RANDOM RAMBUNGS OUT WASILLA WAY
By E. Hjellen
At a V. F. W. meeting, held on
• a Monday, we were reminded
‘that the Fourth of July will be
i coming.
Charlotte Aldeman had Caleb
’ with her to the auxiliary the
• same anight and some mothers of
■ girls were invited to see what
i a tboy baby looks like.
* * *
' The wife and daughter of
• •Chuck Burgland arrived to be on
ihis homestead with him.
* * *
A fisherman by the name of
'Eberhart was awarded the Af
ghan given by the V. F. W. Auxil
iary. If he will call at Green
Acres, he may take possession.
* * *
What occurs when an irresis
tible force meets an immovable
^object?
It goes thru it without making
-a hole in it.
* * *
Spring thawing caused a road
mishap in which Caroline Ohn
stad suffered cuts on her h»ad—
requiring stitches. Ruth Ann
Byers was bruised—but not too
'••badly.
* * *
Newly elected officers of the
P.T.A. are: Mrs. Barnes, Pres.:
.Mrs. Winklepleck, Vice Pres, and
Mrs. Dorothy Nelson, Sec. Treas.

While in Nome one winter, 1
’•was shoveling snow from the
sidewalk. An Eskimo watched me
.for a while, then commented.
‘White man crazy. Shovel snow
Summer come—snow go ’way.”
Eskimos aren’t lazy—they’re
just smart. When a whale is kil
led, it’s easier to move the vil
lage to the whale than vice ver
.sa—so they do.
With consent typhoid immun
. ization shots will be given to
i children at the Wasilla school on
. April 22, 29th and May 6th.

Nine Cub Scouts assembled at
‘.the school with their parents for
=a Pack Meeting of Troop 319.
Earl Erickson was awarded the
. Bob Cat pin. Other scout pins
«(in miniature) were given to par
< ents who act in a supervisory
•capacity. Two scenes from the
Wizard of Oz were enacted by
Dens One and Two. Did you ever
try to eat five crackers in a hurry
—then whistle? That was the
(Contest—he who whistled first
'won. Billy Combs won the prize
—a whistle. The crackers didn’t
•-slow them down, tho, in the doing
-away of cake which followed—
< coffee for the adults.
Tony Velanis—retired railroad
•employee—was a “farewell” vis
itor with us during the w'eek. He
has disposed of his properties and
.is moving stateside—he doesn’t
know where. What’ll yah bet
. he’ll be back?
* * *
He didn’t duck fast enough.
When a rim-type truck tire he
was fixing blew out, Floyd Smith
staggered from it with bruises
1 on his neck, shoulder, thighs and
head. He sheepishly admits that
he had mentally “gone fishing”
• —didn’t observe the safety rules
—and received the basic lesson
.as to why instructions are writ
ten.

kan Merchandisers.

“Life begins at forty”. Vince
Smith is just easin’ along—scuf
fin’ up dust on the road of life.

When Joe E. Brown had a look
at Fourth Ave. in Anchorage dur- .
ng the war, he cracked that it
was the longest bar he had ever j
seen. So, when May Carter, Vivi- |
qn, Colleen and Larry Teeland j
go in there and merely munch j
pop corn—that’s remarkable. Oh
— May did get a hat.

Oh for the days of Easter Par
ties again. The Henry family held
one for Judy & Linda Bergman,
Carol Ann Gershmel, Jeanette
Matthewson, Joann Jean, Susan
na and David Henry and Janey
Nunley. They played games such
as Benny Hop Relay, Shoe Re
lay, The Thing and Gossip. In
the Egg Hunt, Sue and Linda won
the prize for the golden eggs,
David found the most eggs and
Carol’s was the “booby” prize.
* * *
Chas. “Cad” Cadwallader re
turned from a three months
jaunt stateside which included
visits to Las Vegas and Reno,
Nevada. The women, dealers he
declares, are the most proficient
! “house-men” he has ever seen.
Harold’s is the most elaborate
layout—but none of them are a
nickle richer for his sightseeing.
* * *
Remember Delphine & Sam
Buzzard? Betty LePors received
an announcement of the arrival
of their Penny Lee on April 18th,
, 8 lb. 15 oz.
* * *
| I would have liked to over
heard the explanations as to how
the Easter Bunny hid the eggs—
without leaving tracks in the
snow.
* * *
Waldo Fox left this Monday for
Cantwell as a “cat” man for the
A.R.C.
* * *
Did you know the reservists
have an armory in Palmer? They
report every Wednesday night.
Frank Smith just returned from
his two week encampment at the
post and told me about it.
Drove 130 miles to see “The
Robe”. Worth every inch of it.
