Former Stella Teachers Have Interesting Story Oi Conditions in Alaska STELLA (Special) Mr. and Mrs. Fred Pope and sons, David, Larry and Scott of Kenai, Alaska are visiting here after an absence of a year from their home in the Ozarks. In early July last year they purchased a new trailer hruse and pickup truck, loaded their belongings and began that long trip overland to Kenai, where both Mr.

and Pope were to teach the coming year. The trip was a very pleasant one and educational for the boys, since they arc at the right age to love travel and adventure. Soon after they arrived at their new home the boys secured a paper route, which was only natural fcr them since they were former carrier boys for the Neosho Daily while living at Stella. Their papers sold for 15 cents each, which at first seemed like an awful price but considering the price of other necessities of living was a moderate or fair price. From the start the boys began saving their money for a vacation trip back to Stella and the Ozarks.

They were able when that time came to buy a round trip ticket by air for bc.th boys which was S200.00 each. No one is enjoying their vacation more than David and Larry who are about 10 and 11 years old. Mrs. Pope and the boys arrived by plane earlier this month and Mrs. Pope is enrolled at S.

M. S. Springfield for the summer term. Mr. Pope recently sold the pickup they made the trip to Kenai with, Hew to New York and some where en-route here he purchased a new car.

They were calling on friends and former neighbors in Stella Sunday and dined at Stella Cafe. Both are former otachers of Stel la school where Mrs, Pope taught in the grades and Mr. Pope, agricultural instructor. Mrs. Pope says they are still living in the trailer house, to which they have buUt a lean-to, a smalt room for storage of articles that freezing weather doesn't harm.

She said they buy fc.od and other provisions in large lots $300.00 one time and $500.00 another. Storing that large amount in a occupied by 5 persons isn't at all easy. They will return after their vacation and schooling to Kenai where they will again teach and the boys will sell papers. OAK W00 Parents Visit Sons In Aurora Wednesday Mr. and Mrs.
