Tidbits by Evelyn Readers of Hatian Miller's col-1 umm have frequently read little verses by Olive Read. A person called me some time ago and asked who she is. I replied, "She is Mrs Harvey Reid, lives a few miles in the country, busy housewife and woman, yet she has time to assemble words into charming rhymes." These. little verses have paid off, for she was awarded first honorable mention by 'the Iowa Poetry Day Association; the certificate being signed by Gladys Pagel, Iowa poet laureate. A thank you note from Becky Jergenson adds, "We had nic in the mountains Memorial Day but snowdrifts were so bad we had to turn around and come back.

Was I ever glad! Mt. Evans has one of the highest paved highways in the world, but when you look out of the windows, there's a straight dropoff which doesn't look too inviting. Becky, who plans to visit here soon, is the oldest child of Mr. and Mrs Harold Jergenson and the family moved to a suburb of Denver, a couple of years ago. Other children in the family are Janet, Kent, Philip and Richard.

t'it follow up with another story, on, 1. the Merryman Merrymans, Mr at were Spirit Lake for some fishing and when they got back they were informed their son David that he and his wife had taken a cottage there and wanted them to be their guests. No one could refuse esuch an invitation to such a delightful place, so back went the senior Merrymans with their hosts and a fine week was enjoyed. Mr and Mrs James Merryman were also at the Okobojis at the same time. A letter from my cousin vin' Henderson, Upland, says part, "May 5 we celebrated our silver wedding anniversary.

Can you imagine that? The trip east has run into a status-quo at the moment.

PRIVATE "Oh, dear, I kept him waiting until Mr. Bigby cooled but now HE'S angry about being kept waiting!" fore spending any moncy. Weather as you know has broken all records for heat and dryness." A card from Mrs Sarah Smith came from Lockport, where she has been visiting since carly May with her daughter and fam- of ily. A little story about the father of a well known business man here, but I won't mention names. The father is in hospital and recently the minister called and if a 'word of prayer may be said.

This old gentleman, usually sunny, must have felt a little crotchety that day for he answered, all right, if you think it will do any good." We don't have Whistler's mother over here at Good Samaritan but we do have Whistler Himself, a mild old man past 83 who whistles by the hour, not loudly, nor tunefully to be truthful. It reminds me of the song "Johnny One Note." This is not meant unkindly. I've never been particularly interested in stamp collections but when Lucille Crose Anderzen writes to me about hers and the activities connected therewith, I'd like to see it and others she mentioned. Even more of interest: to me was her mention of the International Pancake House where 30 different kinds are served. She says they are even better than she can make, but I don't believe it.

I'll take a chance on her cookery every time. And imagine six different kinds of syrup. Um-m-m Ever see a sweet pea tree? Well I did. It is in the yard west adjoining the Jim Burns place on Fair street. It is beautiful.

Ha; purple blossoms, and best of all. blooms more than once in the season. I thought the magnolia trees and tulip trees at Davenport were pretty, but in a contest. I'd vote for the sweet pea tree. Years ago I knew a child, nor Cole, nicce of Mattic Thorpe.

A little blonde with big blue eyes. I am' aware how the years have fled when I am told about her present status, a mother of a son and three other children ranging down to five. She and the 17 year old son and little girl, 5, have been visiting the Thorpes and other relatives. Mattie says Eleanor is just as attractive a matron as she was child. Well, tempus sure does fugit.

Abner Long had written friende he and his son Jack of Cedar Rapids would be up for Memorial Day. Then a message followed that his son-in-law. and daughter, Carson and Arba Dee Taylor would be in Davenport Juno 1 from Phoenix, where they moved a few years ago. Both will be well remembered here as made their home here a few years. and of course Arba Dee is "old settler" having been born and raised here.

They have written to Wes and Mary Bartlett and Bob and Holen Dewel that they will be in Algona June 9 and 10. Just now A crash, a an's scream. Breathe easy. No one was hurt. It was one of the workmen putting up the water pipes for the sprinkling system for fire prevention.

The latter skidded but no damage reported to pipes, men or nurses! Nellie Van Allen retired May I after thirty years with the Christensen store and is now going on a vacation. She is going to Burbank June 7 for a visit of two months with her. son-in-law and daughter, Lloyd and Evelyn Keith and family. Of course she will see her nephew Jack Allen, too. He has been teaching at Sherman Oaks.

It seems to me more peopla come back to the old home town for Memorial Day than any other holiday. For one thing the weather is nicer, driving conditions fine, and sentiment plays a good portion of the urge to see friends and relatives. Among the many who came for the holi, day were these whom I know well: Mr and Mrs Frank Thorpe, Ames, Mr and Mrs Russell Lars son, Decorah, Mrs Mildred Schenck Harringron, Minneapolis, Alr and Mrs Louis Kresensky Johnson Nelson Nuptials May 31, Bancroft Church Arlyce Leone Johnson became the bride of -Dwayne Arnold son in a ceremony Sunday afternoon.
