Humbird (11 March 1971)

Snowmobiles were circling around over the lake Sunday. A word of warning - there are wet spots coming; the ice is not too safe.

Monday night a number of the Order of the Eastern Star members attended the annual review of the Augusta Chapter in Augusta. They were Mr. and Mrs. Harold Losey, Mrs. Anita Markham, Maude Newton, Nina Stuve, Dorothy Sieg and Nordahl Fristad.

Paul Hauer, Altoona, was a visitor in town Wednesday.

Friday, Mrs. Rudy Aeschbacher as driver, Mrs. Levi Fitzmaurice, Mrs. Jake Lightfoot, Sr., Mrs. Iola Printz, Mrs. Cullen Dignin and Mrs. Maude Newton went to Fairchild to attend the World Day of Prayer service in the United Methodist Church which was arranged by members of the Women’s Society of Christian Service.

Mrs. Henry Laffe was dismissed from the hospital in Rochester, Minn., Friday and is now convalescing at home. Her sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Schlei of Green Bay, will be with her for a few days.

Mr. and Mrs. Dick Rosalock and Mrs. Helene Nelson of Eau Claire were Sunday afternoon visitors at the Newton home. Mrs. Newton accompanied Mrs. Nelson home because of the critical illness of her brother.

The account of the Heart Fund Drive will be given next week. It has been delayed on account of the weather. Volunteers were out last week.

Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Stuve were Neillsville visitors Friday.

Mrs. Roy Jeffery, who had been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Will Hein, for three weeks, was snowbound recently when she planned to start home. She was detained until the over-worked snowplow came to plow out the road. With no further trouble she arrived safely at her home in Scott City, Kans.

May your correspondent also pay tribute to the late editor, Wells F. Harvey, for I, knew him as a very wonderful person. Have we any other correspondents who started writing for The Press under his ownership?
