Mrs. Sadie Ryan of Hayward is visiting her niece Mrs. Carl Niesen of Penn Valley. Mrs. Ryan achieved her 90th birthday last November.

Mrs. Joseph (Mary) Lee is home from a therapy session at the hospital for her recent knee surgery. She has a different type of cast and will be on crutches a little longer even with the therapy.

She does those little things like trips te the doctor, the beauty shop, and such that neip neignbors without transportation. Mrs. Martina Paull, former resident of Rough and Ready and now at the Glenbrook Rest Home, is one of the many people missing these little attentions.

Mrs. Joyce Bolton of Hilaire Road is home from the hospital and is feeling much better. She must have lots of rest but is cheerful and up and about. The Rough and Ready Mobile Homes Park is a little community all by itself. Many of the residents participate in Rough and Ready activities as individuals and the Silvas participate as a community business venture. Should give them some sort of double advantage. Jim and Adele Silva arranged a potluck picnic on the lawn area back of the store and cafe last Wednesday night just for Park residents to become acquainted with one another. Mr. Jim Flannery, interning X-ray technician at Sierra, played his accordian for a community sing. They will be sorry to lose Mr. Flannery who is taking a post in Yuba City. Mrs. Lisetta Scheave who is an ardent supporter of all Rough and Ready ventures was a guest.
