Sl'IXIVAN TRI-COUNTY NEWS. Franklin smn. Mn. Roy Summers and family had spent weekend tt the Ed Coffman home. 1 'I deep snow the school bus had difficulty in pulling the hill.

One evening the bus was snow-bound for two hours simply because it could not pull this hill, There are hills of comparable steepness on Highway and the bus had no problem there. Another problem faced by residents along the road is the dust. It is practically Impossible to enjoy sitting in the front yard or even have the front door or windows open. It takes only a day, even after a hard rain, for the road to dry up and the dust clouds form When the rain comes the road becomes muddy and slick. Ruts form and chuck holes get larger.

The rain has caused a deep ravine along the Woodcock hill and at that part of the road it has narrowed to the point that this hill could be fatal. Traffic on the road is a great number each day as manyof the families are in need of the road to reach town or work. Since this road is often used as a cut tlirough toward Beaufort, Spring Bluff and thatarea. It plays even a great role in the need for the road to be paved or at least graded to the point that it is a decent road and not a subject of constant complaint and disgust. 1 a' July 22.

We talked to Aunt Maude Brown and she told us her son Rollin and children were out Sunday to visit Aunt Maude, also said she made six Jars of blackberry Jelly which is pretty good for a lady her age. She was down at the farm helping Anne string and snap beans all day last week. She Is still very good at that. She Jokingly refers to it as one of her many talents. Monday afternoon we drove over the Pete Hulseys to deliver two of the bird dog puppies.

So our count is down to four, dogs. The children will be. lost without the army of dogswe have enjoyed for so long. Friday we drove over Hwy and could not help but note that the road had Just been blacktopped. It Is certainly a pleasure drive a county road that is smooth withoutruts chuck holes and rocks.

However as the blacktop epded we drove on the graded surface with a bump and from there on, rough, rutty, chuck holes, rocks. It has been a month since the grader appeared and already we are experiencing the poor condition of this road. As oneturns onto the highway at Kovac's there are holes inches deep. On the hill by Virgil Woodcock's the road Is washed, and rocks protrude to the point the car receives a shaking and passengers are Jolted. Last winter when we had the on the bank to do some fishing and Carl spotted copperhead curled up laying about a foot from Doug, who turned white, but sat it out until Carl hacked It to death.

Dorothy and Bob Jean and son Paul were out from Florissant for the weekend to visit Esther and Curt Schlafer at their cabin near Leasburg. They stopped by the farm to visit, and reap some of the harvest of the garden. Our garden Is really producing with more than we could ever eat Bl ickberries are in season and they are very plentiful this year and very large.

Carcla became sick Friday with an upset stomach. It left her very weak but by Sunday she was feeling much better. Monday morning brought a most needed rain in the area. It hasn't failed in months that when Charles Anderson has his day off, itrainsbeforethedayls through. We hope this continues until the summer ends.

We succeeded in giving Cleo and five puppies to the Gables. Nephew Bob Anderson thought we may be lonesome, so he brought out a Beagle hound to keep the dog count at six instead of 12. (Our lossinGables' gain). Betty and William Rapp finally got their phone put in after a three month wait. We all missed talking to Betty on the phone.

She is busy canning and William is on vacation. They had the steps poured at their new home lately. We saw Betty buying dill in town, so we know that they'll have dill pickles this winter. The William Koenigs are on vacation to Indianapolis to visit their son Bill. If the people in the area have news, please do not hesitate to call me at W'A 7-2328.
