Impatient Painter
Gets Job1 Done
MOOSE PASS —< Ray Stafford
is anxious to get off to Manley
Hot Springs for a visit with his
foster daughter and family, Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Clements and
Charlie.
Ray, who has lived in this area
since the mid-1930’s, is never con
tent to sit and “hold his hands”,
keeps his home and yard spic and
span. He wanted to do some paint
ing and redecorating befone leav- ~
ing for the Springs and didn’t
have a bit of trouble with the in
terior painting but the winter
just wouldn’t let go so he could
paint the exterior of the house
changing the color from buff to
grey with coral trim.
An old-timer like Ray isn’t go
ing to let Nature defeat him so
he rigged up a two-bucket sys
tem of painting—one warms on
the back of the stove while the
other is in use and that way the
paint spreads just fine. The house
looks just lovely in its setting of
spruce and birch trees and his
lawn is beginning to show green
so that it is one of the show
places of Moose Pass.
