Dallas Woman Has Read
T nre
I P By WES SHERMAN
' Dallas Among the tnousanas or capital journal suDsmoers,
.; none look forward any more expectantly to the daily delivery of
the paper than Mrs. Amanda Clark of Dallas who finds reading its
j clear black print one of the most enjoyable pastimes of the day.
' The very unusual part about it la that Mrs. Clark will be 96
; years of age on October 15, and"
3 here s a mark to shoot at she
j can peruse the daily news with-
iout the aid of glasses. She has a
pair of glasses and sometimes
wears them, but more often than
not, she may be observed en
joying the paper without them.
For over 20 years Mrs. Clark
I has been living with her daugh-
ter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
j Lee Clark (the same surname by
! coincidence). During all that
; time the Capital Journal has
i been coming daily to the house
hold. Ths nonagenarian has been in
the Capital Journal family long
; er than that, however. She and
. her husband began taking it
j shortly after they moved to Sa-
i lem from Montana in 1917. After
. her husband's death, Mrs. Clark
" began living with the daughter.
' They moved to Sheridan after
; she had been in Salem for 15 or
"s 16 years and about four years
' ago came to Dallas, making their
; home at 504 Ellis street.
At 96 years of age, Mrs. Clark
i though hard of hearing, is act
ive and lively.
"No, I don't want my picture
taken! Go on away!" she shout
ed to the Dallas representatives
of the Capital Journal when they
ailed at her home. But the
twinkle in her eye told a differ
ent story. She was seated in a
favorite rocking chair by a front
window. The daughter said, "Of
course, she'd like to have it tak
en." After a few sweeps of a comb
through her hair, Mrs. Clark
picked up a copy of the previous
day's Capital Journal and be
came interested in a front page
story, only blinking slightly at
the flash bulbs going off.
As to physical health, Mrs.
Clark seems, as the old-timers
often put it, "tougher than a pine
knot."
On January 29 of this year
she was out riding with her
grandson on her first auto trip
in a long time. They became in
volved in an accident at the In
dependence junction of the Dallas-Salem
highway, and Mrs.
Clark sustained a fractured
full.
A mere fractured skull didn't
stop this grand old lady, how
ever. She vowed that she would
never go out in an auto again,
but Easter time found her re
covered, and she took another
trip on that day with her grand
son to Salem.
Mrs. Clark is a familiar sight
on the street alone in northwest j
Dallas for she takes at least one
festurt will h the Czech Jolly
dancers from Mill City and Scio,
headed by Arey Podrobsky.
There will be 18 in the group.
Also included In the evening's
program will be three style
shows Dresses and coats will
be shown at 8 30 p.m., suits and
accessories at 9:15 p.m., and
sportswear at 10 p.m.
There will be no admission
charge. All are invited to the
dance, including members of
the various square dance clubs
in the area.
Refreshments will be served
by Boy Scouts, with all proceeds
