Holt County an* See Arkansas Snow! ROCK FALLS Your repo rtf] last week definitely peekec around the wrong corner looking for spring Accompanying her brother Alden Bremer, and daughter Lnda, she set out happily on tht way to Arkansas Wednesday morning, March 12, to visit theii brother and uncle, Don Breiner and family. Thinking they would be enjoying warm spring weathet down there, they were surprised in Missouri. They were met by a raging snowstorm. Visibility was almost nil at times and traffic moved at a snail’s pace. This condition prevailed all the way to Winslow, Ark., and alsc throughout most of the night. Inquiring at a filling station, a friendly young man who lived near the Breiners escorted the storm-weary travelers to theii destination. There was a estimated six-to eigjht inches of the heavy, wet snow in tViat vicinity with a pos sible 10 inches in places. Tht white stuff's stay was of short dur ation, however, and by noon o] the second day it had nearly all melted. Folks in that area said they had lots of rain and snow during the winter and rather cold temp eratures. Normally they would have had their truck plowing done by this time, whereas they are just getting ready to start. Filled dams and ponds were evidence of. plenty of mositure. The party returned home Sat urday evening somewhat bewild ered. but happy to find that there had been no new snowfall during their four-day absence, and won dering if it might be spring in Alaska. nmtton of Officers Next Meeting— CHAMBERS—The Silver Star 4-H chib held a reorganization meeting Saturday, March 15, at the home of Carol Tracy.

Gift Of Spring March may be roaring like a lion outside your house, but a bowlful of pure yellow daffodils to brighten your living room is all the promise you need that Spring is not far away. Their warm, sunshine color is the best possible tonic to wipe out the last bit of dullness in tag-end Winter days. The arrangement shown here, created by Alyn Wayne, official designer for the Florists’ Telegraph Delivery Association, is an exotic treatment of this rather un sophisticated flower and is achieved in part by the low Oriental container and partly by the unusual bend and curl of the leaves. The secret for the latter is a fine florist wire inserted the entire length of the hollow leaf and then bent to the desired shape. You can do this also with the hollow stem of the flower using a little b«a«ler wire. Try it yourself—And remember, daffodils are plentiful on<t inexpensive this time of year and make welcome gifts on both the sad days and glad days. In scores of handsome arrangements, they can be wired any place in this country or overseas through your FTD florist. ESsT i. -r-J I Plans April W edding Mr. and Mrs. F.
