RANDOM RAMBUIVGS OUT WASILLA WAY
By E. Hjellen
C. D. If you wish to be among
thise to visit the 10th Air Divi
sion Control Center—-sign up with
Pat Carter. You’ll pay your own
way-—or participate in costs of a
“pool-car”. Each person selected
will be given routine security
•clearance.
Jack Fabyan says his dog can't
fight, but boy!—can he run!
Peggy and Dave Smith have it
in mind to move back here about
March. As soon as road conditions
permit they’ll move their trail
er from the post.
Floyd Smith was hit hard
enough by a virus to confine him
to the Providence Hospital in An
chorage. Eldore and Marie Hulke
are running the garage while
Frank is visiting in Anchorage
with his father. Frank looks a
little ill himself.
Was shoveling snow from the
walk in front of the office where
I worked in Nome. An Eskimo
watched me for a bit then com
mented, —“White -..man ....crazy!
Shovel snow! Summer come—
snow go ’way”. Eskimos aren’t
lazy, they’re smart. Before the
intrusion of “civilization”— Eski
mos would—when a whale was
killed and beached—move the
village to the whale instead of
vice versa. It was easier.

Roy Morrison, Delia Kolila,
May Byers, Chuck Bergland and
Floyd Perkins were toasted al the
Wasilla Bar last week. All hav
ing birthdays in this month—a
consolidated party was held for
them.
What Rose Johnson thot was
a “going away” party for Mrs.
Dixon, last Thursday, was actual
ly a birthday surprise party on
Rose. And she was surprised—
thinking the footsteps (on the
back porch) were those of the T.
V. repairman.
Until a replacement for Miss
Matiila is found—R. N. Miss
Jeanne Shaver, of Palmer, will
call in Wasilla on Thursdays—
Sunday was the gathering day
of those who helped Judy Betts
celebrate her ninth birthday. Say
—just in passing—you’ll find her
name on the Honor Roll, too.
Worry is like a rocking chair
—it will give you something to
do— but won't get you any
where.
