Arne and Elizabeth Berndt
trimmed and cut into split-
ting lengths some of the hem-
lock knocked down by the win-
ter windstorm. They stacked it
nicely and placed a note on the
timber which identified it as
their wood. Then the Berndts
had to be away for some days
on business and when they re-
turned they were dismayed that
someone had taken their stash
of firewood.
THEY ARE hopeful that
the wood was removed because
someone mistakenly thought it
was free fbr the taking. Regard-
less, the Berndts would certain-
ly like to have their logs back as
they planned to use them as fuel
for the balance of this winter
and the winter to come. If" you
know anything about the disap-
pearing timber call them at 432-
9940.
Seven pots of chili were sub-
mitted for judging at the com-
munity club meeting of" Friday,
February 9, and the result was
a three-way tie fbr top honors.
Carol and Matt Lettich, fi)r the
second year, were winners, but
Arlen Morris and Rose Benz re-
ceived the same number of votes.
In recognition of their prowess at
producing prime chili, all of the
three contenders were awarded
first place and a $15 prize.
