RANDOM RAMBLINGS OUT WASILLA WAY
By E. Hjellen
Picking up a four-place Piper
Pacer (on wheels) in Portland,
Oregon, Leslie Green flew
aroun dthe states on a business
trip. He plans on having floats
soon to take parties out to near
by and outlying lakes.
They're here! The Wenier Har
ley family drove into town last
Saturday in their loaded Inter
national truck. Starting from
Saa Bemadino, Calif, about the
fifteenth of May—they enjoyed
a leasurly drive and visit up the
highway—plus lire and hose
connection troubles.
% "Chink” Racca, Dolan Doherty
and D6n Bujal drove over the
highway from Jennings, Louis
iana. Lotsa room in their Chry
sler Limousine.
Dale Minnis is grading spuds
at the Co-Op warehouse. Polis's
home is having a basement put
under it— and more rooms ad
ded.
The block plant of “Ev” Le
mon is now in operation. Earl
Combs is working with him.
Took my family (except my
wife—somebody has to work) on
the Tourist Tour to Honolulu.
Frank Devlin was aboard north
bound heading for work with the
R. R. on the Maintenance of Way
section at Curry. John Church
was aboard, too—heading for the
B & B No. 7 at McKinley Park.
That little job floating around
town last week was a Morris
Oxford—an English car made by
the makers of Austin. Wasilla’s
ex-Superintendent of Schools,
Frank Jones and his wife—Flor
ence—were here for a visit. Dur
ing the last winter—he was
working at General Motors as
sembly plant at South Gate (near
L. A.), California. At the pres
ent, they are staying at Tangle
Lake—where Frank is working
with the A.R.C. on the Paxson
Cantwell Road.
While Tony Vickaryous, Bill
Niemi and Erling Flo Jlre putting
in the crops, Jerry Patrick and
boys are helping Alys with
household chores. Jimmy "V" is
in Seldovia with Bill *'P".
What are the teachers doing
this summer? Ernie Line is at
the Experimental Station; Geor
ge Harbeson is with the Extra
Gang No. 3 at Matanuska; the
Woodys have returned to Texas,
Mr. and Mrs. Borden are in Sew
ard; Clara Slumberger went to
Seattle to visit with her sister—
she’ll include Enumclaw in her
itinerary; and, altho I understand
Mrs. Peter Nelson is stateside—
I didn’t learn where.
John Rudik has moved his
family into the old Zink house
—across from the school. Harbe
sons moved onto the Orlando
Byer Place on the Hayflai Road.
That’s the R. R.’s B&B 5 work
ing on Wasilla depot’s loading
dock, platform and understruc
\
ture of the freight shed.
When the father and mother
of a family obtain a divorce—
it's ALWAYS the children who
come out on the short end of it.

This!
Are you a slave to a washboard and an old fashioned
iub? Well probably not but perhaps some of the ap
pliances that you are using are almost as antiquated
or maybe you are still doing your household chores
by hand.
The new, modern electrical appliances are such won
derful time and work savers. They work for you
more efficiently and do the job in much less time.
Let electricity do more of your work for you ... it
will save you effort, time and money too.
