Apears Busy Thawine Out
bv Anuar school


APGAR-It was too cold, Monday
morning to 60 for news-d0wn around
zero and there really isn't much
news. Everyone is too busy keeping
warm, getting cars started, thawing
out pipes and the like.
When we opened the school this
morning to ring the bell we saw
an eagle sailing above the creek. It
was the first one we'd seen this
year.
We felt sorry when we lost two
African violet plants because the
furnace went off during the night
and it was too cold for them. The
other two African violets were hurt
little.
PLANT is BUDDING
Our huge Christmas cactus plant
has several buds on it. Last year
it bloomed several months. The side
toward the window always blooms
so we keep turning it slowly.
Mrs. Walsh also has large Christ
mas cactus plant and it too. is full
of buds. They are lovely flowers but
if you touch the buds they fall off.
Says Gilbert, II saw 81 ducks and
an eagle when l went up the hill,
Sunday"
We sang Happy Birthday at
school, Monday, to Jackie Wash
burn, who was 10, Sunday. We will
sing to Wally Floren tomorrow Jack
lie went to Apgar two or three years.
) Wallace went to school in the first
/ grade and continued until he went
to junior high at Columbia Falls.
i Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Evens were

I'VE won't wait so long before We

i They aren't used to this cold anC
snow.
