Winter Notes from Great Falls Social Page
The author muses on aging, cards, and spring while recounting Great Falls social life. The Great Falls Women's Institute holds a February meeting at the curling rink, plans a Tea for Boy Scout Week, and notes fundraising for camping gear. Community updates cover residents traveling to Grand Rapids, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Selkirk, and Swedish holidays, plus local curling and Ice Capades outings. Dawn Angele christening, Allan and Betty Bracken welcoming a fifth son, and a Bob Burns disc party fundraiser mark the week. A Pirawa tea and bake sale features local models, and kitchen chores include plucked chicken preparations awaiting browning.
