MR. KUDOCK GIVES
UP PRODUCTION OF
KIWANIS MINSTREL
Joe Hudock. who produced the
first Palmer Kiwanis Club min
strel show here last year and got
this spring’s production well un
der way, announced this week
that he would be unable to carry
through on the second annual
show. Mr. Huddock explained
that he is doing some extra-cur
ricular college work and that his
studies together with his regular
work as a teacher on the Palmer
school faculty does not give him
enough time for other activities.
“I very much regret having to
give up producing the Kiwanis
show as I was most anxious to do
it,”’ Mr. Hudock said in making
the announcement.
The last of the music for the
production has arrived from New
York, Mr. Huddock added. The
chorus is going well although
more singers are needed, includ
ing four sopranos and two basses,
Mr. Hudock said in urging that
everyone in the Valley, including
men, women and teen-agers come
out for the show. The material
for the costumes has also arrived
as well as special make-up. New
lighting features are also being
worked out for the production,
which will create entirely new
effects to enhance the show.
Hugh A. Johnson, president of
the Palmer Kiwanis Club, has not
yet announced Mr. Hudock’s
successor.

FIND MOOSE WITH
j TWO LEGS BROKEN
An injured moose which had
apparently been struck by a hit
and run driver was discovered by
Ray Cather while on his school
bus run Thursday. Mr. Cather
found the moose lying in the road
with two broken legs as he was
making his way on one of the side
roads. After reporting his find to
the Fish and Wildlife Service he
was authorized to shoot the an
imal. While dressing it he found
a 30-06 120-grain bullet imbedded
in the moose. Apparently the an
imal had been hit with the bullet
during the past hunting season.
The moose meat was given by
the Fish and Wildlife Service to
the children’s home which Mr.
Cather operates, he said.

I 'Silent Auction* to
| Roise Money Here for
Grange Building Fund
A novel money-raising project
announced this week for the
Grange building fund is a “silent
auction” to be held Thursday,
March 8, at the regular meeting
of the Grange. The “silent auc
tion” will be held immediately
following the business session.
“Anything from a handkerchief
to a swrede saw, including baked
goods, canned goods, will be most
acceptable,” members of the
Grange stated in making the an
nouncement. Anything around
the house that a member might
be tired of could easily be just
what some brother or sister Gran
ger needs, it was pointed out. The
plan will not only provide a
pleasant evening but will give all
Grange members an opportunity
to help with the building fund,
the announcement stated.
A man without much principle
draws little interest — from his
friends.
Most people back from vaca
tion can’t feel any change.
