I guess we must face the.
inevitable. The holidays have
finally had it and it's time to
get back to the serious business
of living again. At our house
we always leave the manger
scene on the mantle, and: if
it isn't too dry we leave the
Christmas tree up until the end
of the Advent season, It seems
to help somehow. to extend this
beautiful time of year. Since
early in December, the LittleWedding Chapel, which looks like
a scene from Santa's workshop
all the year, has turned our
little town into a true bit of the
"stuff Christmas is. made of". But
now its lights are out, its sparkle
is gone and it too is back to
the serious business of living
or should I_ say the serious
business of loving.
I find it all very sad. My
New Year's resolutions always
include three things, take care
of your health, be happy and be
a lady. The health bit means
an extra trip to the dentist, the
doctor and the opthamologist for
me, This starts my new year off
with a bang. Now that it's almost over, I must say I'm happy
about the whole thing. The being
a lady. bit is harder, as my
mother interpreted it, and tried
to teach me, being a lady is a
24-hour a day chore-a real "way
of life''. My mother didn't think
using the correct fork was too
important, but she sure believed
in "doing unto others" and all
those good old fashioned: things
like the Ten Commandments and
honesty and kindness to your
fellow man, Things that are really.-hard .to. live: up: too, ‘They do
bring lots of pleasure. though,
even when done rather badly as
my resolutions ‘usually are, My
mother was quite a "gal" with
a heart as big as the whole
world.

’ Mr, .and Mrs. Everette Burk‘hard. and family have just returned from a family get-together in Washington. Some of
the family live in Seattle. and
some in nearby Hoquiam and
Mr. Burkhard's sister and her
family came from Tennessee.
Twenty-four gathered on Christmas Day for dinner. It was the
first time they had all been
together since 1959 and it seems
they really had a "ball".
They experienced none of the
flood problems we read about
here. Their trip was uneventful
until they reached Redding, California on their way home, Here
a broken axle delayed them about
three days. "Even this could have
been worse," says Faye, No
one was hurt and it waited until
they were on nice wide highways.
Dr. and Mrs. Clarence A,
Splithoff of the.Bay area spent
some of their holidays with the
Bert Spaites' of Rough and Ready.
Dr. Splithoff is an orthopedic
surgeon with: the childrens hospital in the Bay area. One of our
Rough and Ready youngsters,
Miss Rhonda Prochaska, was
fortunate ‘in having Dr. Splithoff
care for her crushed foot after
a recent accident with her horse.
The Spaites' also had as holiday guests, daughter Mrs.0. E.
Boeling of Oakland and her family and Dr. and Mrs, Gale Spaite
also of Oakland. Dr. Gale is almost as enthusiastic about Rough
and Ready as his brother Bert
and helps whenever he is‘here.
Mrs, Pat Boeling just about has
her hands full with three youngsters and a husband inthe armed
services but she and Mrs. Spaite
are quite interested inthe Sierra
Nevada Hospital Auxiliary.The Bryan Christensens' spent
some of their holiday with daughter, Mrs. Velda Dayton and her
family in La Habra, California
and stopped in Bakersfield for a
visit with son Lewis Christensen
on their way home. Excitement
for them wasn't over however.
Several days later a fox (or
something besides a racoon) got
into their chicken coop and stole
away with Mr. Christensens'
beautiful prized 1 rooster.
Our new fire protection district had its first workout last
week, There were all of the elements of a real first class fire,

of diesel fuel close by and a

Mrs, John W, Schuster and Mr.

Calif, who spend their weekends
here when they can, had planned
to have the place torn down
and there were no furnishings
