mmWi SAMSUR6S SOT WASILLA WAY
By E. Hjellen
Legally there are just two ways
to avoid paying alimony stay sin
gle—or stay married.
In the days when it was pos
sible to lock your car-keys inside
and yourself out—I had the prac
tice of having a spare key bolt
ed behind the license plate. Mavis
Line could have used a spare key.
She went into Palmer last week
to buy a birthday gift for Pete
Polis (tell you about it later),
made her purchase—had it gift
wrapped and left for her car to
return home. No keys! After an
exhaustive search, the ignition
lock was removed, a duplicate
key made and she returned to
Wasilla and the party. When lit
tle Pete opened his gift—there
were the keys.
Now—to tell you about Pete
Polis's fourth birthday anniver
sary pai'ty. Lessee— it was on
June 28th and the gang was
there to hail him well. Yup!
You’ll recognize the names: Mike
Pa ‘ Shelia Smith, Linda Wyse,
h” and Freda Hulke, big
jer Johnny Polis, and little
.■ister Kathy. Mary and Amy
Line were late—remember? But
everybody got in on the ice
cream, cake and orange juice.
At the present, there are six
teen men working at the school
project. A listing shows: J. R.
Dixon, Supt.; Bill Mears, fore
man; Henry Hansen, Pat and Dan
Carney, Wilson Gray, Toivo Uute
la (he ran a nail in his foot and
declares the penicillen shots were
worse than the nail); Matt Niemi,
Ray Lucas, Gene Self; Lynn
Hopkins, Albert Reeder; “Red”
Hulke, Roy Morrison, Frank
Clyde and Don Norbury. There
will be more added to the pay
roll as work progresses.
Daughter Nancy (12) is with
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Mears—living
in the Browne home.
After seeing the number of
“small-fry” at the V.F.W. Fourth
of July celebration —- I’d say that
the local school — when com
pleted—will be too small.
About thirty kids are listed to
come in from the Pittman Big
Lake area for school this fall.
Just like “old home week” at
the ‘Martin Olson’s. Over the
Fourth, long time friends — Mr.
and Mrs. A. A. Brattain, with
their family were visiting. Mr.
“A” ’s mother, Nellie Brattain—
his sister and husband (Mr. and
Mrs. Ed Shunn) of Tonaslcet,
Wash, were part of the week-end
party.
Mr. and Mrs. Dixon with nep
hew Don Norbury left on the long
holiday over the Fourth—to Fair
banks where they would visit
with Don Smith family.
Give him time to get acquaint
ed with the route and Jack Cope
will have the mail routes down
to a “clock-setting” schedule.
That “Million Dollar Ipana
Tooth Smile” you see in Teeland’s
is radiated about by Gerald Sor
enson. He’s working a full trick
now.

Kids Take Advantage
of Free Ice Cream
And Pap, 4th ef July
For about five hours on the
fourth of July approximately 175
children took advantage of free
.ce cream and pop and managed
o consume over 400 bottles of
pop and 300 ice cream cones, ac
cording to Bob Lincoln, com
mander of the Wasilla Veterans
of Foreign Wars who sponsored
the annual Fourth of July cele
bration in Wasilla.
The youngsters trips to the
“treat” stands were broken up
periodically by foot races, sack
races and other contests. Prizes
to the winners were coins, which
soon found their way to the hot
dog stand, operated by the Vi'W
Auxiliary. Another popular spot
it the ball park was the fish
pond. Although the concession
paid no profit in money, the en
! joymert the youngsters had was
worth the investment. Lincoln re
ported.
A baseball game between the
older “boys” and the teen-agers
was rained out before either side
could call a victory. In spite of
the weather, everyone enjoyed a
day of fun, Lincoln said.
; order. They did have a novel way
; of rewarding the players for hit
■ ting. First base — one beer; sec
: ond base, two beers, third base,
three; and six for a home run.
You know—I don’t remember a
game going beyond the sixth in
ning.
Mr. and Mrs. Raimer (she writ
es short stories—he’s of the
F. H. A.) spent the weekend
!there.
Saw her get on the train so I
! know Jane Browne — with her
whole “Fam Damily” returned to
Cantwell.
Dr. Clarence Bailey with his
wife and four youngsters were at
Williwaw Lodge over the Fourth
weekend.
