Well folks, how is this for summer weather?? It seems like I remember we did a lot of moaing and groaning about no spring, the late summer, the rain, the cold, and maybe a few other things. With the weather in the 90s and no let up in sight I think maybe it is MORE than making up for the other. Oh, well, just something more to groan about.

Haven’t had a chance to see them and thank them person- naly yet, but until I do, I will thank them here. DID YOU KNOW? The first post office here was named Henness and Mrs. Thomas Henness was postmistress. Lat er the name was changed to Rock Creek with Bennett Ro bertson postmaster for many years. In 1889 when the rail road came through the post office was changed to Gates ville after Mr. and Mrs. Al Gates, who ran a hotel here for a long time. Then several years later it was changed to Gates. I got initiated into being a grandma Saturday night, with by granddaughter, Andrea, spending the night with me. I had forgotten how many arms and legs a 2% year old has, and how much they keep them moving in their sleep. Who slept? Must have been Andrea. Trying to beat the heat a little on Sunday were Mr. and Mrs. Pete Peterson and three children of Salem. They came up to her parent’s Mr. and Mrs. Mel Newberg and found it quite WARM up here but kids got to play under sprink lers and had some trees for a little shade. Seems like this isn’t going to be much of a year for the loggers, what with the late start this spring and now the short days due to low humid ity. What next? Usually when I wash my car it causes it to rain, but some thing happened this time. Al though it is foggy this (Tues day) don't think it will turn into rain, since last night’s forecast for 100 degrees today. Sure hope that forecaster is wrong. Chris Fitzmorris of Browns ville spent a couple of days last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Harrison. He is Sharon’s nephew. On Saturday they returned him to his home. Unexpected company o n Wednesday at the Floyd John son home was Mrs. Gerry Wil son and two grandsons from San Pablo, Calif. They had been visiting Mrs. Wilson’s sis ter in Newberg and were on their way home. She owns a lot in the Johnson Addition, and stops periodically to see if it is still there and have a visit with the Johnsons.

It’s summertime again. And it's hot. And the Swelters—those nasty little devils! —are back, all set to turn another summer into sticky, stuffy misery. Don’t bother trying to hide. Swelters stick with you, breathing down your neck, no matter where you go —when you’re cooking, when you’re trying to sleep, all day, all night long. Opening doors and windows and pulling the blinds won't help, either. In fact, there’s only one way to stamp out Swelters. And that’s with electric air conditioning. Get an electric room air conditioner, and keep Swelters out of extra important places—your kitchen, your bedroom, any room in the house. Or try whole house air conditioning, and wipe them out completely. Whichever you choose, your house will stay cooler. And you'll stay a whole lot happier. This year, stamp the Swelters out of your home. See your favorite appliance dealer.
