rodin ant a#t I qe. 181a, - ".,,on.. ( ....... i00inscotts Return From California In Hood Mr. and Mr.. O. K. Linseott re- turned March 16 from a two-week winter vacation in San Diego where they traveled in company with Mr. and 'Irs. Carl Rains of Shelton to visit their children, Mr. and Mrs. Robert l:,ins, and Mr. ;rod Mrs. l.obert Is:. Andrew of l,a Mesa. They took an additional 300-, mile side trip in the Andrew's station wagon to the Borego Springs Resort in the Anzo des- ert country east of San Diego. The trip began with a climb into the Laguna Mountains where, at an elevation of 5,500 feet they found seven feet of snow. Forty- five minutes later they were down to the Salton sea, 244 feet below sea level. Cactus was beginning to "bloom and Ocotilla colorful. Pink and verbena and evening primrose made a lovely desert carpet. Mrs. Linseott brought home t)ranches from the smoke tree to use in flower arrangements. Interesting sight was farmers in the lower Imperial valley plant- ing their tomato crops for the third time, recent cold weather and frosts having killed the first two plantings. The Linscott party returned home by the coast route through the Redwoods. California weather was sunny though they encounter. ed rain in the mountains O.

Mrs. Wolfram is said to have been hospitalized after the accident. Mr'. and Mrs. E. O. Gifford of Hoodsport were dinner and bridge guests of Mr. and Mrz. Frank Robinson Monday afternoon. Mrs. L. C.

Mrs. Pat Campbell Talks Before Hood Canal Women Club Pat Campbell, Port Ludlow au- ttmr of "Eliza" and "Lush Val- ley," two popular Northwest nov- els, tked Thursday to members and guests of the Hood Canal Woman's Chlb in Hoodsport. Witit delightful humor, much of it ",tim- ed in her own direction, she shar- ed with an appreciative audieme her experiences in the writing arid publishing of her books and some- thing ()i" the background of one she is now writing. She was intro- duced by Mrs. Mabel Avey, pro- gram chairman. Tall, '.slender, looking more like a college senior than the mother of a grown son, Patrieia Camp- bell during the war chose to con- centrate on fiction writing .ther than on worrying about her boy in the Navy. Her concentration resulted in two novels which made the best-seller list, "Eliza," her first book, is now in its fourth edition. Beginning it as a project for a novel-writing class under the direction of Dr. George Savage of the University of Washington, she would never have been able to bring "Eliza" to the publishing stage without the advice and assistance of this group, declares the author. She adds that she could not have sur- vived the revising stage, where the beginner is apt to "bog down" without Dr. Savage's "bull whip and blue pencil." Motivations for writing were discussed, but the most success- ful of underlying motives for cre- ative writing, according to the Northwest author, is the desire to share with others one's own understanding or picture of things. Before her afternoon talk, Mrs. Campbell was guest of honor at a buffet hmcheon served in the club room. She was presented with a corsage of Christmas roses made by Mrs. Ous Peterson of the garden department. Purple and white spring flowers were ar- ranged on a St. Patrick's Day green runner on the buffet table while green paper, shamrocks were m the small tables. Host- esses were Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Lee Erhart, Mrs. N. J. Sceva, Mrs. Frank Robinson and Mrs. Edward Radtke. Among the guests were Mrs. U. A. Goudie of Fairfax, Wash., Substantial Reductions .
