The Sandy (Ore.) Post Thursday. Dec. 13. 1962 (Sec. 2) 3 At Pleasant Home— Grange Chooses Year's Officers UP and DOWN the MOUNTAIN By JOE KIEFER This is a story of what happened to a friend of mine years ago. It was a routine auction of used furniture, and there was not the slightest outward portent of the breath-taking discovery soon to follow. My friend was there at the invitation of his uncle, a furni ture dealer, and had only a passing interest in the pro ceedings. Then — upon the block were placed some unclaimed boxes and old fashioned luggage which had been in storage in various parts of Los Angeles. My friend's interest was mild ly aroused by one of the boxes. Hmmm," he mused”. Just the right size for those tools which have been kicking around the garage.” For a small sum the box be- came his. At his home the clasp was broken and the con- tents examined. First came some clothing, moldy and fall- ing apart. Then there were some pieces of confederate money. A family Bible was next. published in 1828 and contain- ing records of births and deaths in old fashioned yel- lowed handwriting. At the bottom of the box was a knife. Massive and silver-handled, it rested there — its thick rust and oxidized patina serving as mute evidence of the years since it had last seen the light of day. Fascinated by its size and faintly discernible ornamenta tion, he carefully started to clean it. Engraved letters started to show. Finally with shaking hands the owner stared at his find. Bowie Knife The weapon was a beautiful presentation Bowie knife. Its overall length was 15 inches. The heavy silver grip was decorated with eagles, arrow heads. a tepee, and the lone star of Texas. Just forward of th heavy silver guard, the maker THE LAST CHALLENGE Door to Door — Man to Man Mission, Inc. We preach the Book, the Blood, the Blessed Hope This is a Protestant Mission. A film of this work will be brought to your church if you will call or write . . . Rev Glenn Henson Route 1, Box 26 Canby, Oregon Phone 266-2216 was identified as E. Barnes and Son—1836—special forged. The battle cry "Remember the Alamo” was engraved on one side of the 10 in'ch blade, commemorating the famous massacre which took place in March of the year the knife was made On the other side of the blade appeared the words of presentation "Gener al Sam Houston from Daniel Webster”. Houston could have possibly carried this knife in the battle of San Jaunto, his shinning hour of glory which won the independence of Texas. Or otherwise, the great states man may have had it made for him as a token of that victory. This historically valu able relic has been fully auth enticated by two of the na tions' topmost authorities. This irreplaceable valuable relic of Texas origin, upon the death of my friend, shall be given to the Alamo Museum for all people who are inter ested in our pioneer history to see. Wild Turkeys I am interested to see how those wild turkeys released by the game commission in central Oregon do. Fifty-one birds were released in two wilderness areas, the White river game management area to the east of Tygh Valley and on the east side of Green Ridge in the Metolius areas. It will be several years be fore it is known whether they will thrive. One of these days perhaps we can go out like the Pilgrims did and bag a bird for Thanksgiving dinner. But take a tip from me be- fore you do, buy your bird— a tame one I mean — as the wild turkey gobbler is smart and it takes a real Daniel Boone to bag one. I said to my little ; biscuit burner the other evening. i ' You know that hope chest of yours would make a fine tool box, now that I’ve ful- filled all your dreams.” I wonder why she gave me such a funny look. With Christmas coming soon, and old Santa putting the squeeze on my bank roll, I figure I’ll be out of debt in a year if I practice a strict thrift program and have a winning ticket on the Irish Sweepstakes. There is just one little thing I don’t like about Christmas, the and that’s mistletoe girls are so persistent. First Holiday Lights The first honors of lighting up our highway for Christmas go to Rita Owens, owner of Mountain Air Motel, and Ed Gadwood, owner of Gadwood’s Mount Hood Store. Now come on, let’s all do our part and make our highway beautiful. W h |NG GIFTS QQC NOTIONS®® This could be the year of big snow on the White Lady Saturday, Dec. 1. was the start of the sking season at both Multorpor and Summit. Yes — again this year I am at the Summit Ski Area. And was it good to shake the hands of all my friends, say hello to all my kids, even if mump- sey and bumpsie — the two little rascals — buried my tassel cap in a snow bank! So from now on you are going to read about my kids on the snow. I am proud, oh so very proud of the fact that God has given me the strength and patience to teach these little people the love of this great outdoor sport. I had a pleasent surprise when John Stewart of Dover, now a smoke jumper for the United States Forest Service, pounded me on the back and said "Howdy, Joe!” John has his silver wings and 14 jumps to his credit, most of them on bad fires. I want to say this to a pretty little girl we all shall miss on the mountain this year. Jean. I want to say hello! Now who shall send those "How do you do its” to the guy who wears the red tassel cap? Over radio station K. G. W. Portland I hear that the J.C. classes shall start their sec ond session at Timberline Lodge Saturday, Dec. 29. Now the 64 dollar question is this, "Why did the officials of the J.C.’s take the students to Timberline when they would sooner be at Summit?” Oh well, it’s a funny world and I always like to think that everything works out for the best. Breaking off by saying to those who don’t like snow. You can always go south to Cuba, It’s hot there in more ways than one.

CHOPPER TIP Keep a small piece of sand paper in the kitchen to use on the edge of the work counter or table when you screw your food chopper in place. This will prevent slip ping. By MRS. M. B. LANDIS ANDERSON STATION—The Lyle Thompson family escaped from a gas-filled home early one day the past week with apparently no serious after-ef fects. Blamed for the incident was a diaphram in the regulator to the gas tank which froze, al lowing excessive gas to enter the burner. The surplus then circulated through the house, the family reported. Mrs. Thompson, awakened by an alarm clock, realized something was wrong with the furnace and woke Mr. Thomp son, who turned off the gas supply. All members of the family were groggy the remainder of the day, with Janis suffering upset stomach and dizziness.
