June passed so quickly! But the days are pleasantly warm and the skies very blue - Montana blue!
"Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune, and over it softly her warm ear lays."
Pink roses in a crowd, reaching in old fashioned, spicy pungency through a white picket fence.
Rev. Larsson in white carpenter coveralls calling for mail before working for another day on the new Christian church.
Many wild flowers in full bloom!
Rae Lynn Olson toddling between her mother and father while on a visit to Dan's and ice cream.
A young girl giving her Fox Terrier a ride in the basket of her bicycle.
A sign, "ST. IGNATIUS, TURN LEFT," which if followed would take you to the Mission Mountains instead.
Mr. Leon Rowley and wee Eva sharing an ice cream malt at Mission Drug. It doesn't seem possible that she was so frail a few months ago.
Wood ferns at least four feet tall beside tumbling mountain stream.
Mr. Mayson Fearon worked on the chapel in the hot sun.
Judy arrived at my door with a sweet smile and an ice cream cone while I was busy washing woodwork.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gariepy started off last Saturday with ladders and other materials for their new summer home on Flathead Lake.
Mr. Love of Arlee kindly loaned his pony, Spot, that three little folks might enjoy some horseback rides.
Huckleberry bushes still in nice bloom at Edith Ridge summit a bountiful year promised if you enjoy picking the large berries.
Wheat beginning to turn green-yellow and the heads are plump and full.
A coyote that seemed at once to be insolent, skittish, brazen, cunning, cagy, regarded us from about 30 feet off the roadside before trotting off into the bushes and timber.
Lee and a buddy going off toward bus stop on their way back to work. Terry and a friend spent the weekend at home and were off to work, too, laden down with cookies. Terry works at a mill; Lee at a laundry. How many young folks must leave their home to find work! A sad fact which robs our town of fresh ability and enthusiasm.
NEW industries are NEEDED!
Could the Beckwith building, if vacated, serve as a frozen fruit and vegetable processing plant—or as a cannery?
VISITORS FROM ANACONDA
Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Kennedy of Anaconda stopped briefly last Friday and visited with Mrs. Joseph Mahe and Lois. They were enroute to Columbia Falls to visit his son, Glen and family for a few days.

Three grandchildren, Billy, Peter, and Ann come to visit Grandpa Millard, and discover that he can't raise roses that rival those they've seen in Seattle. The trio enjoyed Montana and want to come again.
