SOCIAL ACTIVITIES PICK UP
House warmings are now so num
erous that ono is at a loss where
to go or Saturday evening^, there
are so many choices.
Parties are a sensible break in
the routine of getting settled in
a new home, and they are a welcome
outlet for energies that hard work
fails to satisfy. One must have
recreation of some sort, and a good
old get-together answers the prob
lem in the most economical manner.
Mr. and Mrs. Hi liner Olson cele
brated their seventh wedding anni
versary in their new home on Tract
200 Saturday evening. There were
twenty-two guests and they all en
joyed plenty of music, plenty of
dancing, and plenty of lunch.
And Mrs. Liner Iluseby had a
birthday. 1'e haven't been able to
ascertain whether it was her twen
tieth or her twenty-first. She was
very quiet about it, b ut a f ew
friends knew and they dropped in
for a little .imprompii party.
And don't forget...another Am

Ross Sheely asks that those who
have no well as yet please choose
the site carefully, then dig out
about 4 by 6 feet to a depth of -6
or eight feet. This will give the
drillers room to set up their first
string of tools.
For safety, it will he well to
cover the hole with poles or heavy
brush.

a good idea to check it and see tha
