f Chris Lord I Spotlight A Senior Princess of Job's Daughters is Chris Lord, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Lord, and in May she will be installed as Honored Queen in which capacity she will ~rve for six months. The tollowing spring she intends to enroll in Peterson's Business School in Seattle. She plays clarinet in the band and her studies include sociology, speech, civics, and math, with speech as a favorite. She hopes to learn data processing. Fond of cats is Miss Lord, wffo is at present limited to five felines. "I used to have a lot more," she says, "but they got to be a pro~." She has a dog, also, and one gerbil. At one time, as a science project, she had a pair of the little creatures, but as they reproduced every 24 days and as each litter numbered from two to 12 offspring, she decided that just one gerbil was sufficient. Chris was born in Shelton on Dec. 5, 1952, and she has an older half-brother. She likes sports, and participated in Powder Puff Football. She usually spends her summers salmon fishing at Westport, and she enjoys smelting. "I hope to visit Maine next summer," Chris stated. rownle Too many cooks may spoil the broth, but they never did any harm to a big batch of Christmas bread. The girls of Brownie Troop No. 822, under the supervision of leader Mrs. Jo Lusignan and her assistant Mrs. Wilma Klokkevold are making Stollen and Julekaje, which are traditional with Scandinavian peoples. Other culinary achievements of the seven and eight year olds were Christmas cookies and taffy. They also study handicrafts, and have made paper mache Christmas trees. Pine cone turkeys were fashioned for Thanksgiving, and for Halloween the children visited the Pumpkin Farm near Tumwater, where they selected and purchased their potential Jack-o-lanterns. On the evening of December 22, the group sang Christmas carols throughout the neighborhood. By Jan Danford A fig-leaf costumed New Year's Eve Was by her hostess Asked to leave; The New Year's belie Had come to grief By turning over A new leaf. II151 I had a perfectly wonderful New Year's eve last year, marred only by a minor but rather embarrassing incident. May it never happen again. It started when, in my normal state of solitary splendor, I was preparing for the evening's festivities. I was donning a delightful new dress styled with long and fluidly flowing sleeves and with a zipper up the back which was long but neither fluid nor flowing. I have worked out a very satisfactory system for dealing with such dresses. As I am amazingly agile of arm for my before giving it a second try. It was then that I discovered, to my utter horror, that it was the long and fluidly flowing sleeve that was entrapped. I confess that I panicked. The pain in my dislocated shoulder was as nothing to the mental agonies I endured as I visualized the humiliating possibilities of my predicament. When one's pipes burst or one's car sulks one can call on a neighbor, but who could start the New Year by facing his fellow man in the wee small hours while straight-jacketed in her own dancing dress? The dawning of the first day of the New Year found me still locked in mortal combat with my zipper. If I had failed to wrestle my way out of the arm-bar, at least the zipper knew I'd put up a fight. advancing age and somewhat Some marry for money; questionable condition, I start by Some marry for love; thrusting my right hand behind But if ever I marry, I guess me to grasp the zipper from It will be when my arms below and push it upward as far Will no longer bend as possible.

This involves a mighty sucking-in of the diaphragm and a lengthy holding of the breath, and I have sometimes blacked-out in the process. On this occasion, however, all went well. My real problem presented itself upon my return to my home. I unzip myself in much the same manner as I accomplish the zipping, simply reversing the process. It was after I had pushed the zipper down from the top and had placed my right arm behind me to pull from below that I ran into difficulties. It stuck. "Oh-oh", I thought. "Now I've done it. I've got a bit of cloth caught in the works." I struggled for a few minutes, but soon decided to rest my aching arm O0 in Dinner was served and gifts were exchanged at the annual To make their Christmas Breads, they start with a basic sweet yeast dough to which is added nuts, raisons, candied fruits, and citron. The fruit is "worked in", the dough kneaded and roiled out into a sheet. It is then spread with butter, sprinkled with brown sugar and formed into a roll. The dough is allowed to rise once more, after which it is baked at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. ,V{" Page 8 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Thursday, December 31, 1970 Janice inn In the Mt.
