It lakes a fully electronic watch to keep
pace with her new life style. A watch
that goes wherever she goes, good
looking and trouble free. She can
depend on her Caravelle Electronic by

electronic circuitry and a tiny long-life
battery. And never needs winding!
The Rhea Creek Grange was
the scene of a very happy
occasion for the Kill family on
December 30, 1972. Ninon and
Leonard Rill were honored, by
their children and members of
the grange with a family
potluck and an open house, on
their 50th wedding anniversary.
Making the event even more
special was the fact that all of
the Rill's seven children and 20
of their 24 grandchildren were
able to attend. Their son Evan
makes his home near
Ellensburg, Washington ;
Myron lives at Connell, Wash
ington; William and Cecil live
on the farm near Heppner and
Lynn's home is in Fairbanks,
Alasks. Charlene, their daugh
ter, lives in Phoenix, Arizona
and their other daughter,
Sharon,, drove up from San
Antonio, Texas.
The table was set with a gold
colored service. The anniver
sary cake was decorated with
laverdar iris like those Ninon
grows every spring. Bouquets of
lavendar and yellow mums
decorated the hall. Ninon wore
a lavendar orchid.
Alva Rill, granddaughter-in-law
of the honored couple, from
Moses Lake, Washington, cut
and served the cake. Mary Rill,
. granddaughter of -. Ellensburg,
Washington, served the cottee
and tea. Taking care of the
guest book were granddaugh
ters Ninon Rill of Ellensburg,
and Denise Rill of Connell, Wa.
Pouring fruit punch was Trina
Rill, granddaughter -. , of
Connell, Wa.
Grange women helping with
the dinner and reception were:
Mrs. Harold Wright, Mrs.
Walter Wright, Mrs. Bob
Stevens, Mrs. Elmer Palmer,
Mrs. Adrian Bechdolt and
Miss Marilyn Bergstrom.
Leonard and Ninon met when
Leonard came to work for
Ninon's father.
He was born at Mt. Vernon,
Missouri, the son of Lewis and
Laura Rill. He was 22 years old
when he came west in 1921 with
a friend. They drove out in a
Dodge touring car. Leonard
worked in Portland on a dairy
farm until May 1922. He didn't
like all the rain so he came to
Finally-James M. Perry says
in the National Observer: "It
is a journalist's function to
collect information, absorb it,

Huston on tneir ranch at h: oht-
Mile. This is when he met
Ninon. They were married Dec
30 of that year. They lived there
on the ranch for two years when
they leased her grandfather's
ranch. Later they bought the
ranch and have made their
home there for 48 years.
Their son William Rill now
farms the ranch.
Leonard continues to enjoy
fishing and hunting as he
always has. Ninon raises acres
and acres of flowers. They have
done some traveling all over the
west, into Canada and Mexico.
I've been told that there're
horses grazing up on the
diversion ditches on Shobe
Canyon. Can't really blame
them because they were all
seeded to grass last fall and
should be good eating. But that
ground is real soft and what
holes those hooves can make in
our diversion ditches. I say ours
because the townspeople raised
$5000 to add to $22,000 from the
government to make up the
$27,000 that the project cost.
..Many friends join us in
sending out very best wishes to
Mrs. Mary Bailey and her twin
