RANDOM RAMBUNGS OUT WASILLA WAY
By E. Hjellen
Among local nimrods to get
their moose this season are the
following: Holmberg, Alderman,
Henry Jensen, Pete Corcoran, A1
Hilburn, Dave Smith, Lloyd Short
and Bailey Theodore. Moose hunt
ing is something akin to fishing
if one listens to the tales of the
ones that got away and the com
parative sizes of the various ani
mals.
A birthday luncheon was held
for Jimmy Rogers on Saturday
attended by a group of his friends
who helped him enjoy his en
trance into the “teens." He is the
lad who broke both arms but is
coming along very nicely now.
The Wasilla Grange had their
regular meeting August 17th at
the quonset hut. They were very
much surprised to find that some
one had helped themselves to all
the flooring that was stored there.
We sincerely hope whoever help
ed themselves will appreciate the
flooring and make good use of it.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Winkleplec
and family are moving to Palmer
to be closer to his work. Mrs.
Winkleplec has been very active
in Brownie Scouts here and also
as a piano teacher. We will cer
tainly miss them in our commun
ity.
Friends have just received a
letter from the Jim Simpsons.
Jim was a former teacher and
coach at the Wasilla Hi-school.
They have spent a wonderfui
summer in Portland where Jim
has just received his Masters De
gree in Education. The Simpson
family will shortly return to
Ketchikan where Jim is scheduled
to teach this fall. They send
greetings to all their many
friends in the Valley.
Vernon Dryden has been mov
ed from the Valley Hospital to
the Providence Hospital in Anch
orage to have further work done
on the leg he broke several weeks ,
ago.
Lots of favorable comments are
being heard these days on the
road work that is being done on
the Wasilla-Palmer road. It will
be an even nicer trip when it is
completely finished. The Road
Commisson has filled in the pit ^
at the depot in Wasilla and put
in a culvert which is certainly ap
preciated by the folks there.
Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Welch are
the proud parents of a baby boy.

A Social was held for the young
folks in the Community Hall last
Saturday evening. It was com
bined with a birthday party for
Jimmy V. who had planned a
party for the same evening. The

brighter—they could also include
the nights.
