HanfOrd Visited
By Freak Storm

HANFORD, Cal. June 90 A
freak wind storm that did some
damage to valley orchards and to
farm outhouses swept through this
section late Thursday afternoon
following one of the hottest June
days of record in Kings county. The
thermometer reached. ITO in the
shade. The storm extended from
north of Fresno as far south as Bak-
crsfield, and on the west side Of
the valley blew with the force of
small sized tornado.
In Hanford, Lemoore. Corsican
and Stratford the wind damaged
shade trees, and blew up a, thick
dust. 1t lasted for more than an
hour and was followed by strange
calm. Later it revived and for half
an hour blew harder than ever. Old
timers here say that few times in
their recollection have such winds
blown in the summer months and
none were near SO fiercely.

FOXY GRANDPA'S STORIES
1t Wasn't a Lady in Distress.

1t was way IN in the Rocky noun
tainS that this happened, and as ] tell
you / can see the great snOw-capped
peaks shining in the sunlight, and
smell the bacon which | cooked that
cool morning for breakfast.
How would you like to have some
fish for dinner, Foxy Grandpa" ask
cd Bobby on that morning.
Fine ] answered, wiping off the
frying pan. Where do you think you
can catch somc?"
Right down in that stream" said
Bobby, pointing TO a mountain stream
which looked like a strip of silver
ribbon.
You'd better start now," said |;
that is further than it looks. Then
YOU will have a good mornings fish
ing"
So off down the mountain Bobby
started, with his trout rod under his
arm and a smile on his face which
did my heart good to see.
finished up the work around the
camp, and was just about to sit down
and take a smoke and a rest, when
Bunny came hopping up to me and
said:
Foxy Grandpa, I'm worried about
Bobby down there in that canyon all
by himself. You don't know what
might happen"
"You don't think it's safe, Bunny"
asked. Il don't believe there's
human being within so miles"
1T isn't the human beings I'm wor-
rying about" replied Bunny. but yoE
don't know what's stalking around
down there"

felt that way | was sure there was
reason for it, so ] said:

Perhaps we'd better go down there
ourselves, Bunny"
And off down the mountain we
started. 1t was quite a distance AMI
how we did slip and slide over the
loose gravel, which made regular to-
bOggan slide in many places.
We had al but reached the bottom
when up the steep grade came Bobby.
His little face was white as n sheet
and he could hardly speak for a mo.
ment. Finally, when he did get his
breath, he gaspcd:
Foxy Grandpa, there's a lady in
some awful trouble. Come down to
the stream. You can hear her cry
ing. l came to get you to find her
and help her."
Bunny gave me queer look and
frOwned until his forehead was all
wrinklcd up, when l said:
Lead the way, Bobby"
Down the rest of the mountain we
slid and when we reached the creek
Bobby took the lead.
We hadn't gone very far up the
stream when we all stopped at the
same moment. For We had heard the
most agonizing screams you could ever
imagine.
| hurried my footsteps and was as
founded when Bunny shouted:
Don't go near her, Foxy Grand.

And, as the crowning glory, serve the

I have included carrot salad in

fear that when n man Just hates
particular food in any form. il is
not much use to try to camOuflagc

consists merely of raw carrots served
on head lettuce with French dressing
or any other sort which one may pre-
fer. But much depends upon the way
in which the carrots are prepared.
They may be grated if one takes care
not to squeeze them and makes them
muShy and unattractivc. But they
look most appetizing when cut up into
strips about the size of small matches.
Here is one recipe in which raw
carrots are combined with other in
