ed on our persons in transit. We ar
rived however in good season for the
card game Of Rummie, Five Hundred,
Finch and others we never could un-
derstand. However a. we were not
very good at cards we tried to make
room for those who were the Sharks"
We saw enough to know that there
were hearts and Harris that could be
won, but whether Ray Modin or Frank
Wills ought to use diamonds or clubs
as trumps we couldn't figure out. 1t
did not take long to clear the decks
for action, however, and soon the
merry makers we're swinging round
and round. Many new faces were in
evidence at this eventful occasion;
people who have lived in our commun-
ity for many years, too, bnt who had
for the first time stepped out" in
years. The older folks, many of
whom had never danced for years,
joined in the merriment along with
the younger factions, and thus wore
on the evening. Earl Thomas and his
father furnished much of the even

appreciated; the rest furnished by
local talent and volunteers among the
dancers who offered their services so
generously. Those thus helping along
the evenings activities were Miss
Gray, Ed Holmes and Miss Ora Bell
Coonrod, Time slipped rapidly away
and into the past Elected many joyous
moments as the revelry was checked
near the parting hour when with a
generous plate luncheon served by
Mrs. Modin, and assisted by Mrs.
Gray and Nina Johnson, we bid the
old year reluctant farewell and ush- |
cred in the new with sandwiches, cake
pickles and coffee. Again the music
started and again the floor was fill
ed with flying figures doing the "cir-
Gle two-step" to Roy Modin's calling.
We wish to state Roy had been rather
absent up to this time, had just anteed
as the saying is until he drew good
hand, and calling circle happens to
be his long suit. At time when it
was the "wee sma" hours the guests
departed wishing the Modins many
happy, healthy and prosperous re-
,urns for the new year. All we have
@ say is it was "some time"
So we have been readjusting our
selves to conditions as they must be
net about as we are able. We don't
NOW how long the rest of you lay
n bed after a night out, but we felt
ike. "a hours would not be too much.
Nothing doing though when the
Sookies" begin bellering on the farm.
Kindly excuse us indefinitely until we
re back to normal and we will try
nd tell things straight as possible
or one of our sterling character. .

heir fangs into our daily existence,
