GAKONA
BLACK BEAR KILLED
Last Saturday night, a curious "black hear
cub was innocently looking around Harold
Falks new house. He was surprised upon
Falk’s arrival hut not for long. Soon he
was tearing through the brush with Harold,
his son, and their beagle dog on his heels.
The little "last year’s" bear tried to
climb young cottonwood trees but each
attempt found him on the ground again.
Finally, Harold shot it with his rifle.
Curiosity killed the bear instead of the
cat this time.
To celebrate the 4th of July, the Gakdna
residents had a big hear and rahbit bar
becue « There were about 20 at the picnic.
After everyone had eaten all they .could
hold, they played soft ball until late in
the afternoon. To make the day all the
more enjoyable, the weather was very hot
and there was a v/arm breeze to keep the
bugs away?
GADABOUTS
Gakona folks really got around last week.
Roy German, Harold, Stacy, and Sandy Falk,
Henra Sundt, and Earl Barnard all traveled
to the big city of Anchorage. All very
happy to be home again too,
No. coward soul is mine* i
No trembler in the world1s storm-'
troubled sphere:
I see Heaven1 s glories shine
And faith shines eqjual* arming me from •
fear.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SANDY
Sandy Falk, who celebrated her 9th birthu
day Saturday, didnot arrive heme from.
Anchorage in time for her birthday cele
bration Saturday afternoon. Everyone
wished her happiness of the day when she
finally did arrive later that night. Very
exciting trip for Sandy and Stacy. Lots
of TV and also a set of swim fins for our
boy Stacy.
Four men with the State Department of
Natural Resources have been beautifying
our public roadside parks with new tables,
more fireplaces, and newly painted green
trash cansi Let's hope the guests will
use these facilities with care.
Haven't heard of anyone catching any fish,
except in fish wheels, around hepe lately.
Fish too weld fed to bite?!!!
As reported last issue, the Gakona gardens,
not fardens, are doing nicely. The weeds
are very healthy looking and we are looking
forward to a bumper crop. The hugs are so
fierce we have to tie down our little Ann,
who cooks at the lodge, when she picks . ■
lettuce and radishes for dinner.
Ken and Althea Hughes were hack in our
midst for the week-end. They have three
weeks of summer school left at the U. of
A. before returning to teach their fourth
year at the newly improved Gakona school.
One doesn’t dare inhale too suddenly these
days for fear of getting all choked up with
"skeeters"
