The Circuit Writer
by Re*. Jim Monroe
My friend Hermann Joiner
came bouncing into my office
last Tuesday "Hey Jim! We
want you to join the
M A.M.A.’s."
"The what?"
"The Malheur Association
for the Maintenance of
Aardvarks!"
"But," I noted, “I haven't
seeh any aardvarks around
here."
"You see!" Herm was
near hysteria. "We have to
move fast to save them!!"
I didn’t join, but Herm got
me for five dollars to "locate
and protect area aardvarks."
Wednesday, Hermann was
back in the office. "By the
way. we would like to take
you into the Solemn Order of
Bats tonight If you join now,
I can guarantee you an uffice«
Whaddyasay!!!! Join us in
our belfry tonight! All you do
for initiation is hang by your
ankles for three hours and.."
My discretion overcame
my thrill at being asked.
“With initials like those
there is no way a man of the
doth will joinl" And. I
didn't, but another five bucks
went out for "researching a
new name (maybe the solemn
order of aardvarks?).
Friday morning, helpful
Herm was back again "You
«wouldn't believe what I'm
going to do for you!"
I said, "I believe Herm. I
believe!" I thought 'To me.
not for me.'
"I am putting you on a
chain letter for dog food!
Send one can to the name at
the top of the list, and then
put your name at the bottom
Why one woman kept the
chain intact and in a very
■bort time received 16,552
cans of "Bowser" dog food.
Don't break the chain,
though! Last guy did that,
was bitten by a raging dog.
Had his toe bandaged for
week. Next can of hash he
opened up had a funny taste
to it too."
"But, Hermann. I don't
•ven have a dog!"
"That's the other chain
letter I wanted to talk to you
about....*’
I didn't give Herm any
auxiev this time, but I did
send in five ones to the local
S.P.C.A.
I also donated
three cans of "Bowser" dog
food. I would have had more,
but I broke the chain.
Women Return
From Trip
«
Mrs
Bill Webb. Mrs.
Margarete Payne and Mrs.
Pauline King of Ontario
returned home Saturday eve-
sing after a 1,338 mile trip.
They were gone one week
First they all attended the
«redding of Mr. and Mrs.
Don Payne at Klamath Falls.
A garden wedding with
reception. They spent two
days at the "Lake of The
Woods" near Klamath Falls.
One night was spent with
Mrs. Norman Harp at Salem
and one night with Mr. and
Mrs. Vance Welty and family
of Dallas. Oregon. They
visited Laura and Jim King at
Corvallis and later went to
the Coast for a picnic.
There were now ten in the
group from those where they
had visited. They went to
Pacific City and watched the
dory boats come in and go
out. It was really exciting as
the waves were high, and
they went real fast. They saw
a fellow with a kite flying off
a high cliff near Pacific City.
In Milwaukie. Oregon, they
spent one night with Russ
and Margarete Coffman. In
Oregon City they visited Mr.
and Mrs. Wallace Butler and
girls.
A group of the Hostess at
Portland where they visited
took them to the Zoo. It was
beautiful along the Coast that
day, you did not need a
sweater. They saw so many
interesting animals. It was a
wonderfill trip for all.
Sunday after church, I saw
Hermann heading towards
me. The best defense is a
good offense, so I beat him
to the draw!
"Hermann Joiner!I Good
to see you! I need to ask you
a big favor!! (He reeled) You
see. we need someone to
head up our financial drive.
(He was against the ropes) I
really think you could do it!
(He was down for the
count...) I'll give you all the
verbal support I can. and. "
"Are you kidding?!?"
Herm was stammering "I'm
no gixxl at getting money out
of anyone! Why, (shyly
chuckling) I only kick, 'er I
mean, put in a dollar a week
myself!"
As I walked home, without
a chairman for the drive. I
marveled at how blind we
often are to our God-given
strengths and talents. We
can't see what's so obvious to
others. Almost at the back
door, a cock a-poo jumped
me. It seems I'd broken the
wrong chain....

the fifth grade classes of Don
Baker. Mrs. Elaine Nelson.
Miss Christine McPike and
Mrs. Jan Wilson, went to
Fort Boise, by the Snake
River for a field trip. When
we got there we all started to
explore. We found a pond
where we saw animal tracks.
Mrs. Wilson, my teacher,
brought some plaster in case
we Found track«. WedidIWe
made prints of deer, raccoon
and we think a heron bird
tracks.
Some kids brought back
some stems of plants which
showed teeth marks of being
chewed by animals. Kim
Scarbraugh found some dried
out grasshopper skins.
We looked at the Fort
Boise monument by the river.
Fort Boise is now under
water because the river
channel changed.
We ate our lunches by the
river and explored around
more before we returned to
school.
