By Mrs. R. W. King
Residents of Dewatto are ex-
tending sincere and heartfelt sym-
pathy to Mrs. Ruth Yates whose
brother Albert C. Kean of Brem-
erton died last week. Mrs. Yates
was accompanied to the funeral
by the Frank Pearce family. The
John Matson family cared for
Mrs. Yates' four children tempor-
arily while she was in town.
Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Beebe
spent a week in Bremerton as
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Clayton
Arnold. They went to town for
a day or two and were unable to
return to Dewatto because of bad
road conditions.
Snow last Saturday put us back
to midwinter conditions again just
when spring seemed right around
the corner. About eight inches
fell Saturday and Sunday al-
though most of it was washed
away by rain on the following
days. Ice still remained in some
shaded areas by last Friday.
Ed Trio1 suffered an injured
shoulder which necessitated a stay
of several days in Seattle for
treatment. He has now returned
to Dewatto feeling much better.
Willis Waltenburg was laid low
with a lame back for about a
week. The Charles Batten family
moved in with the Waltenburgs
for several days to take over the
farm chores Mr. Waltenburg was
unable to perform.
Two birthdays were celebrated
when Mrs. Frank Pearce and Mr.
Kenneth Beebc observed the oc-
casion on February 14 with birth-
day cakes and a gathering of the
two families.
