New Faces in Congress
AspinaII, House Member From Colorado,
Has Been Runcher, Educator and Luwver

Representative Wayne N. Aspin-
all of the 4th Colorado district is
one of the numerous new men,
bers of Congress who have stepped
into legislative work from private
law practice. In addition, however,
he can look back on a career as an
educator.
Mr.. Aspinan's father was one of
the pioneers of the Colorado peach
growing industry. Young Wayne
worked with him on the family
ranch after the Aspinalls had
moved from Middleburg, Ohio,
where he was born.
When the United States entered
World War I, the younger Mr..
ASpinall was a prelegal student at
the University of Denver, in his
junior year. He left college to
enlist in the Army and was assigned
to the Air Service Of the Signal
Corps.

At the time Of the armistice, he
was a flying cadet. He returned
to peach-growing but, in 1919, re-
ceived the opportunity of filling in
as a substitute teacher in the school
he attended as boy. He taught
social science but maintained his
interest in peaches and bought his
own ranch. In 1922. he decided
to dispose of it. The money paid
for his course at Denver Law School,
which he completed in 1925.
Mr.. Aspinall then combined teach
ing. law practice and growing
for a number of years. He gave
up legal work for time, but opened
his own Office in 1881 in Palisade,
Colo, and maintained a practice
there until his election to Con-
gress.
He defeated the incumbent Re-
publican, Robert F. Rockwell. in
the election.
He did not come to the House
unequiped for legislative work. From
1880 to 1898, he served as Repre-
sentative in the State Legislature.
Thereafter, until his election to
Congress, he was a member of the
State Senate. While in the Legisla-
ture, he held, at various times, the
posts of Democratic whip of the
House and Senate, Speaker Of the
House and Minority Leader and

The front panel at the top of the

of myrtle wood. This panel forms
the front of a shallow case for stor-

The bottom of the case is a piece
of iron bark wood, which was
brought from Guam in the bottom
of an ammunition case, and the top
is a piece of gum wood. There is
also a piece of rare wood which was
brought back from Siam by a for

When the figures were added up
at the end of December, she found
that from November, 1947, until
that time, 4,334 books, of which 877
were for adults and 3,457 classed
as juvenile, were circulated. That's
a lot of books yet it doesn't tell ali
the story because there is no way
of knowing how many read each
book when it was "out."
In many instances Miss Walton
had been told that each book was
read by every pupil in the class
room or school before it was re-
turned. And, of course, the same for
those circulated to the adults. There
are more than 1900 registered bor-
rowers who use the headquarters

from all over the state are being
invited to send or bring some of
their handiwork. These articles may
be of leather, wood, metal, shells,
fibers, plastics, OF whatever ma
terial lends itself to this type of
work. These articles must be in the
hands of the fair board by Feb. II
so that when you come to the fair
the displays will all be arranged.
One of the exhibits that you will
be especially happy to see is the
ceremic work of Bob Keisling of
Havre. Bob is q veteran of World
war 2, who is the success he always
was destined to be, but his success
is different from what anyone an
ticipated in his high school days.
AS a high school student, he showed
a great deal of talent in his water
color and oil paintings.
Bob lost his eyesight and part of
hand during the war. Since that
time he has had a versatile and in
teresting life, for he has established
a home, built a business, become a
civic leader and developed his tai
ents in ceramic ware.
The lady at the loom is Mrs. John
Blankenhorn of Bozeman, one of
several weavers in this community.
Mrs. Blankenhorn is especially for
tunate, as she has several looms, all
of which have been made by her
husband. Her pride and joy" is the
new 42-inch, 8-harness loom which
her husband made last summer. The
greater part of the 252 pieces OF
wood in the loom are Oregon myrtle.
