McHENEY PLA1NDEU.EE / v jciaaS PISTAKEE HIGHLANDS By: Wanda Dobeckl and, Dolly Novotny . k Twnorrow is officially the first day of summer and we are all (enjoying the warm (though moist) summer days. We hope you are all enjoying the picnics, hikes, swimming and fishing as well as the mosquitoes crabgrass, ants and sunburn. "Summer is lots of fun for all but let's remember to mix a little summer safety with our summer fun. Things Hfce swimming, fishing and boating can also kbe very dangerous. So please be careful.

You can leave any material'ygtit want £ito donate at the community. center and it will be much Appreciated. Roads It seems the roads in the Highlands ape like the weather . . . every one complains about them but no one does anything about them. As you know, the main road will eventually be black topped and taken over by the county. I Many meetings and negotiations by our officers have been necesr sary to bring this agreement about. But the side roads are our own problem. We have enough oil to oil a good many roads but now a trailer is^needed to mount the oil drums/'for sprinkling the roads. If that is secured, then we will need helpers to spread the oil. But now if any one has, or knows of, a ! trailer that can be donated to the community for this purpose, please call Jim Bures, 539-J-2, so we can finally do something about the roads as well as we can complain about them. Remember, be on the lookout for any trailer that is in usuable condition and be on hand when volunteers are needed. walking? Well, if you did it was Mrs. Haefliger walking in th^ clouds last week before leaving for Hawaii. She was very disappointed when her son didn't make it home for Mother's day, even though he called from Hawaii. So last week she received a letter1 from him and in it was a ticket for Hawaii, of all things! While floating on the clouds, she was able; to pack and board the first plane for the island and now probably is sitting on the beach listening to guitars, or more likely, shopping for souvenirs. Have a nice visit with your son, Blancfc, and hurry home and tell us all about it. Newcomers'"' A .special welcome from all of us to these newcomers , to our community: Richard and Dorothy Orlowski, Adam and Georgia Rzechula, Mr. and Mrs. Hansen, Mr. and Mrs. Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Maiek and Mr. and Mrs. Zych.
