with a Christmas party. Twenty-
two guests enjoyed an evening of
five hundred with high prizes be-
ing won by Mrs. Ira Collins and
Ray Peterson. Low prizes were
taken by Mrs. Del Laramie and
Gordon Dickinson. Candles and a
Christmas tree ablaze with lights
decorated the house.
FEATU'RE OF TIlE evening
was the visit of Santa Claus, in
the form of rotund Otto Radtke
who, behind a smiling mask with
long white whiskers, passed out
interesting Christmas gifts. Un,
usual among them were a hand-
t)ainted package of paper table
napkins, a two inch high plastic
hen which actually laid eggs, a
three-inch tall windup man with
a suitcase who walked the floor
for the delighted guests, and an
aluminum frying pan in which an
egg could be fried square.
Refreshments of pie, sandwich-
es and coffee were served by the
hostess, assisted by Mrs. Alice
Hill. The evening was climaxed
with music by Otto Radtke with
his guitar and Frances Radtke at
the piano, accompanied by com-
munity singing. Next party is
planned for January 13, at the
home of Mrs. Vera Linscott who
will be assisted by Mrs. Frances
Radtke.
DEPARTING GUESTS found a
two-inch snowfall which had ac-
cumlated while they were having
their evening of fun.
Mr. and Mrs. Del Laramie who
were Christmas shopping in Ta-
coma Tuesday and Wednesday en-
tertained Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Shelton and Mr. and Mrs. H. S.
Ahern of Shelton at Sunday din-
her.
Where else on earth could one
find a Christmas tree ablaze with
lights in the middle of a small
lake, its reflection shining in the
clear cold water, except at Stand-
still Lake? It is a little Christ-
mas tree with a diving board
sticking from under its lower
branches.
VISITORS USE CAUTIONr The
road to Cushman has snow sev-
eral inches deep and is slippery
with ice, with a temporary bridge
making driving hazardous.
Cushmanites will go caroling
Friday night to the music of Otto
Radtke's guitar. Meanwhile small
fry are busy sleigh riding and
skiing.
Goodwill Industries
Is Year-Round Santa
The best Christmas present is
the chance to work. Taconla
Goodwill Industries has been play-
ing Santa Claus all year to handi-
capped people with the help of
their friends. An average of 60
handicapped people have been em-
ployed in the 13 workshops at
Goodwill Industries, repairing dis-
carded materials discarded by the
homes of this area.
J. Italor Titeomb, superintend-
ent, reports that 123 different peo-
ple have had work at Goodwill
Industries during the 11 months
nd that $76,690 has been paid
()tit ill wages. These workers have
many different types of handi-
cap--weak hearts, defective hear-
ing and eyesight, paralysis; some
are lame, some without hand or
leg, or even ribs. But all havo
had what everyone wants and
needs most.-the chance to be
self-supporting.
Goodwill Industries' workers say
"thank you" to all the friends
who have contributed materials
which provide jobs, and wish all
a Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year.

extension agent, reminded cattle-
men today that no bull is safe,
regardless of how gentle he may
seem. The so-called gentle bull is
too often tim one which acts at
unexpected moments, gores some-
one to death or inflicts serious in-
jury.
One of the principal rules re-
garding bulls, Kruiswyk points
out, is to handle them as little
as possible. With a well-con-
structed bull pen, any bull ran be
cared for safely. The gates and
doors, as well as facilities for
feeding, watering and breeding,
can be arranged so there is no
need for the caretaker to expose
himself to attack.
