WEATHER IS
ACTING UP
Used to be when we heard
tornado or storm warnings, we
could just shrug them off and
go about our business. But the
past few weeks have shown us
that we aren’t immune to
them.
Subligna hasn’t recovered
from the damage of a storm
some six to eight weeks ago.
Trion sustained damages about
two weeks ago. getting the high
winds that damaged a house,
camper, garage, and uprooted
trees.
Sunday night, a tornado was
reportedly seen by several
Trionites, and Monday
morning it was learned that
there were a number of trees
uprooted in the area and that
at least one residence in the
Halls Valley community was
damaged, reportedly the home
of J D Fountain Also, reports
were that several chicken
houses in the Gore community
were damaged
Summerville suffered Hash
flooding Sunday night with
water in Bohannons’, Duff’s,
Goodyear. Dr Marlin Payne’s
offices and perhaps other
downtown businesses Almost
four inches of ram was re
ported in a three and-a-half
hour period.

The wind was gently blow
ing, and being unable to keep
my posters from blowing away,
I circulated among the groups
and children and gave them
out. It was fun seeing so many
old friends and meeting several
of my unknown readers. I
guess if 1 live to be a thousand
years old, I will never get over
the thrill of hearing someone
say, “I read your column” and
if they add, "I enjoy it." that is
an extra bonus of music to my
ears.
I am certainly no judge of
arts and crafts, but I do feel
that our area people have real
talent and that the show was
the first indication of its type
that our local talent needs
more encouragement and par
ticipants need to have help in
marketing their wares.
[here was some really ex
pert jewelry, lovely candles (1
have made some and know
what a job it is to do these),
fine paintings, lovely
needlework. A teenager did
many rag dolls and beautiful
stuffed animals. 1 was im
pressed with the billy goat and
the kangaroo with little baby
kangaroos in her pouch.
1 am sure should Sum Nelly
become an annual event, it
would be incentive for the
artists who displayed their
wares to work harder for next
year and an encouragement for
others to get busy and have
something for sale.

NEW ACQUAINTANCE
It was nice “meeting” two
month old Joshua Logan Heijl,
son of Becky and Joe of Bruns
wick, last week while they
were visiting Joshua’s proud
grandparents, Charles and Dot
Logan.
Joshua is a pretty baby and
looked so sweet asleep on his
tummy in an old fashioned
cradle one of the times I saw
him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Happy birthday to my
brother, Elgin, who passed
another milestone Saturday.
He seemed very pleased that I
made him a decorated birthday
cake, with his name in icing.

Dave colls this his wedding picture. He was best man when Jane and I were married, and a prouder boy you'll never see. I
He loved Jane from the first. He never thought of her as a stepmother.
Jane's zest far We, her merry ways, her love for God were happily contagious. The unhappy years we'd known faded. Soon
we were marching off to church with her os though it were our own idea.
Tomorrow Dave will be married, and I'll be his best mon. Hi and Susan are a fine couple. Jane and I don't worry about their
marriage. Their relationship has o depth that comes from o mutual love for God and Hi, Church. In the years ahead, the.r church
will be a bedrock of understanding and strength. I
The Church is the starting point for the happiness that every family needs.
