Maggie Owen Wadelton is one of those who find a modest gold mine in their girlhood diaries, her Maggie, No Doubt" being the second book she has so far dredged up. It is the remarkable story of a very Irish girl on aer first visit to these shores, her 13-year-old love affairs" her so- journ in the "Prespaterian" hos- pital, and lot of things besides.
 As a matter of fact, it takes Maggie through one brief mar riage, and lands her in the arms of her present husband, who is Col, Thomas Wadelton, USA, re- tired.
 It is a beautiful job of recrest- ing the young mind of a young girl, nostalgia but still salty. And to make it all more interesting, Maggie Owen Is the mother of 17-year-old Tommy Wadelton who has done three books to date on his own.

 Mrs Hammar and John Litch- enberg were up on a visit this Summer. Frank Johanson, a friend of Charley's who he had not seen for 25 years and a John Berglund had a real good visit together.
 We have had wonderful year, the best garden we ever had. We don't have to worry too much about points, we kill ed a veal and one pig. Have our own milk and eggs and most of our garden. The sugar and cof- fee we felt the worst, but if this war keeps on we we will soon miss lots more things. It is hard now to get enough building ma terial and electric wire and hardware.
 Hope you and your family are well. Wishing you Merry Christmas.

Aug. 2Oth. l943 Dear Mayor:
 Some time ago my husband was chopping down trees on the hillside where we live and he found an Ivory Lodge hammer. The hammer is very old and I believe it had a gold plate on the back covering the code or what ever that is there.
 I haven't any way of finding out who,it belongs to and won dered if you could give me any information for I am sure it is valuable to the owner.
 If you could give me any in formation about it and the own CT gives a reward for the return of it I shall be glad to repay you.
 Sincerely.
