T hanksgiving week is th a t of W. S.
R aker, b ro th er of C. I. R aker, who is
know n to a num ber of G resham peo­
ple. Mr. R aker had th e unique and
th rillin g experience of bringing to
G resham and to his hom e in P o rtlan d
his Ford sedan w hich was snowed in

T he trip was m ade on th e O. W.
