Smyrna Lions
Given Report on
The Lindens'

Recognition was given Found
ers and Re-dedication Week at
the dinner meeting of the Smy-
rna Lions Club, Monday night
by Robert Dunning, who read
the Lions Code of Ethics, and
paid tribute to the foresight of
the men who founded Lionism.
He referred to President Ken
nedy's address and asked what
the Lions can do for the coun-
try, rather than what they can
get out of Lionism. There was
a discussion on the Youth Gen.
ter, the Lions local project, led
by Francis B. Gebhart, and in
formal discussion by the mem
bers. Norman G. Wilder, i'm

sion. He traced its link to the
past and its value to the com
munity. Henry T. Price said
that we owe it to future gen
erations to keep this link with
the past, and to help preserve
our heritage. 1t is especially
important for young people to
be aware of that heritage, he
said. Future plans might in
clude building a replica of the
orig ginal settlement at Duck
Creek, which would become a
tourist attraction, according to
the speaker. The need for as
slstance, both II ancia and
manual work was stressed by
MIR. Wilder. Robert Mills, pres

North Kenai

Fred and Vi House, longtime residents of Kenai, left Tues day. June 27, for Orovil1e, Cali fornia, where they have estab- lished residence. Fred and Vi trueked up the first sawmiI1 operated in this area, and for many years were located at the old saWmill road in Section 36, just outside of town. In 1853 they moved the mill to North Kenai where they were in oper- ation until ill health caused Vi to have to move to different climate. Their children began their schooling at the old build ing which later was used as the Civic Center prior to the construction of the new Civic League Building.
 Mrs. Petersen was the head (and sometimes the only) teach CT then; there were no roads outside of Kenai at all, and the House children either walked the beach or. if they were lucky, got a ride with some fisherman along the beach to town. The only ones living past them at that time were the Jack Lewis family. Two of their children, Charles and Cathy, are already in the States, but Harry will remain in Kenai for the time being. Another son, Harold, is living in Anchorage. Fred and Vi left with racks of caribou and moose. horns tied atop the car; quite a novelty in Oro- ville," they say.
