We wonder how the special city
election would have gone if it
had been held a week later.... A
few more days of drinking the
muddy water we’ve been getting
might have weighed people down
so much they might have been un
able to go to the polls. ... We have
been informed that the probable
cause of the trouble was a land
slide along a stream emptying
into the reservoir....
Cheri Cushing, daughter of
Martha and John Cushing, joined
her parents in Miami, Florida for
her spring vacation from Annie
Wright Seminary, Tacoma, Wash
ington.... Cheri will return to
classes on April 10....
Judy Merrill has returned from
a vacation Outside and is again on
duty at Wodlinger’s Drug Store.
... .Judy also spent some time on
the mainland while she was gone.
One sign of Spring is again with
us.... The horrible yowling of
cats... .We have been cursed witn
one in our garage and under our
house the past several days.. .But
we are working toward ending the
nuisance_The animal may find
his “nine” lives rapidly drawing
to an end unless the owner keeps
said cat at home_We like ani
mals when they are kept under
control, but we do not like hav
ing our sleep disturbed by them,
nor do we care for the bad odor
left behind and the damage done.
