Those who despise fame seldom deserve
it. We are apt to undervalue the purchase
we cannot reach, to conceal our poverty
the better. It is a spark that kindles upon
the best fuel, and burns brightest in the
bravest breast.

Springwater
By Myrtle Dmytryk
A very few people
turned
out for the Social night at the
Springwater Grange last Fri
day night and after they fin
ished their dinner
they all
went to the giaduation exer
cises at the
Estucadu High
School. According to the Mas
ter Del Gant it
was a very
good Lecturers program. There
was a big turn out of Spring-
water people at the
gradua
tion.
I talked to Jackie Lee.
who was helping Elma and
Lyle Patterson take care
of
their sons. It would be nice if
we could see more of the Pat
tersons. Wilma and Joe Gutt-
ridge, the Tony Vaiitzs, Matt
Otts and Mary Ellen Hodgkiss
were all on the other aisle so
I couldn’t say much to them.
Bernice Miller was with the
Viola minister and his wife;
Nita and Del Gant, the Shib-
leys, Wahlstroms. and all
of
the relatives were real excited
with the big event. Every one
was exceptionally proud
of
Winnie Shibley. Her valadict-
orian speech was one of
the
best I have ever heard and
from the general comment in
the audience, they agreed with
me.
Winnie handled herself
with such poise and self-as
surance. she proved herself to
be a credit not only to the
Grange, but the entire com
munity.
Our other
Springwater
graduate. Judy
Fredricksen,
celebrated the occasion with
her 'steady' Don Looney, and
Bea Ruhl and Bill Griggs.The
young folks all went out to
Jantzen Beach for a whirl. On
Sunday. Judy and Don took a
drive up to The Dalles dam,
and came home by way of the
Mt. Hood Loop.
Larry and Jerry Wahlstrom
went to Hermiston on Satur
day to spend
the weekend
with the Olsons. Mr. and Mrs.
Olson are former Springwater
residents who moved to Eas
tern Oregon last fall.
Mps. My. i Linu was operat
ed on at the Providence Hos
pital in Portland last -'riday,
and according to h-r husband.
Elmer, she came through the
ordeai with flying colors.Myrl
will have to remain in the hos
pital for
tw0
weeks.
so
this is a good time for us to get
out the cards and let her know
that her friends miss her. El

taken over the Estacada Feed
