Humbird (5 April 1973)

Mr. and Mrs. Perle Pickett spent Thursday evening with Mr. and Mrs. Levi Fitzmaurice.

Mr. and Mrs. Levi Fitzmaurice called Friday evening at the Ed Tande home by the Mound View area.

Monday morning, and what to my wondering eyes should appear, snowflakes, small, medium and large, some as big as a dollar. Anyway, April showers make the air cleaner for us.

Mrs. Johanna Olson is spending several days with her granddaughter, Mrs. Allen Zimmerman, in Fairchild.
