Show Escalante ChitCha BY FAY ALVEY The weather was so decent all weekend everyone was practically shocked but we still have no moisture. The sick are improving; Allen Pollock and Gerald Barney are home from the Panguitch hospital; Allen looks good and apparently is almost his old self, Gerald is still confined to his bed but had been instructed to get a contraption hanging from above so he can exercise. Blake Robinson made it home in time for his dearly beloved horse races but was not permitted to attend, he is to bo entirely inactive for some time. They had Mrs. Mont Heap and boys here for the weekend, Mont has been here training horses for some time. A letter from the Bakers in Salt Lake reports Reeves greatly improved, he is gaining some strength by walking with the help of a walker. May 3rd he was scheduled to leave the hospital and go to a nursing home for two or three weeks. Laura spent some time In the hospital for therapy, she was on the 2nd floor and Reeves the third so every day she started her wheel chair in his direction to visit awhile, someone always showed up to help her when needed, for which she and Reeves are very grateful. They feel that the man upstairs is watching over them helping them to get the things they need, and of course It Is always through some kind person here on earth, and they do appreciate everyone. Dlanne Alvey took their son Dale to Panguitch to havo some lead removed from Just befaw hli eve, some other youngster jabbed him with a pencil and the lead broke off but it did not Injure his eye. Harvey LIston finally had to take that toe to the hospital In Panguitch, he is still there enjoying a rest and a vegetable diet, he Is trying to trade his deep freeze filled with meat to Doyle Cottam for a load of lettuce. Evadean said he had something like alkali in his blood. May 1st was the 83rd birthday anniversary of Wallace Roundy and he too irrigated, he also had a very different and enjoyable experience; his grandson Ferrell G. Roundy of Taft, California flew in with a friend Glen Loyd who owns and pilots a small plane, a man called Basil was with them. They arrived at our airport a-bout 10:30 a.m. where Wallace was waiting and they took him to get a bird's eye view of the whole area where he used to run cattle, the fifty mile mountain, his old cabin and all the area. They spent several hours In the air then came here for lunch at the Smith Alvey home before leaving for the return trip to California. The Frank Imlayt had an overnight visit from son Glen and Coleen and daughtor Frankie Lou, of course they visited at the Daniel Cowles home. The Imlays got word that granddaughter Kathy had exchanged vows with Nell Reed Hlse of Albuquerque, New Mexico where they will make their home. Other visitors at the to-lay home were Amelia Smith of Panguitch and son Bob of Ogden, Lizzie Baugh, Oven and Lucy Shakespear, Laurel Barton, his son Cliff and Cliff's Intended, Linda Hermasen from the middle of the county. Dale and Lillian Lyman took son Troy to Salt Lake City to the Children's Hospital where he had surgery removing the wires which were put to hold hlj bones together when he (continued ESCALANTE (continued from front page) had the last operation; while he was still out he was put in the room with a patient being watched over by Marion Shurtz and she recognized him, when he came to they had a good visit. His doctor says he should be all right now, completely cured. Helen Shurtz brought to my attention a very odd but rather interesting situation involving asparagus lovers both local and imported. It seems that asparagus is being abducted to ' the satisfaction of some and the consternation of others. Jim Haws of Orderville was here on telephone business. Orson Spencer is visiting at the Thurman Spencer Ranch. LaVar and Thora Munson of St. George were here for the weekend. Marlyn Shurtz was home for the weekend with Tom Jackson of Ely, Nevada. The McKay Bailey home had weekend visitors; Russel and Sharon Hawks and five youngsters of Circleville, of course they attended the races. Sharon and LaFaye were room mates while attending school in Salt Lake City. Shona Woolsey and new ba- by are here at the Vernon Griffins, Caroline and Calvin Eyre of Richfield were also here. Ray L. Alvey and family from Roy were here and had some friends with horses. Alfred Chl-ono took Bonnie to Panguitch for her checkup. Rol Porter had school meetings in Tropic. Vicki Nelson and daughter were here at the Hal Shurtz home. Dale and Susan Shurtz drove to Salt Lake City for a change, wanted to see how the road looked when they were on it instead of looking down. The Stanley Stowes had their son christened Sunday in the North ward. Vard Coombs came from California and brought his bride to meet his folks here and in Boulder. The race meet was quite successful but three days was too long for some who did not get tosee the races. Just the makings of a hamburger. The most amusing thing about those races were the names of the horses, the next in line were the people. The Seniors used their heads and put on a Western dance with appropriate decorations and the Sundowners furnishing the music. Some men feel so efficient and twice as big as life, they will tackle anything if backed by a dutiful wife. |
