We are indeed a fortunate commun ity in comparison with the conditions prevailing in many other localities. All one has to do, is read the news papers, of the tradgies in a mercenary way and otherwise, to be thankful, right now, to live in Grover, Wy. Un questionably, there are better places and certainly there are worse ones. We certainly feel, without stint to eulogize the splendid program given us by the Afton North Ward Priesthood and M Men Sunday afternoon in sacra ment meeting. Well, indeed might Bishop Frank Gardner, feel a sense of intense pride in his accomplishments, in assisting to interest the young men of his ward in the lines of development most valuable in life. Among those participating with in dividual parts on the program were: musical duet by Orrin Gardner ,and Eric Schlote, Saxophone solo by Alva Burton, Piano accompaniment by Donna Allred; M Menspledge, Mr. Schlote; excellent talks by Clifford Burton, Jack Kellersberger and Lin coln Gardner. Milford Gardner con ducted the exercises. There was also a duet by Gerald Call and Lincoln Gardner. Jesse Lee accompanied the splendid turnout of visitors. We wish we had opportunities for more such programs. — Mrs. Kay Cranney and daughter of Auburn spent the weekend with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Ander son. Mrs. Lovina Thurman has been quite ill the past week, but is improving nicely at this writing. Orson Putnam is still considerably under the weather at his home here. George Astle, Miss Verda Astle, La mont Drarney of Auburn and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bee of Grover had a very thrilling and interesting trip to Mont pelier last week. The many Grover Relief Society friends of Mrs. Léah Walton of Au burn, certainly did, have a truly en joyable time, in the nature of bundle and work shower. Many useful house hold articles and a goodly share of pro visions were given. Also enough wool was carded, and two most de sirable mattress pads were made, by the busy and willing hands assembled President Luella Griffith had charge of the affair and was assisted by all present. A very delicious and abun dant lunch was served by Mrs. Ed Cc. Thurman, Mrs. Katie Jensen and Mrs. G. W. Hepworth. The affair was held at the home of Mrs. Walton's par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Hurd. M. P. Anderson has made several recent, business trips from his ranch on Willows creek to Afton. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jensen spent Tuesday visiting at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Alma Moser at Fair view. Mrs. Katie Anderson visited at the home of Mrs. W. A. Taylor in Afton Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Orlan Jensen and son Verdeve, were guests at the home of Homer West and family Wednesday. We certainly had a fast and furious ball game with Thayne Monday night We won of course, we mostly do, we defeated Auburn also, recently. Lawrance Peterson and Allan M. Hepworth anticipate registering at the Star Valley High school for the second semester, Monday next. Both have worked hard in the canyon 7 past few weeks and are glad to have completed that labor, for the present and turn their energies in another direction. Word comes to G. W. Hepworth from his son R. D. Hepworth who has spent the past few years in the vicin ity of Chicago, Ill. as an officiator of the Air Way Co. that he has been transferred to Pittsburgh, Pa, where he will reside indefinitely. He anti cipates removing his wife and two sons to join him about March 1st. Mr. Hepworth has worked very hard and consistently and non splendid success also deserved promotions since he entered his service with the Air Way company. His many friends here will be pleased to learn of his successes. Shirley, small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer. Thurman is a recovering form a severe attack of throat infection Shirley is a lovely child and we all have lamented her illness. Mark Hurd and L. J. Halling made a trip to Afton Tuesday. Amil Leavitt is one of the most per sistent canyon workers in this vicinity It is indeed lamentable that so much time and energy and downright slav ish labor must be given by the hu man body, for the small wage canyon work yields at present. No harder work, for the amount of proportionate compensation is found in Star Valley, especially since dry timber has be come so scarce. But it’s a blessing to have even that opportunity to main tain a livelihood in these stringent times. We are all looking forward hopeful ly to an improved reign of circum stances due in 1933, although the past has dealt very gently with us, com pared to many other places.
