bY Apaar school


Study Group met at Apgar school
Mrs. Montgomery again gave tn
articles for discussion. One articl
was about the moral force of tn
United Nations, "Moral Power TO
Peace" another on personality ant
third on shows (for children).
Hostesses were Leona Boies ant
Mrs. Brownback. We all enjoyed
the sandwiches, pickles and coffee
At the study group the conver
sation turned to bears. "You WoulC
never believe it," said Mrs. GriSt
'but Margaret and Jimmy had /;
barrel with a board across it tina
they used as a teeter-to and
saw bear walk up the board anC
then he sat down on the barrel"
"Well, said Mrs. Price, "bear.
are supposed to hibernate wher
snow comes, but once up at the
camp when it had showed and big
icicles had formed from the cave:
of the house, l saw some bears ano
they had rolled in the snow until
they were just covered and all you
could see was their eyes. 1 saw
them go up and take hold of the
big icicles with their arms and
break them off. They would sort
of clasp them against their chest
and try to hang on to them but
the icicle would slide down their
chest to the ground"
NEW NEIGHBORS
We have new neighbors, Mr.. and
Mrs. McCloud, from Othello, Wash
Mr.. McCloud is doing survey work
in the park.
"Now this week we have por-
cupine chewing on our house and
last night, Daddy chased him off, .
says Dorothy Montgomery.
Reported Margaret Ann, "The
lake was blue grey and the noun
tains were clouded over. The sal
mon spawn is now on and there
were many salmon in the creek
Writes Flora, 81 had a party
Oct. II. The school children and
Mrs. Harrington were invited. Mr.
and Mrs. Walker and the boys
came too. We had a wonderful
time playing games, then we ate
and 1 opened my presents. After
that, we had a game of baseball
and the kids went home"
NICK GOES TO CHILE
DR.. and Mrs. Dodge still come
up to their Apgar cabin for week
ends. The bears bother some, and
there is no little wire haired terrier
to chase them away. DR.. and Mrs.
Dodge were afraid Nick would
chase the deer so they sold him.
The people who bought him went
to Chile, South America, so Nick
may be chasing bear-like animals
down there. 1t would be fun to
know.
Bengstons live down in the big
house across from the cafe, near
the lake. Wrote Mrs. Bengston,
''the lake and mountains are beau
tiful this time of year. The fresh
snow on the mountains makes a
different picture for fall. enjoy
going to the lake at every opport-
tunity l have, for every day the
lake is different"
Mrs. Harrington entertained her
bridge club Tuesday evening. Mrs.
D. L. Greenwalt was guest of the
club.
Flora was quite excited. ga pic
ture of my horse, Babe, was in the
Inter Lake. Babe is going on a
hunting trip with Glen Miksell
and Marvie. They left Sunday.
Babe is brown and black and she
is a wonderful horse. One time
when 1 was galloping on Babe she
ran away with me and l had a
hard time stopping her."
"There was a big owl sitting IN
a tree and our cat was on the
ground. Every time our cat made
a move the owl would watch. We
think the owl wanted to get our
cat," says Beverlie.
Supt. Fulton stopped at the
school last week and he watched
us do a square dance. 1t was our
hardest one. Most of our dances
are mixers and even the first grad
ers try them.
ROSES STILL BLOOM
"We have had bouquets of roses
at our school. They came from
Bill Mackin's rose bushes. Today l
brought one to the teacher so she
could wear it on her DRESS" wrote
Darlene.
We are rather surprised that we
have roses now because we have
had some cold nights. A couple of
mornings everything has been
white with frost. Bill Mackin lives
right by the lake, so that may be
why the roses didn't freeze.
