Cecelio Tovar had a birth­
day this month. As I wasn’t
here to wish him a proper one,
I do so now. Happy Birthday,
Cec, may you have a hundred
more of ti.em. I plan to.
Mr. and Mrs. Mel Weseman,
(Mary McKenzie) are the pround
parents of a baby girl, the day
before Thanksgiving. They ar­
ranged It so Florence McKen­
zie would be on her Thanks­
giving vacation, andsohomefor
the big event. Congratulations,
and nice planning.
Gloria Gaulke, our favorite
artist and book Illustrator, is
home from New York for the
holidays. Sure nice to have her
around again.
Young Tony Radmilovich will
be in Montana, this coming
week-end, competing in the
Pacific
Northwest Skating
Championships. Best of luck
to you, Tony, and the whole
mountain Is pulling for you.
Didn’t really mean to desert
you last week, but after being
gone all week, and not getting
home till late Sunday night,
I wasn’t sure what had been
going on around. Went to Baker,
so Dave could go Elk hunting,
and I visited with his sister
and her family, Mr. and Mrs.
Francis DeRoest. No elk, but
one of the group got a cow,
the dav we came home. Should

have stayed just one more day.
Wonderful to go visiting, but
always happy to return to the
mountain.
For the first time, in all our
married years, we went out
for Thanksgiving. Our daughter
cooked her first turkey, and
so we went there for dinner.
Not to puff her up too much,
but It was, without a doubt,
one of the most delicious tur­
keys I have ever eaten, and
they have been many. In fact
the whole dinner was wonder­
ful. Grandma was there, and all
our family, and later in the
afternoon, Dave’s mother and
her husband, George Martin,
of Portland, and his sister and
her husband, Chuck Wyatt and
Linda and Chuckie came over
and visited. All In all a very
successful Thanksgiving, and
all in favor of Jan doing the
cooking next time.
Our
deepest sympathy to
Doris Alex on the loss of her
husband John. A wonderful per­
son, and he will be missed by
his many friends.
And now we can all get ready
for Christmas. I do admire
these people who have all their
shopping done, in July or Aug­
ust, and can sit back and laugh
at folks like me, who never seem
to get It done until about two
days before Christmas Is here.

a well to sprinkler irrigate

seepage area in the N.W. cor­

water and maybe a few fish.”
Smilingly, he noted, "The fish
I planted always seem to dis­
appear about the time I though
they were the size to catch.”
“Forty acres of my land
is irrigated for summer pas­
tures. This year I planted Su-
dangrass, highly fertilized and
irrigated. That gave me a lot
of grazing during August and
September,” the dairyman said.
Moore has twenty acres of

pared for seeding. “This field
is a real producer of top quali­
ty hay,” he said, “yielding some
6-7 tons per acre. Rain at the
wrong time would ruin the crop.
I overcome this hazard by early
grazing to delay hay-making
when there is less chance of
rain.”
He added " A hay­
crimper would be a good piece
of equipment to hasten hay cur­
ing time before baling.”

More than a million-and-a-
half veterans may not know that
they are eligible for the re­
opening of GI Insurance, R. J.
Novotny, manager of the Port­
land Veterans Administration
Regional Office, said today.
They are those whose disa­
bilities, although adjudged to be
service - connected, are so
slight that they do not rate
monthly
compensation pay­
ments.
The majority of these mil-
lion-and-a-half veterans have
lost complete touch with VA,
since there was no reason to
notify the agency of their where­
abouts.
The fact, however, that their
disabilities are service - con­
nected makes them eligible to
apply for National Service Life
Insurance.
