Fred R. Wollenberg, youngest son of Fred Wollenberg, formerly of Greenwood (Clark Co., Wis.), now of Edwall, Washington, spent the holidays at the Jack Syth and K.W. Baker home here and at Owen. He is a cadet in the U.S. Navy Air School in Pensacola, Florida. He, with five other cadets from Wisconsin and Minnesota motored here from Florida in 30 hours.

On Christmas Day relatives were entertained at the K.N. Baker home at Owen by recordings made by Fred's mother and sister in Washington, extending greetings to all and sent here to surprise him. His sister, Ella, who is a vocal student in Seattle, sang Silent Night in German. Thursday, Fred and his aunts, Mrs. Syth and Mrs. Baker, and some of the cousins enjoyed a telephone conversation with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. F.F. Wollenberg in Washington. They were all happy to hear that Fred, who has been a patient in a hospital in Seattle, is now at home and feeling well.
