I1 HARSTINE ..... The first
Grange meeting of the year will
take place at the Community Hall
on Friday evening this week.
Members are asked to be at the
ball by 6:30 p.m. for a pot luck
dinner which precedes each meet-
ing. The new 1969 officers will
preside over this January meet-
ing.
Social Club met last Friday
evening. Al the first meeting of
the new year they heht
election of officers. They are
president, Wayne Browning; vice-
president, Bert Campbell; Sec-
retary, Mary Baunsgard. The
club retained Monica Pridham
as treasurer and Bert Canlpbell
as custodian.
The discussion ()f the broken
pipes at the Hall was a reminder
of the Arctic conditions in this
area the last few days of the
outgoing 3'ear, 1968. Fortunately.
the damage was not too great
and repairs have already been
made. A new policy of turning
the water off at the pump house
is going to be used in the future.
This item mostly personal. This
reporter would like to express a
most sincere al)l)reciation to the
Journal staff for all the space
alloted this column in last week's
paper. A great many readers
made a special effort to let it be
known how much they enjoy this
yearly review.
Now to briefly review a few
of the items that were news at
the end of last year and, under-
standably due to space, couldn't
be used last week.
Probably the one significant
thought that came to mind sadly,
as I read through all of last
year's columns were the friends
and neighbors who died during
the year. Because some of the
names were inadvertently omit-
ted in last week's column we'll
mons) Rutherford, a teacher here
for many years, died at her home
in Montesano. And then word ar-
rived from Covina, Calif. that
Jim Widrig had died at a Rest
Home there.
News was received from Santa
Barbara, Calif. where Peggy and
Alvin Anderson and their son,
Mark make their home in the
winter that Alvin has been hos-
pitalized at the Cottage Hospital
with pcnumonia after a bad bout
with the flu previously. We hope
by this time that his condition
is improved over what it was
the end of htst week.
The end of December Paul and
Odeyne Chaffee were transferred
from the Fir I_tne Terrace Rest
florae in Shclton to the Emerald
Terrace Rest Home, Garrison Rd.
in Vancouver. The move was
made so that the couple would
l)e nearer their immediate family.
I'm sure cards or notes from
their friends here would be very
greatly appreciated.
Jim and Ella McAuliffe enjoy-
ed having their son, Mike and
his wife, Betty and their daugh-
ter, Gina with them for a nice
long visit over the Christmas and
New Year's Holidays. The young
family makes their home near
Pahn Beach where Mike is
still stationed with the Marines.
The Steig Gabrielsens are now
permanent resioents at their home
on Spencer's Cove. Steig's mot-
her, Magdalena Gabrielsen will
also b( living here with Steig and
Beula. Unfortunately, their move
coincided with the very miser-
able weather at the end of the
year, which to say the least didn't
make it a very pleasant job.
Mother Nature got right down
plain ornery right after Christ-
mas. Temperatures plunged to
record breaking laws. Fortunate-
ly the eohl snap didn't last very
just briefly list those ten friends
here.

long. But for most residents it
was long enough in the face of
frozen and broken water pipes,
heating problems, just to mention
a few headaches. With the New
Year came a slow warming trend
which was most welcone.
However, due to the cold weat-
her and bad road conditions,
along with a number of cases of
flu it was decided it would be
best to call off the January meet-
ing of the Women's Club.
There is a bit of progress to

of last week a section of the

road restrictions and providing
Mother Nature is in cooperative

Blackie Shadbolt was hospita-

he would be there for a few days
yet.
Aina Anderson just got back

tus, and his wife for a short visit.

needs an adorable poodle as an

The swimming pool at the Hole-
in-the-Wall which was first ooen-
ed over the Thanksgiving week
end has been a popular place for
property owners even though all
the Arctic-like weather that occur-
red during the past few weeks.
Harry Craft. told us they simply
raised the temperature of the
water in the pool and about ten
or twelve degrees and laughed
at the weather as they had a
thoroughly enjoyable swim. How-
ever, a fuel strike in the North-
west, and fearing they would not
