Did you see the nice picture and article about the old Lutheran Church at Robinhood in the winter issue of Westworld? An historical piece of architecture, still with us.
Last week I missed mentioning the International String Band is under the direction of Erin Foreman, violin teacher in the Battlefords.

This was one of the problems following the cold storms that have been crossing the eastern States.

We made one trip down south to see if conditions and weather were as great as those who go regularly claim it to be. Well our biggest disappointment was the pollution. With an oily film on everything, you had to take your shoes off before entering your trailer, wash an orange before you peeled it and wash your windows every other day. Maybe we were in a worse spot than others, but found it hard to believe.

Fred and Janice Walker from Nolin area have returned from a 17-day holiday, by bus. They travelled to Branson, Mo., saw the sights there and enjoyed great entertainment everywhere.

The contract bridge winners on Monday at the Do Drop In were Jetta Dasilva and Jack Stewart.
