I had no sooner recovered from dislocating my shoulder (dis- ciplinary measures) than Gor- don “looped and circles” his plane onto the garage roof. I left for Commissioners meeting and by the time I got home fa- ther had looped and circled him- self off the roof. Of course, broken ribs are no novelty in our. family but that doesn’t make them any less painful. I guess if we had let Gordon get it himself he wouldn’t have had any trouble. -It’s a toss-up — whether we survive raising three offspring or if they will. Tuesday was Bridge Commit- tee meeting, entertaining, en- lightening and exciting. Hope everyone interested and espec- ially the various club represent- atives will come out on the 14th, tomorrow night, in the Twin Rivers hall. You won't be sor- ry. Wednesday the nicest thing happened to me. got my watch! Oh it wasn’t new, but it had been in watch hospitals all over the country side and I had begun to wonder if it could be fixed. Then Marlies Brodman sent it down to her brother-in- law and lo and behold—a new watch. After three years with- out it, it really is like having a new watch and I’m just like a kid—looking at it every two minutes. You’d think one pleasant sur- prise a week is quite suffcient but on Thursday the mail held still another. A photo of the Jack Horricks family. So real I could talk to them and ex- pect an answer. Sylvia looks so natural and sweet holding that dear little baby girl. You can just tell she is pleased to have her. And Colin Henry (named for his two grandfathers) looks so bright you can see he will be a credit, wise expression in his eyes. and I’m so glad and proud to have the photograph. Thursday night Dolly Waite and I got our wires crossed and found ourselves baking and ma- king sandwiches for her hus- band’s birthday party and mak- ing more sandwiches for the U. C. W. A. Oh, yes, we knew it was meeting night but figured they’d get along as well or bet- ter without us, forgetting en- tirely that a month before we had offered to help serve. Well we managed to do both but poor Ella Davis and Ann Easton got in for the extra work we should have done. That’s another favor We oOwe—only hope all the ac- counting doesn’t come on one day. Friday was a very full day. Visited the Grade schools in the to go to school. They are a grand family ~ “afternoon and were glad we went. The classes all seem to be doing so well. No wonder most School these days. You could see envy written all over the faces of the little tykes visiting for the day that are too young ‘That evening we went to Civil Defence — a friend I'know calls it “Self De- fence” — she is closer to the truth than she thinks, From now on in that class it is every man for himself. I’d like to suggest that certain persons need a lot more practice witn the stirrup pump, or better yet, make Mike Dalton leave the nozzle strictly alone. He is def- initely not to be trusted, of course, I always wash my face before going to the show so this time it didn’t matter. I’m just thinking what a waste of time it would have been if I had already washed. Yes sir! “Self Defence” is most appro- priate. ov Castlegar Social Mrs. Reg Waite entertained on Thursday in honor of her hus- band’s birthday. Games, con- tests and dancing were enjoyed by the twenty-four present. The winners were: Mrs. Don Wal- lace, Mrs. Cecil Bradford, Pat Wapple, Glennie Jones and Mor- ris Waite.
