Flourescent colored balloons tied to the trees greeted Gwen with the surprise of gathered friends. The decorations had been made in secret work sessions with Mrs. Amick painting large balloons with "Happy Birthday Gwen" that were anchored and floating in the water during the party. Inner tubes had been painted with a rood theme by Mrs. Pederson and By LOUISE EWART --426-4925 ,Or This is my last column.

One ski was left as the boat was loaded after a swimming session on the family property. The loss was noticed later with a quick return to the lake but the wood-polished-color ski was not found. Driving the school bus will seem altogether different after the long awaited trip to Alaska for Vi Cokelet and husband Ed.

The evidence of the earthquake was seen in Valdez with the mountains at the edge of the sea at the bottom of the inlet so there is no seashore. The Cokelets met a woman who told of her husband being lost in the quake while loading a fishboat that was sucked into the waters, and of the school teacher walking hand in hand with his son and daughter and lost as the earth opened and then closed on them. A Japanese ship was seen at the newly built port unloading rows and rows of pipe.

I wasted half my vacation trying to decide whether to devote my Huck Friend column in this first issue to a welcome to all the subscribers of the Journal who might be giving our paper the once-over to see what this "Huckleberry Herald" business spread throughout the Journal the past three weeks is all about and then give a little history of our newspaper.., or if I should let the Herald subscribers in on all the little problems of the changeover.

Most people who might find themselves in the unusual position of having to drive through a metropolitan city with a goat in the back seat (how do you get in that position?) would travel after dark and keep to the alleys but not Louise. As her readers will discover when they read Louise's column this week, she is planning to become an ex-correspondent. I don't like the idea at all. I've been trying to think of something embarrassing she might have told me during our years of friendship with which I might blackmail her into continuing but l'm afraid she's already put them all in her column. Hey! I know what I can do. I can offer to correct all the spelling mistakes in her college papers this fall in exchange for a weekly column. How about it, Louise? Is it a deal?
