Former Resident In Sefious Straits Sorry we are to report that Mrs. Hildur Stohlgren who formerly resided in the Harry Berry home is in bad shape, both physically and financially. Three years ago, she had surgery on her left eye for cataracts and then suffered a stroke in 1962 which has left her partially crippled She was forced to spend all her savings for home caretakers and by January of this year, she had no reserve. With her advanced years (in the 80's), working is out of the question. She had one episode where she fell out of her chair and could not get up for 20 hours until a neighbor happened to drop in and gave assistance. She had to apply to the Welfare for financial aid. In June, she received a sum of money through a business transaction and paid up some long standing debts. The welfare got wind of it and out off her aid. She has also developed a cataract on the other eye but still writes with a firm and determined hand. This woman has plenty of courage. We know it would be so very beneficial if those who remember her would drop a line of encouragement. Her address is 7307 Pearlblossom Hwy., Littlerock, Calif.

Now, if they can just put out the rest of the flames which were still burning on Monday. Horrible to contemplate, isn't it? West Coast Hiatus Ends Tom Olsen and Don Hayes who left our shores two weeks ago, returned Sunday afternoon with at least one of them badly in need of a shave! The fellows travelled westward with a stop in Denver after those reported last week. On the return leg of their journey, they paused briefly at Lake Tahoe and then to Las Vegas. When queried as to their luck -- one replied, "Forget it!" That need no comment. Over all, it was a most refreshing and rewarding experience and should equip them for another year of toil.
