Hazel was not a boon to your
reporter (thank goodness). as she
was to all the major newspapers
and other media In fact, in
quiries were made into all parts of
our community, and no news.
Worry damage to any of our
homes was uncovered. An inter-
esting observation is that it is the
first time we heard joy expressed
over not having an large trees.
So, there is always some good in
every condition-nott that we'll re-
member this incident during next
summers sweltering heat.
One bit of damage Hazel did
which directly concerns us is that
she broke off a large limb, crash
ed it across the equipment shed
in our Recreation Area, and broke
through the roof. Thanks to
Messrs. Merle Smith, Meredith
Davidson, both of Broadwood
Manor, and Mr.. Frank Ecker of
Twinbrook, the limb was removed
and the holes patched shortly
after the accident took place. We
are grateful to these men for their
quick, efficient service.
While on the subject of our
Recreation Area, your columnist
has an apology to make. She has
mentioned Mrs. Gordon Rudd'S
telephone number three times in
connection with the Area. The
first time it was given correctly,
but the second and third times the
two middle figures were inadver-
tently transposed. Please mark
the correct number, 1852, down in
your little black book.
Perhaps the wrong number has
had something to do with the lack
of response to our columns call
for 81 per family to help the Area
Let us hope so. At any rate, you
will get another chance to con-
tribute, as arrangements are be-
ing made for each family to be
visited for this purpose.
We must admit that it is a bit
difficult to get enthusiastic about
this subject at the present time.
All we can suggest is that you
use your imagination and project
your self into the future. Also
remember the fable about the ant
and the grasshopper apologies to
Aesop) and next summer you
won't have to say, 81 wish we had
contributed our share last winter,
then we would be able to enjoy
our area now"
One very newsworthy event is
that Broadwood Manor has new
citizen, a baby girl, born Sunday
morning, at 5 am. She weighed
in at 7 pounds ID ounces. The
proud mother and dad are Mr.
and Mrs. James Donoghue, 1913
Grandin Avenue. A complete de-
scription and name will be passed
along, as soon as it is available.
Congratulations to the Dono-
ghueS!
We can also welcome two new
neighbors, the Wrights, Wallis
and Martha, now living at 1902
Grandin Avenue, formerly from
Pocatello, Ida. They are great
sportsmen martha, too, and
spend a great deal of time hunt
ing and fishing Another hobby
of Mr.. Wallis is finishing furni-
ture, at which he is quite adept.
We are all looking forward to get
ting to know the Wrights better.
