ART SHOW Mrs. Shirley Wadzeck drove to Grand Junction to pick up one of her Cow Camp Originals, "Pardners" which she is planning to exhibit in the Intermountain Art Show at Salt Lake City this week. She t will exhibit about four pieces, and will be in the capital city all week. I rode over to GJ with her, as the Cow Camp Original was at the apartment of Bill Propes, of Nuclear Assurance Corporation, who is laid up with an operation on his knee. The company is putting in a main office in Grand Junction, which will employ 17 people when it is fully staffed. HELP! I need help. Surely there is some housewife in this whole town who can spare me a couple of hours once or twice a month to keep me from living like 1 am now. If I could get the rugs thoroughly vacuumed, the kitchen floor mopped and waxed and the dusting done from time to time, I could make it. Then once a year or so, the whole place needs slus"hing out. My knees simply won't hold me up long enough to do this. Money is not all that plentiful around here and I know this will cost me about $2.50 an hour-s'o plan to work fast. Please rally round, some Good Neighbor. ENTERS REST HOME Bob Gillies suffered a bad spell a week or so ago, and spent some time at the Moab Hospital.
