Ladies club met Wednesday aft
ernoon at the home of Mrs. Walt
er Timm at TouVelle park, with
18 ladies and 15 children attend
ing. It was to have been an out
door meeting, but before its con
clusion the participants were
forced to seek shelter in the
Timm home, being frowned upon
by the weather with the delivery
of a sprinkling of rain. Several
members of long standing now
living in other parts of the val
ley were present.
Mrs. W. M. Howsley returned
Monday from a three week mo
tor'trip that took her to the states
of Nebraska, Missouri and Tex
as, where she visited relatives.
Sessions of the daily Vacation
Bible school closed here Wednes
day with a program at the school
house In the evening. Prizes were
given to children for memory
work in committing to memory
verses from the Bible. First prize
went to Mark Bishop, and second
to Candace Bishop with Joe Stal
ing; a close competitor. Some 30
children, aged from 4 to 15. in
cluding several from Sams Val
ley, attended the sessions.
Bill Bishop arrived here Tues
day from Kansas City, Kans.,
via Ontario, Ore., coming to On

way by truckr He is now busy
making arrangements to move in
a few days with his family to
their new home in Kansas City.
Roy Baker of the Phoenix dis

few days with his weed spraying
equipment.
Chinese pheasants are doing
extensive damage here to sweet
corn and melon plantings, in
some cases being so destructive
that farmers carry shotguns
when working in their fields.
The Egyptians had their ten

them moles, gophers, mosquitoes
or a game commission to turn
loose domesticated pheasants to
destroy their crops.

Carl Vanderpool and Wayne
Wyatt, members of the local Sun
day school, recently gave the
school grounds a good cleaning,
removing and burning rubbish
and mowing the weeds and
grass.
We are sorry to report that H.
W. Davisson was taken to the
Sacred Heart hospital last
Wednesday and is at present
quite ill with a stomach ailment.
Last Sunday we attended the
birthday anniversary party for
Mrs. Olive Dean at the old Dean
home in the Willow Springs dis
trict. In the yard we saw a small
monument telling of the Dean
family settling on this farm
back in 1851. It seems to us quite
a distinction for a family to have
kept the same farm for more
than 100 years with some mem
ber living on it during all of
this time. They must have paid
a lot of taxes, been good citizens
and an asset to the community
or they would have worn their
welcome out long before this.
We met many old timers at
the party that we seldom see,
only on such occasions, and con
versations brought back to mind
many incidents of happenings of
long ago, some sad, but others
quite amusing.
Among those we met was Jess
Glass, an old time playmate,
which reminded us of the time
Jess worked as water boy for
the Glass grain threshing outfit
belonging to his brothers where
he was supposed to keep a fresh
supply of water on tap for the
cook house and the 17-man crew.
The water system consisted of
a 50-gallon barrel mounted on a
two-wheel cart drawn by two
horses, and was some task to fill
Young folks just starting out this month (and Jorgen

Bunday, June 17, 1958
The population of the U.S. has

years it should be 178 million
and in ten years, 190 million.
By 1975, there will be more
than 221 million people in

from a pitcher pump, or the old
oaken bucket. One day Jess had
driven down with his water cart
and we had played around until
we discovered it was nearly noon
and no drinking water for the
cook and crew. From where we
were the river was the nearest
source of water so we made for
it, Jess urging the horses to a
fast trot. When we got there we
thought we could speed things
up even more by pulling out the
plug and driving into the stream,
but when getting into deeper
water, the barrel began to float,
so one of us straddled it and we
soon had a supply of water, such
as it was. Later we heard that
some of the crew claimed that
there was something wrong with
the water, and raised a stink
about it.
We asked Jess how he came
out on the water deal, but he
claimed he didn't remember it.
Another incident that was
hashed over by old timers was
the hilarious party held by some
of the men when Colonel Ross
started to do an Indian war
dance, but didn't have a war
bonnet, so grabbed a cooking pot
and pulled it over his head, but
found when the dance was over
the pot had wedged on his head
and couldn't be removed, so one
of his fellow dancers had to take
him to a blacksmith in Jackson
ville to get his head free.
