PUPPETS
TTo made puppets.
They look funny.
Some are big ones,
Some vr e r e b unni e s.
Some arc little ones.
‘Some were foxes.
We hang them on the wall.
All the rabbits ears were long,
But three of thorn fell down.
Some had whiskers.

^EAGLES FLY OVER NORTH STARS
Friday, April' 5 the Copper Center Swales
came winging their way over to the C-lenn
allen Gym to meet the North Starsfor the
4ht time this year.
* At last the game began with the jump-off
between Morris Ewan (North Stars) and
Donald Johns (Eagles). The North Stars got
the ball and went down the court and
Harley McMahan made a lay-up*
The score was 4 to 0 when Donald Johns
made the first basket for the Eagles. .After
that the Eagles kept pulling ahead untill
the North Stars started getting another
streak of luck.
They played five minute quarters( which
seemed short to them after playing six to
eight minute quarters) so nobody called
any time-outs and it was a short quick ga
me.
The grand total was North Stars, 15 and
Eagles 20,

Spring in the Great Land, time-less
as a glacier and yet new as the bud of a
diamond nil loan This season f loirs over the
land faster than the casual eye can re
gister, a natch of grayish-brown grass
where yesterday there was-only an expanse
of white; a hurrying, rivulet where yest
erday there was immobility that seemed able
to hold sway forever,
r,c nks that get dirtier looking from 1
far off as the brush starts letting go. its
rotten mantle and decides to bare .its arms
to this warmer sun.
By tomnorrow the worn trails across
the 1 ak:e ice irill dcvoleoe places where
carrying a long pole is best while tra.ver-,.
sing them, and pretty soon they won*t even
exist, old and gone in a single winters
use; and that trail will never return; Text
year’s will be fresh, new, only to age its
elf and go.
The kranaells grit their rock filled
chasms and hang on to their thick* white .<•
coats the longest. But it’s inevitable;
they finally end up with only white hats,
nice spring creations complete with flying
ribbons of cloud leading away from their
tops
The Copper’s about to gather up its
arm loads of ice and carry them off to the
ocean where it gives them a sling to see
how they look out in the blue fields of the
Gulf.
Books start gathering dust, and plans
are the conversation on the homesteads,
Barrel stoves begin to stand cold all day
& the sun picks out the dust motes where it
sneaks in the open cabin doors. ■
Eyes are no longer concerned when they
drift over the dwindling pile of stovewood
stacked nearby, too busy examining the gar
den spot and eyeing t,he flats in the green
house with their tiny gree dots in a row on
the black soil.
"How’s the road o.ut. to day?” a. constant
query directed at the town goers,
"I heard the first honking last night,
high, high up and to the north a bit. They
’re starting neighbor, and, neighbor, and
we’1 better start, too, The geese know.”
Faces that dropped out of sight last
fall crop up with a grin-ful greeting on
the platpau.
It’s expect an cy here, as s1owly gro wing
promis of fulIfillment, challenges that be
come more urgent as each warm day follows
the last.
This accelerating bustle of both nature
and man-announce in a swelling voice. ITS3RI\TG
