I signing was just and said the Greater Oregon, Friday. April In Albany High School Carnival Court Democrats Organize Linn Donkey Club ALASKA OR BUST dpht forget me! This paying 13c each for medium eggs gripes me When I need 'em so. I want to thank folks for the quilt pieces some were so pretty! There's one' large piece that I'll make up into an apron. pur C.S.G. meetings are going over good; most everyone turns out for class.

But I still say our most important new business needed is a small slaughter house and cold storage plant we have a very inadequate cold locker. Everyone dresses out there own kill. Our moose season is during the warmer months here; that's when they are in the best shape for meat. But makes it hard to keep. As for timber, commercial stumpage is $1.50 a thousand.

By the way, Jerold has a nice campaign button -for Maryan's collection. It's a big one with Baftlert's name on it, arid has a gold background with the blue Alaskan flag on it. Our flag has I I Albany Places in Willamette Relays The RpI.iim ivhirh were held Saturday, April' 4, were almost cancelled Decause or rain, Despite the rain and mud, two records' were broken and one tied. Seattle "Pacific set a new mile relay mark time of 3.27, with its winning and University of ashington set a new record sprint medley relay record of 2:34.3. In the high school division, the Salem Vikings were named un official champ with an estimated 56 points, although no scores were recorded during the meet.

Bob Amble of Albany placed second in the discus. First place was an entry from Vancouver, Washington. Amble's mark was the best of the Oregon throwers with a toss of 150' 5 almost 14 feet than the Albany High School record of 136' 7" set by Gene Webb last year. The only other place that Al bany took was Second place in the distance relay with Jerry Gatlin, Charles Don Gregory, and Bob Dfynan, all running in that race. FROM PORTLAND Mr.

and Mrs. Fred Howard, son Bob and daughter Kathy were Sunday visitors at the A. Lopuson arid J. F. Howard homes and of J.

A. Howard atthe Albany General hospital. 8 (This is the 29th in a series of letters written by Mrs. Paul Wennersten of Albany since the family left June 11th for a homestead in Homer, Alaska. They started with three tracks and trailers, 6 children, 7 cows and calves.

23 chickens, 3 cats and 2 doas.) (All rights reserved by Mabel Wennersten) Hi, everyone: Little Jack flies in to Anchorage in two weeks for another eye operation. He was too long without glasses and his eye drifted inward again. He's going alone so I didnt tell him it was surgery I only told him Dr. Fritz wtfs going to see how he could get his eye straigtened and get him new glasses so he could see better in school. He will be met there by Miss Olson, as he likes her so well.

Then he'll fly back home; hope he's all right. I'm glad I have a BIG oven. I only have seven loaves this time, and have three dozen buns in now. But if I need to I can make graham muffins Friday evening and bake Saturday. Had to borrow bread pans.

Soon the kids will be home and they start sniffirig as they approach. Yesterday I Wad to laugh at Squirt. Paul after eat-ting his oatmeal for breakfast also had bacon and eggs and fried potatoes, and after he had gone to work Squin got up and spying his plate said, "Come on, kids! Let's 'example' dad's plate and see what he had for breakfast." Paul gets only mush the dayg he doesnt work. He's been i working 10 days now but gets through tonight. He lost four days because the wind blew so hard the raft wouldn't steady so they could work.

But we are thankful for this much. Our kids haven't worn coats for three weeks now, but then they never flo like to bundle up and they seem to get by okay. I wish It were possible to get better freight service. There's no parcel post here. If I sent off lor rubber boots for the kids they'd probably get here during the dry spell in August.

And it costs freight for 100 lbs. for each fraction. Say, Doctor Nix-It! If anyone gives you 200 or 300 baby chicks, Page 7 Linn Salon. 8 et 40 Meets at Merrill Home The Linn county salon No. 562, 40, met Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs.
