu pretty
busy this summer. ,
% Pat Hclkonn, Margo and Doris Brittian
went into Anchorage the first of the week.
Pat came homo with a stove and refrigerator
so shos a pretty happy gal now..She also
brought back a extra one for Ginny so now
we can drink iced tea this summer. They *
i came home pretty tired but had a good trip.
They visited with the John Gertz while
there and John & Peggy arc hoping to get '
out the weekend of the 24th. They also
plan on spending the summer on their home
stead ..
The Kentona Club met at the home of
Ginny Helkenns on May 16th with Marie
Barnard as hostess. The school picnic was
planned. It is to bo held Sunday May 19th
with the whole community invited. Trees
arc to be planted on the school grounds &
soft ball played. Our next meeting will
be June 6th at Pat HelkcnrMs home.
Well back to pooling rafers. The hou
se must go up.
