Slim Hansen reports a crocus looming in front of her house. All the neighbors were after Otto Shaw's secret,last Sunday' morning when his yard seemed to have bloomed over night with three 25 foot maple trees. ^ However, it wasn't a secret" jjotion that did it. Otto was fortunate enough to be given the trees by his father, and he planted them about 10:30 Saturday night. Spring is also bringing us its usual hazards of mumps and measles. Steve and Russell Davis have come down with the mumps and their mother is waiting for the third youngster to pop out with them. This is the second family in the community to have been host -to the mumps. There are signs of measles, but nothing official on this yet. Just a warning, mothers! Welcome! Two new families have moved into our community this past week. The Melvin Stephenson family moved into the house next to the model home on Country Lane. They formerly lived on Richmond road in Mc- Henry. The Leslie W. Freckman family moved into their new home on Manor Lane! Welcome to both of you. We hope you will be very happy in your new homes.
