Show orit ESCALANTE CHIT CHAT By Fay Alvey The frost finally came putting an end to the more delicate members of the vegetable family, thus ending some of the work. It is time now to gather cattle and pick apples. Marion Woolsey is still just waiting for word to go to the Veteran's Hospital up North for his operation. Hode Alvey has decided the life of a crip- pie is not so good, Ila has kept him on KP (Keep Peeling) almost constantly; their two daughters, Theima Smith and two boys of Henrieville, and llene Coffman of Page have been here helping with the fruit and vegetables, working on shares, llene lost the key to her trailer' house and thought.' she may have sealed it up in one of the fruit jars Nelda Willis went to Salt Lake City to have leg surgery, of course Ivan took her up and they arranged it so they could take, in the Ice Follies. Others we heard of attending the Follies were the Gail Baileys and daughter Gloria; the Eldred Mitchells, the DeRay Porters, the Ray Griffins; the Theo Barkers; the Claron Griffins, the Wallace Roun-dys, and William Mitchell. Most of the Riding Club members also attended, Mel-ba and Gaden Gates, Arthur Mclnellys, and part of their family; Dale Lyman and part of the Alvey tribe. The Riding Club did right well at the State' Meet where seventy-five clubs competed: Dan el Alvey took the one . eighth mile; Arnold the three eighth mile; three Alveys and Emer-on Peterson the relay race; Arnold Alvey and Dale Lyman the wild cow milking, in all they walked off with eight trophys. Some wise guy hollered, "Why didn't you have a few more Alveys?" and Sariah hollered right back, "We got too old." Glade Itoundy and wife brought his parents, Wallace and Ella home and stayed for a vacation. These Riding club folks visited with Lon Heaps and found that his two sons and a son-in-law who were in some kind of a reserve unit all had to go into the Service October 15th. Shannon Partridge and Clark Moosman t ' brought Verna Partridge ' ,, here so that she and her twin sister Verda Griffin could eel- r ebrate their birthday annlv- r-. , ersary together. Roland Porter went to Salt Lake City on j y business pertaining to the school and Ann Spencer, I ' Karl's wife, took his school, ' the little boys thought she was right easy on the eyes. Mildred Gates, Rula Spencer and Louise Liston went to Cedar City to attend school meetings. Gwen Lyman went . to Pangultch to a school meeting and to take her daughter Evelyn to the doctor, Hazel Griffin took care of the cabins. While Sariah Alvey was North she attended the funeral services of Clarence Schurtz, son of Sopha and the late Karl Schurtz; he died of gun wounds received while working in Montana, and was brought to Salt Lake City foi burial. Ester Coleman of Boulder was here visiting members of her family; she and son Don took what she called "a trip around the World in three days"; they went to Price for a truck load of pigs and it rained, snowed, hailed and blowed until she thought they would never survive, but they did, and so did the pigs. The only child of Tony and Bobby Van Hemert is in the Cedar City hospital recovering from a freak accident; he barks to the name of McGoo and is two dogs long and half a dog high, he swallowed some fishing gear with three hooks. Bobby and Tony were both too upset to drive and McGoo had no license so they got Ruisel Dessieux, who is a geologist here with the Oil company, to take them to Pangultch, but the dog Doctor there had his implements stored so they went on to Cedar City. The doctor finally separated McGoo from the hooks but they had to leave him, they went back Monday to take flowers and hold his paw during visiting hours. LaVern Griffin came for the weekend and moved his family to Arizona, all except Eldon who chose to live with Grandpa Ernie Griffin and attend school here. There are some real bad colds in town; Doyle Cottam Is so hoarse he can hardly make Theima hear his orders, she is helping him haul silage. Lauwana Pratt is home from Grand Canyon where she spent the summer working. Wanda Moyes has been here visiting Alden and the children and attended the funeral services of Alean. Alden took her back to Henderson, Nevada where she has employment. Reeves and Laura Baker went to Salt Lake City to attend a family reunion of the (continued Inside) Hiitfliif tt "i -f-rri h - KSCALANTK children of the late Leslie George and. his very much alive wife LaVern; they were all there except Harold and several of the grandchildren. The group had dinner at the Doll House followed by a program; Mrs. George stood up without her cane which sho uses for balance in walking, and gave some of her readings for which she is noted, some of Homer's children gave musical numbers then the group went to the home of Dora Sfaud Vowell for visiting and 1 working on geneology. Wilm-er Baker did not make it to the reunion, he is holding down a job and attending school, he has been in the ROTC for three years and just recently earned the rank of first Lieutenant Brenda Shurtz, the small daughter of Hal and Janeal, received second degree burns last week when a jar of hot tomato juice broke throwing the liquid on her face and arm, they called the doctor, who told them to pack her in ice and bring her to the hospital where the burns were treated and bandaged and they brought her home. The doctor did not think it would leave scars. Janeal had planned to go to the Fair as Hal had to .attend meetings, in Salt Lake, and their daughter Vicky with her cousins Gloria Bailey and Nicky Griffin went to sing.
