Show COMINS AND GOINS (Now a neighbor told me this) This poem was written by Mrs. Betsy S. Goodwin for celebration of Beathe ver in 1906. Mrs. Goodwin was a convert to the Church and came from Scotland. The poem appeared in the Feb. 16, 1906 edition of The Weekly , Press. JUBILEE FOLK'S OLD She got a worn out shoe bv Gin And read a novel through, And we got along fine With our open fires and our pitchy pine. We had no town clock then. We looked up to the sun. We had no school bells hang ing nigh, But then we had a drum. And when the case was urgent, He beat it with a will, PIECE But the drummer and drum When the old school house Have passed away, And we honor their memory Stood on the square, still. In a vacant lot, And not a shrub or tree to And of dramatic talent too, We had a goodly share, break. Some of the plays they then The suns rays then so hot.

The children went, When Maeser played the lover And in the winter hours, true Each one would bring a stick And Stoney played the of wood n mean, To help to build the fires. And Nichols was the funny Us Beaver folks man, Knew very well, Matches were not to be had, Life was then a pleasant dream To the neighbors we would Bro. John was a .soldier true, Sadie sweet so young and fair, have to go When e'er our fires went bad. Mrs. Stoney was true blue, And Billy, Mary and Laura To get a shovel were there. Full of coals, In wh,ich to light the flame, And when the holidays came round, And perhaps a greaser get, Bro. Robert was the man, From the good housewifely To fix the decorations up dame.

When the birch switch And then when the ladies Was the golden rule, races run, By which our schools wera Us big girls took the prize, taught, The use of this and the dunces Because our speed was just as great stood, Are the things that learning As our bodies were in size. When we met and our stories wrought. " told. Our teachers they were very All about our hardest knocks, strict, We thought them good and Then Grimshaw he wold up and tell, grand, How he had been the other ox. Yet for each misdemeanor, On the bench we had to stand, Of beaus and belles we had our share On Saturdays the teacher went As had the other towns, Around from door to door, To gather ' their tuition fee, Our young men in their cowhide boots, In squash and pork and flour. We didn't have beet sugar then And the girls in homespun gowns. But then we didn't care, No scented oil their locks For beet molasses and Johnny-cakadorned, Made quite a sumptuous fare. That shone in such a clutter, The shine on them was all There were no lamps With which to light put on The old school house so dim, By the generous use of butter. And so we used a tallow dip, No collars graced the young mens necks, Set in a' little tin. And when we couldn't get a As to the dance they hied, But if they had white blue dip, vil-lia- e, or red Handkerchiefs they'd used In- stead then, ot tune Of Yankee Doodle Doo. The day of reconing, Came next week, Pulling slivers, Out of feet. When recess came we all sat down, Too tired to heave a sigh, Then some good dame or dainty lass Would pass the cake and pie. Then dance dismissed by prayer, And blessings were implored, To guard us safely through the night, And see us safely home. We can talk about those good old days, That long have passed away, But the. Jubilee day, And the old folks day We hope have come to stay. Art Huntington Dies In California Art Huntington, 64, of Huntington Park, California died February 3, 1967.

Another Monument to Courage. We are all eternally grateful to those men and women who took up the challenge and went forth to battle for this longj - awajted, despafrately needed hospital. We are equally grateful to every man, woman and child who supported them in this worthy cause. Facing the uncertainties and g csts of today, brother, it took courage to climb that first mountain. As descendants of pioneer parents we have always been thankful for our rich heritage and the opportunity to build and develop it still further. The two dollars we are taxed each month is little indeed for the many blessings we will realize from having a hospital within our gates. Many times I have spent that much for a box of chocolates and it did not last a month either. A Valentine for the entire hospital personnel. In Doctor Henrie we find a very bril liant and promising youg doc tor. We are most fortunate in having him serving in our community. The staff of nurses are the nices group that one could ever expect to meet. Not only are they efficient, they are pleasant, agreeable and ever on the alert. What more could one ask? In my book they are 'TOPS!' And here is a special big red heart for the Pink Ladies, the Gray La and all dies, cooks, care-takeothers who are doing such a remarkable job there. This next valentine is so full of hearts they are spilling over. And may Heaven call us to account if ever we for get our grand old soldier in white, our own Dr. McQuarrie There are few in this commun ity who do not know of his many years of faithful service to this people. My thoughts go back to the dark days of World War II, when the Military was calling in so and nurses. many doctors Some towns were left with no help at all. Beaver was one of the more fortunate places. Our doctor was permitted to remain here with us. But it was not always so easy for those assigned to the home front. In many cases there were wide areas to cover. Each winter and spring there appeared to be more than the usual amount of sickness. flu, mump and Every germ measle brought along a cousin or two. There seemed to be a constant vigil of comings and goings, day and night. (As my little grandson says, "It was a blast.") In Beaver there was no hospital. Dr. McQuarrie earned his money the hard way. Every time there was an operation to perform or a baby was born, there were those long journeys to the hospital in Cedar, at least a hundred miles each day. It was no uncommon sight to see him flying down the highway and you wondered as he passed who was going to get there first, Dr. McQuarrie or Dr. Stork. With his great capacity of knowledge and understanding, his willingness to serve under any condition, many lives have been saved; much suffering abated and overcome. I am of the opinion that Dr. McQuarrie's place Is in the Beaver Valley Hospital. He still has a goodly number of useful years ahead of him. We need him there. He should be there. Let him experience that delightful feeling that comes to one who walks across the floor of his brand new home for which he has waited long. Of course, there are always two sides to a story. Perhaps he is perfectly content with his freedom. May he enjoy The every golden moment. mountains, lakes and streams are ever sweet and refreshing.
