Biggs Junction to eat. Claude
looked around at the crowd and
stated he didn't see a soul he

he noticed the gentlemen next

Pretty soon it did come to him
and after a bit of questioning
he discovered the gentleman
was a cousin, Charles Bartell of
Moscow, Idaho. They hadn't
seen each other for 32 years.

Christmas to the week following
New Years. You can help to
make this a safe holiday per

Ida Farra Visits
Son in Hawaii
Mrs. Ida Farra has returned
from a two-week visit with her
son, Jim and family in Hawaii.
She reports the highlight of her
trip was being met at the air
port and presented with the tra
ditional Hawaiian 'hello' and lei
with her five year old grandson
doing the honors. Ida also made
the acquaintance of her new
granddaughter, who is now five
months old. James Farra has
been stationed in Hawaii with
the Navy for two years now, but
will be returning in February to
Vallejo, Calif.
One thing Ida especially took
note of in her sight-seeing was
the many shoe repair shops and
the amount of advertising the
shops do in the local papers.
This was particularly interest
ing to her in view of the fact
that most people wear sandals
or go bare-footed most of the
time, even to school.
She returned home Dec. 1 by
plane and missed the big storm
that caused a lot of damage to
the island by the huge waves.
She received a letter from
James, after her return, and he
reported they had had to evacu
ate but a large reef off shore
from their home broke the force
of the waves and they had no
damage.
The Dick Wightmans visited
the Farras while she was there
and sent greetings to all. They
report the Gazette-Times is the
best read publication in their
home.
Ida visited many of the points
of interest and reports Hawaii
is a beautiful vacation spot and
the weather wonderfully warm.
