First, with re-newed vigor, our men got busy and replaced the main bridge over Willow creek. 'Twas a sorry sight, (makes me shudder to think I'd driven over the old one when the under pinning was so "honey-combed.") But now it's just beautiful, and with strong new lumber. "Judge" Carmichael manned his power saw and cut up numerous old dead chunks dragged out of the creek and made them fire place length. Thanks, Judge! And Frances Doherty seems not to tire of firing the brush piles. Many men (and girls, too) were hard at work cleaning the creek of all the small pieces of wood swept down by the flash flood. Absolutely had to be done before another high water. These last few nice days have brought out many golfers. Mor ris Brown and Al Nysted chall enged John Snyder and my Grib to a fun match last Thursday afternoon. After 14 holes, they were all even, Say, gal golfers, John will be here all set to teach on this Saturday, March 24, at 9:30 a. m. if you plan on lessons, get your self down and make your ap pointment. He plans on giving them every Saturday for six weeks. Sunday many played and, though we didn't plan anything special, 'twas fun. I saw Hester and Oliver Creswick, Harlan and Arolene Schroeder from Kinzua, Ed and Bev Gunderson, Vi and Conley Lanham, Cork and Jim Norene, Marie and Clint Mc Juarrie, Jan and Clint Agee, Don McCloud, Velma Glass, Bob Johnson, Jim Sutherland, Judge Carmichael, Morrie Groves, Har lan McCurdy, Van Marter, Sr., Grib and myself. We still aren't playing num ber one and two fairways too soft under foot and new grass isn't up yet. Ladies Day should be estab lished soon so, gals, if you have any suggestions, call Marie or me. In the past we've had a good crew down on Tuesdays from lone and Lexington and the lower country. We really wish you'd come back and play this year again. Weather permitting, let's all get our clubs and play this next Sunday around 2:00 for a mixer and get-acquainted two-ba,ll foresome. Bye for now.
