Alpine receives heavy snow and local civic shifts noted
Avalanche records show Alpine marked 7.5 inches of snow after a 48 hour storm that halted traffic for over a day. The City Commission named Judge R B Slight as city secretary succeeding the late T F Skevington. Alpine precipitation in 1946 reached 20.45 inches with September the peak month at 6.33 inches. A new chapter of the Order of De Moray will be formed, with officers elected to serve until Oct 1.

Indignant Monkeys Deny Ties to Man in Verse Satire
A humorous verse by NAT Campbell circulated in 1946 depicts monkeys convening to reject being related to humans. They claim peaceable living, no wars, no prisons, and ethical conduct, mockingly denying theft, gambling, or hypocrisy. The poem ends with holiday greetings from the monkeys and Christmas visits by families.
