Another hot week in Kan-
sas. Temperatures ranging up
to the high 90's with heat
comfort indexes going much
higher than that. Hasn't been
real pleasant either up on our
garage roof getting it com-
pleted, according to my hus-
band. I know those who are
out there in the fields must
certainly be suffering too. Be
safe everybody!

with Darrell and Janice and
family.
It was heard through the

Rim Converse recently re-
ceived a letter from Eureva
Smith, which contained e brief
item of past history that in-
volved my folks, Carrol and
Laura Smith. Seems she re-
membered a trip to Eskridge
with my folks and her hus-
band to attend a 4th of July
celebration. As often hap-
pened back in those days, they
managed to get stuck on a,
muddy road {which must have
been the Bradford Road) on
the way back. Well, it was
night and no help in sight so
they just stuck it out till
morning when" Carrol and
Hubert could see to walk out
and get some help. Eureva
said Carrol and Laura had a
small baby with them and for
that time period it must have
been big sister Jan. You just
never know who you~l hear
about or from nowadays.
Rita Converse has been
able to return to her quilting
sessions recently plus she's
been able to get some garden-
ing done. She had the results
of some carpal tunnel surgery
to put up with for quite some
time but the hand and wrist,
while not yet at 100 percent,
seem to be doing quite well
now, she says.
Francis Essler was up for a
visit and helped with the
quilting at the Methodist
Church on Monday.
We want to send a get-well
wish to Marlene Hitffe who
recently received a nasty cut
in a home accident last Tues-
day. She will undergo correc-
tive surgery on her wrist on
Tuesday, the 9th, to make eve-
rything right.
This past Tuesday was
really hard on people's wrists.
Craig Tenbrink also sustained
an injury to his wrist in a
work-related task.
Rozetta Keim is feeling
much better now after recov-
ering from a bad reaction to
some prescribed medicine
given to her.
On a personal note, I'm
slowing getting over a bout
with a very sore throat
brought about by asthma and
allergies. I know this past
week has also been rough for
everyone suffering with these
respiratory maladies.
Also, wek, e had several
visitors stop by to see how the
garage and housework is pro-
gressing on our new home.
Those who've stopped in are
Bud and Avis Riggin, Lee
Ferdinand, John Fottts, and
Carolle and Ottis May.
Cold Cream is said to have
been invented about 150 CE by
the great Greek physician,
Galen.

at 7:00 in the morning, to try
and beat the heat. Chris Cox
also told the Club that he
would be sending out letters
with details about meeting
times to everyone in Rocketry.
After discussing who would

"Kiss the Pig" contest, JoAnn
Meyer was nominated. Elaine
Deiter was chosen to be the
back-up candidate. The Club
decided to change the date for
