j RANDOM RAMBUNGS OUT WASILLA WAY
\ By E. Hjellen
The Lloyd Short family was
down from the Independence
Mine during Christmas. They say
their weather is higher than ours.
They get it first.

M. S. “Sandy” Sands, formerly
of Palmer, is now in the Colonial
Hospital in Rochester, Minn. He
expects to be confined there for
another six or eight weeks. I
could tell you how he’s doing—
but why not drop him a line and
find out first hand.
*• * *
Only the old timers can remem
ber when we had such grand
weather for the holidays. An old
timer is a guy who can remember
when “Fannie” was a girl’s name.

“Ernie” Line, superintendent of
the Wasilla school, announced at
“the annual Christmas party that
this would be the last one until a
larger gathering place was built
here. The community hall js now
too small. I agree. There were
about four hundred people (dogs
included). I tried to enter as the
children were being discharged.
J^ow I know how a salmon feels
trying to go up stream.

The Wasilla seventh and eighth
graders are getting rambunctious.
They want to play Palmer in an
rs^ietetefeietc'ietcictctetetetc^tcisteiciciet
equal class. Should be quite a
game.

Mr. and Mrs. “Sharkey” Flem
ing are back on Lake Lucille after
a flying tour of the western
states, Mexico, and South Ameri
ca. The tan they’re wearing didn’t
come out of a jar.

Mr. and Mrs. Larry Davenport,
of Anchorage, were spending the
Christmas holiday with the Tee
land family. The children of both
families mixed it up socially.
* * *
The only reason you have a
change in “scribes” is that Peggy
Betts, with her family, moved
back on her homestead on Para
dise Lake. I became your corres
pondent ’cause I gave my wife
back her shoes, cut out her beer
and snoose, put her to work—and
retired.

A long-time Norwegian fisher
man once told me, “Never argue
about the Bible — never argue
with a woman. One is impolite,
the other is impossible.”

Ira Custer and Kenny Hurd
were cleaning the RR crossing by
the depot when I went into town.
Their observation and comment
was to the effect that everybody

organizations in Wasilla and the
great work of the Elks in Palmer
—nobody was forgbtten.

Peggy did a wonderful job on
this column. If you want as good
coverage about your neighbors,
tell the gossip to one of the em

I’ll get it.

Saturday, the day after Christ
mas, I was having a cup of cof
fee at the Wasilla Roadhouse
when a party came in for a bite
of breakfast. They were the Wil
liamson family, accompanied by
“Jolly”, heading for Ira and Bill
Jefford’s place at Knik. Shortly
after thejr left, I met both Ira and
Bill at Teeland’s, re-stocking after
the holiday drain on their sup
plies. I chased them back home
to meet with their visitors. Did
you know Bill Jefford (a home
steader at Knik) is a long-time
resident of the Territory? I first

met Bill in Nome in ’38 and *39
when he was an aircraft and en
gine mechanic for the Mirow
Air Service. He still holds his
ticket. An A. & E. ticket is hard
come-by—I know, I was there
when he took his exams. His
brother, Jack, is chief pilot for
the Civil Aeronautics Administra
tion, stationed out of Anchorage.

Dick Wilson is having a "bout”
with the "flu”. He’s confined to
his mother’s home in Wasilla. If
you drop in on him, bring those
two stalwart brothers with you
—Haig & Haig. Medicinal pur
poses only, you understand.

Frank and Riekka Swanson
were visiting with friends in Was
illa. Jimmie and “Middie” Nelson

with their children were extend
ing greetings about town this
Saturday. Frank Swanson is chief
of operations with the railroad
stationed in Anchorage. Jimmie
Nelson is agent of the depot at
Seward.

Neal “Bud” and jTane Browne,
with their children, were down
from Cantwell for the holidays.
Bud is working on the road con
struction to McKinley Park. We
have been told that the airplane
developed the country—I don’t
agree. If we had roads, we could
drive into and develop country
that we couldn’t afford to fly
into.
