Hello there! From George Washington’s diary in the year 1788 comes the following: “July 24th. Ther mometer at 70 in the morning, 71 at noon, and 74 at night. A very high No. Et. wind all night, which, this morning, being ac companied with rain, became a hurricane, driving the miniature ship Federalist from her moor ings and sinking her, blowing down some trees in the groves and about the houses, loosening the roots, and forcing manv others to yield... and doing other and great mischief to the grain, grass, etc. and not a little to my mill race. In a word it was vio lent and severe . . . “And about noon the wind sud denly shifted from No. Et. to So. Wt. and blew the remaining part of the dav as violentlv from that quarter.’* So George Washington suffered the effects of a hurricane early in the season. This is something we do not like to think about, but we need to prepare ourselves before the hurricane season be gins. Get plywood that fits the big window in your home and have it ready to nail up. And all the other necessities, get them together and be prepared. We hear Mrs. Muriel Evans of Ash is in the hospital and we send her best wishes. Mr. and Mrs. T. V.

Jerry Lewis stands in for John ny Carson on The Tonight Show, the week of Aug. 19, while Johnny does a night-club turn at Lake Tahoe. We enjoy watching Joey Bishop ... we just love Joey Bishop at our house. How ’bout you? The little girls and boys at our house keep reminiscing about Disneyland and their trip years ago to the wonderland of Cali fornia. They came to know well the fairyland whence all these dreams are made from the elec tronic storyteller of television., On Sunday evenings they watch the wonders of Disney unfold over and over again. As dreams go, it was a cross between Oz and Wonderland, for we shook hands with Pluto, Pinoc chio, Elmer Fudd and bumped against the rubber stomachs of the three little pigs who walk about on the premises considerably larger than life. ' We sailed on the magic steam boat, submerged in a giant sub marine to see the giant clam shells and live mermaids, climb ed the famed tree house of the Swiss Family Robinson and went aboard the Isle of Tahiti for a cool refreshing native drink. It was a glorious day, and we thor oughly enjoyed it. Old-fashioned buses and cars can be driven to the door of the Disneyland Hotel or just to take a ride. Or, quintessence of all joys, there is the Monorail, which stops and starts and whizzes into the middle part, not stopping until it reaches the rakish precincts of Tommorrowland. When his Magic Kingdom was first dedicated in July of 1955, Walt Disney liad the vision to prophesy, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow--to add new things—as long as there is imagination left in the world,’* It keeps building every day. We climbed aboard the pirate ship with buccaneers chasing the village maidens in and out of doors, tying the governor in a barrel and dunking him into the village well. This must have been Blackboard’s headquarters. There are days we play, “Re member the Time" summoning sugary recollections of the Magic Kingdom. Maybe someday we can return.
