Typical of the Doetic material
is "Simple Reasons" bv Mike
liedman:
"Everything was green In the
mountains that day,
"And the sun shone bright
ly, with not a cloud In the
way.
"Everything looked clean with
the freshness of spring,
"And the music of the birds
just made the air ring.
'The cold, wet snow had gone
away,
"To make more room for
the squirrels to play.
"In the woods I heard a scrape
ana a crasn,
"And saw a deer as to safe
ty he dashed.
"I looked up to watch an
eagle soar,
"Big and bold, the guard of
Heavens door.
"I caught a glimpse of a
scurrying mouse,
As he ran to the safety of
nis mtie dirt house.
"They caught my attention,
as the robins played.
"And I admired the job of
tne nest they had made.
"The squirrels were hustling
and bustling, gathering up
seed,
"So when winter came that
they'd have some feed.
"The flowers and grasses blew
in the breeze,
"And I laughed as the In
sects on them were teased.
"These are what I love the
mountains for.
"These few simple reasons,
and many, many more."

As the weather gets nicer
more women are coming out on
Tuesdays for Ladles Day. On
May 13. 12 lady golfers turned
out to play the nine holes. We
extend a hearty welcome to all
gals that would like to play
golf on our special day, start
ing time Is 9:00 a.m. Ronnie
Balfe and Barbara Clough plan
ned the play and prizes for the
day and also had a cool drink
placed on Hole No. 7 for the
"pause that refreshes." Beverly
ounderson received a golf ball
for low gross and Ronnie Balfe
received a ball for the other
prize. An eclectic score board
has been prepared by Dee Crib
ble, handicap chairman for the
women, and we are working on
that on our golf day.
The first barbecue of the sea
son on Saturday evening was a
huge success! This also fell In
to the two weeks' duties for
hostesses Ronnie Balfe and Bar
bara Clough. (Seems like they
really had a workout on their
scheduled two weeks, as set up
by the programming board).
About 20 couples attended, some
playing golf before eating, oth
ers coming out for the barbe
cue. Special guests for the eve
ning were Jeanine and Ken
Turner, Judy and Norm Rickert
and Glen Holmquist. Food was
In abundance and if anyone
went home hungry, it was not
the fault of the good cooks that
prepared it.
Work on the new porch is
progressing rapidly. It won't be
long until it is finished and we
can really enjoy it. Concrete
blocks were poured last Thurs
day and a crew worked Satur
day on the underpinnings, which
is a good start. Any offers to
help will be gladly accepted by
Ed Hiemstra and don't be sur
prised if he calls on you to
pound nails or whatever, when
he has a work day planned.
Many hands make light work,
you know.
Hosts for Sunday afternoon
planned play were Marylee and
Ld Hiemstra. Seven couples and
six single men participated.
Helen Schaffitz and Lowell
Gribble were awarded golf balls
for low score and for the two
ball foursome. Judge Carmich-
ael was the winner in the sing
le men's group for a prize. Rain
in the early afternoon looked
like it might spoil Sunday's
play, but there are always brave
dedicated golfers that will take
chance on old man weath
er". As it turned out, by 3:00
the weather was beautiful for
playing.
The LeRov Gardners and Joe
Balfes are schedeuled for plan
ning next Sunday's afternoon of
golf at 3:00.
