caught Valentine on the road in
from the highway but, despite
Hay’s. Harold's and Lee’s ef
forts that evening. Christmas
would not be caugtli, an(j the
Gillespies went to bed that night
worrying about him. Last night
however, Ray finally caught
him out by the brush pile, and
Annetta happily fed him bits of
ham and buttered bread and
generally spoiled him.

Last Sunday the Gillespies and
we Maxwells packed a picnic
lunch and drove down the Nash
Hoad to where the big trees are
near Arnst’s sawmill, where we
built two fires, one in a small
Yukon stove for our coffee and
one a pit fire for our weiners
and marshmallows. We spread
our luncheon doth on top of a
huge stump and ate our meal
sitting on big logs. It was warm
and sunny the day all green
and gold and white and the sky
immensely blue. Later on we
drove down to the beach. The
tide was way out and we walked
over the mud flat, wading the
many streams of water and
searching the wet sea floor for
some marvel that may have been
deposited there.
We saw several other groups
of people along the road or on
the beach, abong them the Win
cert family, Mr. and Mrs. Irwin
Metcalf, the Steeles and the M -
Mullins. Some people were fish
ing for Hooligans, which Mr.
.\rnst told us usually run it;
