RANDOM RAiBLINGS OUT WASILLA WAY
By E. Hjellen
“I was rough”—that was the
'comment of Commissioner May
Carter after trying five cases in
volving moose hunting violations.
• Three of the cases were for shoot
ing too close to the road; one
case was for shooting across the
railroad tracks; and the most des
picable was for shooting a cow
• and a calf moose from the hi-way
—then abandoning. That, to me,
is wanton destruction. Fines to
taled $1,175.00; a total of 120 sus
pended days was imposed. Some
guns were confiscated by the ap
prehending game agents.
Maynard '“Sandy" Sands uses
the address of Box 23, Worthing
ton, Minn, He writes that he'll be
on crutches 'til spring—that he'll
be re-entering the hospital about
Christmas for additional surgery
—and he’d like to be up this way
again—and might even come.
At a "Meet the Teachers” gath
ering of the P.T A. last Friday,
the largest turnout (42) of parents
for some time elected officers to
•carry the organization thru the
current school year.
Mrs. Opal Whaley was elected
resident; Mrs. Geneva McDon
-ald, Vice President. Mrs. Dorothy
Nelson was retained as a “hold
-over” Secretary Treasurer.
Volunteers for the inter-school
activities were; Mesdames Maley,
Barns and Short. The men were
Carter, Hjellen and Nunley. Vol
unteers for intra-school activities
were; the Mesdames Coghlan,
Carter, Nunley, Teeland, John
son and Senske.
Coffee "and” was served dur
ing the period that parents talked
with teachers about their chil
dren.
The local GOPers held a lea
jus! before election at the com
munity hall with Dorothy Prior,
Jim. Hawkins, Sally Gorsuch and
Paul Nelson as visitors.
There was a coffee and cake
party last week at the apartment
•■of Mrs. Bronwen Jones. Those at
the party were the Mesdames
Charlotte DeHart, Joseph Dixon,
Laura Mommson, Oscar Johnson
and Edith Hamrick (of Anchor
age). Mrs. Jones’ ceramics and
; paintings were greatly enjoyed.
I gave up trying to count the
number of guests at Freida Hul
ke's birthday party—there were
too many. Freida was seven years
old on Sept. 28th., but held her
party on Oct. 2nd.
Janie Nunley had her eighth
birthday party, too—on the 4th.
Did you see "Mama” Snider
•driving Short’s tractor thru town?
I’ve seen that happy smile on a
..youngster with his first “kiddy
•ear”.
Gerald Sorenson has signed up
with the reserves.
.Was talking to Henry Katkus
—from out Pittman way. He has I
his homestead there, which en
compasses half of Willow Lake
Wher. not working on his housing
for his family—he’s working on
• the RR section. Makes it nice
for them that the Big Lake school
bus goes right by their road.
'“Heinie" Snider returned home
last week after a political flying
jaur.t down the chain with Bob
Reeve's airline. One of his calls
was into Homer where he visit
ed with Gene and Els King. They
wanted their '“best wishes" ex
tended to we, here, in the '“Ban
ana Belt."
Todd Purcell, Scout Supervi
sor from Anchorage, held an im
promtu meeting with Ray Berg-,
man, Frank Sorenson, Walt Tee
land and A1 Hjellen last week.
It is tentatively planned that
Frank (Swede) will continue as
Scout Leader and Ra^ as Explor
er Scout Adviser. Some local men
were suggested for assistants, but
as yet, this is still in the formu
lative stage.
October 23rd and 24th, scouts
that wish to attend may, for a fee
of $2.50, take in the Explorer En
campment at Elmendorf—Leaders,
too.
November 4th and 5th is the
Explorer Wilderness (Survival)
Encampment at Anchorage. Cost

With neuritis in her neck deal
ing her a bad time, Mae, of Hal
lea Lodge went into Anchorage
to have a chiropractor bounce her
head around. "Tuffy" has a coup

black bear rugs hanging on the
walls. If things line up right, dog
races will be run again in either
January or February.
