TFag* Twenty-Two McCullom Lake ALASKA VISITORS GET REAL TASTE OJF LIVING IN RAW A Eve Levesque Those intrepid and hardy VQUng men. Lee Larson, Jr.. laid Richard (Dick* Osterby. who journeyed to Alaska in February" had a taste of real pioneer living for two weeks. They returned to civilization which they saw NO human being for 14 days! After checking their gear 6n Saturday, April 9 after a Sojourn in the wilderness in into the cabin, they set out for wolves which was their purpose of their trek. On the way into the valley by plane (Cessna 175 on skis); the pilot and the two fellows sighted ten moose. The pilot landed on the frozen river; the men unloaded, and the plane took off with the promise to return in* two weeks; Average temperature in the cabin was 50 degrees while the o u t s i d e t e m p e r a t u r e r a n g e d from a high of 35 above to 25 degrees below zero. Dick and Lee kept warm in their cabin toy utilizing sleeping bags. They had to melt snow for washing, dishes, cooking and making coffee. At times, their quarters became so cold that even the eggs froze solid. They kept their fresh meat buried deep in the snow outside to keep frozen and to protect from wild animals. The i.tr^ stalked their game j on snows hoes which proved to 1 be so rugged that at times, their feet were ripped to ; shreds. They saw many wolf ' tracks but at no time were : they close enough to shoot. They also saw a Dall sheep j ram with full curl horns and • his four ewes. One of the ewes j fell to their "shooting iron" ; and provided sustenance for j the hunters. Other game sighted were birds, eagles, fox, car- ' ibou lv«x, and they managed to "bag" grouse, rabbits, and : caught a porcupine to be used j for bait. Th*»y had wolf traps j set at various -distances from the cabin. . During the fortnight, they spent a great deal of time outdoors and admitted the scenery was beautiful and that the country was wild, wild, and BIG, BIG!! Came the day of their departure and they were ready at noon for their plane's ret u r n . A f t e r w a i t i n g t h r e e hours, becoming more anxious= by the minute, a plane circled but was not the right one. The plane ?ircl^#illo\^ind (fWftped ft note asking if Lee and Dick heeded help. They wrote NO in the snow and settled down to wait for the right one. Two hours later, their pilot circled low, landed, and they prepared to take off. Because of the THE McHENRY PUUNDEALER Thursday. April 21. 19t}J wdnninj; temperatures, the skis stuck in the snow. After considerable rocking, they loosened and the return to civilization was begun. A fast trip through the wild country brought them back to civilization and the accompanying hubbub. Monday morning saw Dick and Lee "pounding the pavement" on a job hunting spree. For these details, you will have to "wait and see". The families of the two lads. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Osterby and Mr. and Mrs. Lee Larson, Sr.. are rejoicing that the lads can enjoy this experience. Incidentally, they should make wonderful husbands since they are adept at household,- chores, cleaning AND baling! / -----' Kiddies Delighted With Egg Hunt Saturday, April 18; proved a delightful day with clearing skies when the time for the Easter party approached. Some 150. youngsters -- ranging in age from 18 months to 12 years, lined up for the annual event. Beautiful prizes were award- I ed to winners Shelley Monet te. j Carol Irigersol.

The rest of the boys and girls were allowed to keep all eggs found and were awarded consolation gifts, > as well! All prizes (and there were hundreds to choose from) were donated by wonderful citizens -- Madeline and Sam Nathanson! This was far and away the most successful venture of its k;nd and for that we must say "hats off" to Ed Hammerstein and his helpful Louise. They were grateful for the services of adults Betty Poledna, Abby Berry, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Zody, Bob Fernandez, Bill Walter and Theresa Schultz. Young people who assisted were Charlie Gibson. Charles and "Tiny" Tomasello. Kathy Murray and Lynne Schultz. The response for eggs was fabulous!! with 75 dozen donated and 60 dozen distrib- | uted. The remaining 15 dozen j eggs were sent home to kiddies j who were ill and to some o£ j our adult population which was | indisposed or bed-ridden. Nice thought, huh?

April 12.'in pre- ' cinct one which encompasses ; the village, Ringwood, and I some surrounding territory. This proved to be slightly more than 50 per cent of the total registered voters. Fine turn- t out considering. o<her areas,! his ",v>Mtion of Republican pre cinct committeeman with 129 •votes to 88 for opposition Sigurd Jacobsen of Ringwood. On ihe Democratic ballot, for committeeman Theresa Schultz picked up 70 votes with only 8 ior contestant Wilbert Hecht. There were spoiled for him. Too bad.
