is the frat time we ever saw hghtn-

time we ever ate beefSteak and brown
gravy in the dark in one of our local
food exchanges. Whereupon this oc-

Roy Shaw and mother, Mrs. Clar-
ence Shaw of Mccall are out for the
winter at the home of the correspon-
dent. As will be remembered, Mrs.
Shaw drove home for visit about
the time our rains first started and
just escaped being showed in up in
the Boise basin by driving all night
thru six inches of snow which was
falling heavier all the time. Mrs.
Shaw will remain now she thinks pos
sibly until spring gardening again
comes to occupy her time and atten-
ton in Long Valley. Roy will remain
out with his family for a month or
more on a prolonged visit to miss
most of the snow if possible.
Mrs. Phelan, mother Of our road
supervisor, was a Sunday guest to
dinner with Mrs. C. Shaw. The CORES

visit and hope that she will remember
to come again soon as she Is sure
fine company and we greatly enjoyed
her presence with US upon this brief
call.
One of the most tragic as well as
sad events which has transpired but |
recently in our community is the de-
mentia of our long time neighbor and |
friend Gus Amen. Gus has been ever |
a man with a soul and heart that res
ponded to every touch of misery that
his eyes saw or his ears heard, and
he has always done more than most,
self sacrificingly, and with
no thought but to help others more IN
need than himself. 1t has been too
bad that God has deemed that his
days must thus be spent in his declin
ing years. 1t is bitter, bitter catas-
trophe for him and his family, but
we are livirs with the hopes that Gus
will some time improve to his former
state Of health and hope that time
TO be soon As to his family, they reei
not worry for the neighbors will not
allow any one to suffer. We respond
and are ready to volunteer to help |
any way possible.
