There will be a chili feed and
dance at the Willow Commun
ity hall February 17. This will
also be a little celebration for
Chris Terry and his new bride,
former Jean Block of Anchor
age. Chris is homesteading
near Willow. The public is in
vited.
Blackie and Ruby Mannion
are having a road dozed into
their homestead with the inten
tion of building soon. Bill
Jones is doing the road work.
Their place is located up river
from the Little Susitna River
bridge and one quarter of a
mile off an existing road that
is used by several families.
It was quite a week for the
Spiers of Willow. Mrs. Lola
Spiers fell in front of her home
and split her finger open and
husband Howard dropped an
iron bar on his foot and broke
bones in his toes. The end of
the week was much more
pleasant when neighbors drop
ped in to help Lola celebrate
her birthday Friday evening.

The tragic accident that oc
cured Saturday afternoon near
the Houston Cafe, taking the
life of Ricky Jones, was a great
shock to everyone. All the
friends and neighbors are
turning out in true Alaskan
style doing their best to help
the grieving parents and fam
ily in any way they can.
