and timely talks with Gilman
Wang as master of ceremonies;
eight lucky persons received $500
bills; all then enjoyed the pony
show and a ball game and fin
ished off the days events with
a dance in the hall at night.
Many Cartwright folks ming
led in the crowd greeting friends
met through the years. All who
registered who had spent at least
80 years here UP to SIS years (and
some longer) wore ribbons of
color showing number of years
since arrival. Also many pur-
chased buttons - souvenirs bear
ing the picture of Chip Monson
and declaring the Alexander
Golden Jubilee" Chips picture
was used as he was the donor
of the beef for the barbecue.
Chip, now an Alexander resident,
spent most of his life on a ranch
in rural Alexander. Thus the day
was designated "Chip Monson
Day." Your writer just came into

friends met that long ago. The
weather was ideal and everyone
