Upon entering the patio of the comfortable trailer home of Mr a. Beryl Axe of Rt. 2, Box 537, Sandy, one is greeted by a tinkle, tinkle of sweet music.

She has never run across anyone who could translate its wording for her. A set of teamsters bells holds many fond childhood memories for Mrs. Axe. She remtnisclng- ly stated, "When we heard these bells, we knew wagons filled with wool were going through town. The little town of Shani ko in Eastern Oregon shipped more wool than any other town In the world in those days. It was written right in the back of our geography book -- and myt were we proud."

There’s a garlic crusher bell from Russia which was also used to summon the maid, and one made from black lava in, shape of a little hoop-skirted lady from Mexico.

Also, the bells dif ferent countries manufacture for export are a cheaper grade than those they make for their own use." Of the many bells in this de lightful lady’s collection, she has bought only three herself. All of the others have been given or sent to her by friends.
