SUTTON SALLIES
By Flach and Rueffer
The city of Sutton is losing one
of the original homesteaders as
Mr. and* Mrs. Ray Roberts and
family are leaving their tempor
ary home at Palmer to go “out
side” to that land of sunshine,
California. We all wish them the
best of luck and will look for
ward to their return.
Television sets are growing in
Sutton and the reception is good.
Have you ever followed one of
the many winding roads off the
Glenn Highway? We did and to
our amazement found there are
many homesteaders living along
these roads. At the end of one of
these roads we found the Charley
Wright homestead and found he
had actually hewed this road out
by hand when he first came here.
In the last three years his home
has grown with a new extension
even larger than the original.
Also he has two new large chick
en coops and is going into the
chicken business in a nice way
Charley likes Alaska and many of
his relatives have come because
of him. He is fortunate to have
living with him his mother and
father and also a sister. Another
sister has built a road leading to
adjoining land which she will
build on. Other close members of
the family are living in Anchor
age.
Over the radio came thfe favor

who is quite a cook. Last summer

appeared in the stage production.
The film showing is scheduled
for Carpenters’ Hall at 8 p.m.
