SUTTON SALLIES
I .-.v.-.mrauuwr._ ^
;
By Flach and Rueffer
It makes one feel good to see
the results of labor—a wood-pile
of freshly sawed wood for the
winter; potatoes in the Palmer
store marked “Callison, Sutton,
Alaska”, in neat 10-pound bags;
and in the Anchorage store ‘‘Ban
non’s eggs for the discriminating
person.
Our colorful fall has not yet
ushered in, winter. Even though
we had a slight blanket of snow,
it has given way to the sun and
there still blooms large blue and
yellow pansies beneath the pic
ture windows of the log construct
ed Jean and Philip O’Neill home.
The bachelor buttons would have
held up much longer, but accord
ing to our postmistress, Mrs.
Grace Boulter they were chemi
cally sprayed leaving them in a
bedraggled condition.
Have you noticed the numer
ous birds in the neighborhood?
Rather than eagles soaring over
the mountains, we now see crows
passing over the homestead. The
little chick-a-dee comes in large
flocks resting in the trees which
have pieces of suet nailed to them.
However, they are very polite and
only one bird eats at a time.
The magpie, mocking bird, and
the camp robber keep them com
pany. And it is very amusing to
watch them pick off bits of suet
and fly away while all the time
a low hum of chirping among
themselves lets you know they
are unaware of your observations.
Mrs. Ray Roberts, former Sut
tonite, is also a member of one
of the 13 groups of Homemakers’
Clubs which met at Eska at the
home of Mrs. Lorraine Johnson.
Seven women from Sutton were
present and it is needless to say,
"a good time was had by all”.
We are preparing for the Christ
mas rush. Mrs. Rodney Johnson
has been circulating a petition as
we feel the need for a baggage
platform. Our Sutton post office
