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. ,mi D g AT H S It, Mrs. Ors Wandell Died ]December 19 Another Shelton pioneer (lied this week.

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.
