Hall Cora Lange, President Faye Davis, Secretary Hockey Freaks Take Advantage of Ice When the cold east wind comes up and the temperature starts to drop then the lakes and rivers start to freeze up Then out of nowhere comes the almost forgotten ice sport equipment This has been the case during the recent cold spell There has been an accumulation of three to seven inches of ice on Lake Vernonia There has also been a rare outbreaking of hockey and skating on the lake There is a group of high school boys who have been playing hockey on a section of the lake for most of the past cold spell They mark out an area with a goal on each end and away they go for the next hour or so killing each other for a stupid little black puck The average equip ment consists of a makeshift hockey stick and a pair of tennis shoes or boots, and a few pieces of warm clothing The first few times on the ice one is afraid it w ill break, but after a while he forgets about falling through because his main worry is being killed by another idiot playing hockey Is it all a hoax, or does George Val George possess a m agnifi cent g ift’’ Yes. that is the question’ Val George has traveled the four corners of the earth lectur ing and entertaining countless thousands with his baffling dem onstrations of E.S.P A compelling and dynamic showman he SKILLFU LLY and TASTEFULLY guides his au dience through amazing and fascinating possibilities of the mind The audience is kept spell bound and on the edge of their seats. While others have sought to solve the mystery of the Uni verse. Val George has spent a lifetim e attempting to discover the enigma of the human mind No one w ill believe what he can do! Watch him at the Washington Grade School on Monday January 21. at 2:50 in the afternoon Freezing Weather Slows Down Fishing Steclheaders this year have caught just enough Ironheads to just get them excited for the big runs to start As we all know the recent cold snap froze parts of the rivers over and put large pieces of ice floating down the stream Fish ing from boats was almost impossible because of the ice banging into the boats and snagging fishing lines There have been scattered reports from the local fishermen of success, but cool weather was hampering many anglers sev erely. The largest fish taken in the local area have been a 17 pounder and a 15 pounder, both taken in the same hole and by newcomers Io the sport.
