“WIN THE WESTERN DIVISION PENNANT? = 2emc. 4

In the office at Lake Wildwood a coupleof years ago the comment was made to me that the worst
thing about Rough and Ready was its nomenclature, After some questioning I found they were referring to the signs of the various businesses in town, With all the money Boise Cascade spends
on advertising its only natural they should be very conscious of signs, I always hated most of ours
myself but I came home hoping to find some good in them, In most cases I had to admit the men in
the office had been right, Since that time a couple of our businesses have put up some rather nice
signs, The most striking one to date, is the new one for the Mexican Villa Cafe, Its simple and
readable yet eyecatching and impressive which surely proves that the Solis family are clever as
well as being good business people. The cafe is so far back from the road that its practically hidden
from the view of thepasserby ashe comes along our curving highway until he has almost passed by.
They put their sign on an old ore car right beside the road, With our area background this starts
the ball rolling for the tourist, Then they used two beautiful old porch columns to hold the swinging
sign at a proper viewing height, To top it all off the background is a fresh clean white with very
neat bold red lettering, Yes; combined with the lovely rustic sign at the Wedding Chapel, the new
rustic ones at the Country Store, the interesting ones at the Toll House, and Helenes gay ones,
the town has a real good start on offsetting our neighbors criticism about ugly signs, It only takes
one if its good! It looks like clutter might be the next problem. ,

Mrs, Bettie Decker is the new face at the Post Office and a very pretty one it is too, Mrs,
Deckers regular job, in the fire season, is fire watch, She worked at the Banner Mtn, Tower for
several years and at present is stationed at the tower between Colfax and Wiemar, She works in
our PO on her days off, Before she came to our area she lived in Honolulu and worked at the P O
there, Her son is in the Navy and is stationed in Hawaii at present, Bettie is replacing Mrs, Dora
Grieme, No one can ever replace "Hettie'’ our Secession Day Dance Hall Queen, of course, but
Mrs, Decker has taken over her job, Mrs, Grieme, whose husband has been ill for a long time,
found there was just too many outside pressures, Mr, Grieme is in the Veterans Hospital at
Martinez, Dora must take care of the ranch here at home and travel that long way back and
forth, Besides she has a lively family of grandchildren nearby which do away with the possibility of any dull moments. Dora has been with our Post Office since I left there tho' I can't remember
just when that was I know its been a long time, Another new thing at our Post Office these days
is the possibility of Star Route deliveries on Rough and Ready Road, It seems there have been some
requests for delivery there and you should see your Postmaster if you are interested, At present
the. possible route only extends.as far out as the old Balch Road now named Pioneer
Road but bearing a sign Deerlick Road, Deerlick Road is the first one on the left as you leave
Rough and Ready Road on Pioneer Road, I think I know what I just wrote, Ask your Postmaster about
deliveries, :

were a dried apple doll, crocheted seed pearl necklaces, glass bead flowers, a garden hat, a patchwork quilt, childrens stuffed toy animals, and other things too numerous to mention, Seems Banner
Grange is going to have their Bazaar on November 13 and they have even taken.on our last years
Gypsy Tea Room idea so we will need these special things to tempt you purchasers out twice.

NEVADA ia "there is nothing new under the sun", Mrs, Hepsi Frank has one that is 100 years old, Hers is the
old fashioned glass beads done in pink with an aqua stripe. It has been crocheted into a rope
just as the seed pearls are today. It is beautiful! Hepsi says she wears it occasionally just to keep
the luster in the crystal beads,
