The mosquito made his ap pearance Thursday morning at the breakfast table of the Champions, humming his sil ly little tune, but it was a short spring for him. He got clobbered after only one “m” in his hum. Another resident reported a lady-bug crawling around on her table, and a spring robin has been noted feeding with a variety of birds. In the case of the robin, it makes one won der if he had a falling out with his tribe, or if he thought he was tough enough to winter here. What ever his reason may have been he is still around and comes daily along with the other horde of birds for a handout. The lady-bug we figure is no lady, or she wouldn’t be making her appearance at this early stage. We are betting she would do almost anything to see just one green blade of grass, but then, she has got nothing on us tramping around in snow up to a tall Indian’s shoulder. Elk have been noted moving into closer range in search of food. A few of these were spotted near Mary’s Creek last week east of Idanha. Some damage has occurred to build ings in the area, and some shrubs and trees, not of the na tive type have suffered dam age. According to the almanac, as rumor has it, snow will con tinue until the middle of Feb ruary. We hope the old boy is wrong, because he sure never made any arrangements where to put any more of it.

Signs of Spring Evident in Detroit A Gates man seeking rever sal of his second degree mur der sentence is taking his dase to the Oregon Supreme Court. Rex Howard Herron, sen tenced to 11 years In the State Penitentiary for the March 21, 1965, beating death of his wife, Rosemary, filed notice of ap peal of the denial of post-con- vlctlon relief by Marion County Circuit Court. In the post-conviction action Herron said he pleaded guilty to second degree murder be cause he did not understand the differences among various de grees of homicide. Actually, he contended, he is guilty of no greater crime than voluntary manslaughter. Circuit Judge Douglas L. Hay ruled Herron was ade quately advised cf the conse quences of the plea by his two attorneys. WE ARE HELP By Karen Oliver GATES — Hollis Tumidge got caught behind a snow slide around a curve above the De troit Dam on Monday and traf fic was held up for awhile un til the Highway Department could get it cleaned up. It was fortunate that Hollis had his power saw and a shov el in the back of his pick-up, as a tree had fallen down with the snow and was hanging above the road blocking one lane of traffic, so he used his saw and cut the tree up out of the way. A lot of other peo ple around Gates have been helpful also in our snow crisis. Delbert Neal used his scraper and cleaned off some of the back streets and driveways. Jack Gulliford used his big D8 cat with a bulldozer and open ed up the road to Foley’s house and cleaned out the street in front of the Fire Hall so the trucks could get out if neces sary. There are probably oth ers who have helped that has not been reported but it does show that there are still a lot of fine helpful people left in this world yet, despite the fact that we usually only hear about the other kind.
