RANDOM RARBLINGS OUT WASILLA WAY
By E. Hjellen

1 gregation is finishing the interi: or of their church. The walls are a bit lighter than peach in colol and they've mixed fine sanc with the paint so that it looks like kalsomine Cor calsimine- spellings are correct according tc Noah W) A rubber tile will be used on the flooring-except in the aisles-which will be cork There's a lot of work to be done yet before it's finished.
 On those eXtremly cold days, you can make any radiator fur nish more heat in less time, and get better circulation of the heat, if you turn on an electric fan about three or four feet in front of the radiator.
 Here's the answer to the "gunk" in the first column.
 Have you any eggs?
 Yes, we have eggs.
 Have you any ham?
 Yes, we have ham.
 OK, ham and eggs.
 To be in business for oneself is a very commendable goal. How ever, if one starts a business just so he may be his own boss-he is deluding himself. Every person who comes through your door of business is your boss. When people quit coming through that door-you're fired.

 Have heard very favorable comment about the Wasilla school lunches. That's quite a program they have there. Our children are assured a good, hot-Well balanc- ed noon meal-at minimum cost. Our taxes-and our neigh bors'-help pay for the actual cost. ua Senske really takes an in- terest in putting out an appealing lunch-and sees to it that our children eat the lunch, too-not just pick at it. The program could stand a greater show of confid- ence by the appearance of more children for lunch.

 My good woman tells me that I'd have to list half the popula- ton of Wasilla if I were to show names of those with humps. Twenty pupils were out of school at one period. Wouldn't it "tie" yah? Now they're getting the measles. Marie Betts is now on the 'homestretch" after being confined to her bed with pneu- monia. - You probably wouldn't choose .to-but the productivity of Amer jean workers has increased so much that, according to a recent study, if you were content to ac- cept the standard of living of 1870 you would have to work no more than five hours week.
 My wife and I went into the Elks in Palmer the other Tues day evening. We played a game that, I think, is called "Aw Shucks'. Ben Hudgins and Tom Lepak sit up in front and call off some numbers. After a few num- bers are called, someone yells what sounds like 'Ingo"-then the rest of the players groan, "Aw Shucks'-and then a new game is started. We had lot fun even came home with prizes.

 Had very pleasant visit with Miss Louise Potter. She took me through the Wasilla Library pointing out the vast work that volunteers. had been doing in the repairing, cataloguing and filing of books. Everybody did that work that they were the most familiar with. I learned that Mir. and Mrs. Peck, Rose Peck, Mrs. Kenneth Hurd, Mrs. J. P. Gisal- son, Mrs. Henry Hanson, Mrs. Harold Dinkle, Mrs. Jack Thatch- CT, Mrs. C. E. Henry, Mrs. John Mcdonald, Joyce Dinkel, Mrs. Tom Wyse, Mrs. Martin Olson, and Mrs. Mcdonald all put part of their free time on this work. MT. Henry Hanson built a mag azine rack and Mrs. Peck shell lacked it. Everybody enjoyed do- ing the work-so much so that when it was finished-they were sorry that they were done.
 
 Then there was the student who returned three books to the i- brary. The books were: Stop Forgetting!" Use Your Headp and 'How To Remember! They were three months overdue.

Is Your Name
LOHR?
DO YOU KNOW THAT:

LOHR, an old and honored sur
name, is principally of German
origin. 1t is Of rather uncertain
derivation, for a search Of mum
Der of the leading works ON nomen-
clature reveals only one direct
reference to it wherein it is stated
that j stems from the Latin
Laurentius" from which the name
Lawrence is obtained. The trans
formation is given as Laurentius-
to-Laur-to-LOHR. However, there
is also reason to believe that
LOHR is the equivalent of Lehr
which is a shortened form of the
German "lehren" meaning ito
teach;' and, in such connection, it
was bestowed upon those engaged
in such profession.
Among the patriots of Colonial
days were MICHAEL LOHR and
PETER LOHR who served as pri-
Yates in the Maryland and Virginia
troops during the Revolutionary
War.
