“Radersburg News”
By Ida Smith…I went on as Water Commissioner as of Sunday. Judge Peter Maloy of Helena told me to go on Friday but everyone was doing fine, so went on Sunday as we (Oppie helped) had to run some water down. So if the news is short for the next couple of months, please bare with me. Besides going up the Creek (Crow Creek) and down the creek, there are records to keep, a garden to finish putting in and yard work to do, so if anyone has any free time, you know what you can do. Help!
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Seaman of Seely Lake were Radersburg visitors one day last week. They had lunch with John and Loretta Williams. I missed them as I was out ending up the collection for the cancer fund. They (Bob and Heiny) were dinner guests that evening at the Chuck Gillespies and family, Marie Seaman, in Helena. They also missed Tillie Williams.
Mr. and Mrs. Alan Smith attended Fire school at the courthouse in Townsend.
Thursday, Mary Grandchamp, Jane Bottler and Lola Ricketts were Townsend callers and had dinner at the Senior Citizen’s Center and played cards afterwards.
