April has brought us some wild wind! Almost everyday the branch; leaves and other items of debris are dancing on the tree branches and on the green grass. The sunny May has followed April's pattern so far. This morning I picked up huge bunches of downed tree branches, drug them to the back yard, I then commenced to split the branches in two so that they would fit in the dumping barrels. Only a short few minutes later the wind again began to beat more branches from the trees. Needing a rest, I thought I would sit on the front porch and relax and read for a few minutes. I grabbed a book I wanted and began to settle down in the front porch rocking chair. I opened the book, gave a sigh and in about two minutes, my black, Manx cat, Sammy decided to jump onto my lap. Okay. So I can just relax a few minutes and then get back to work. "Sammy" settled down and began to purr. As I watched the tree branches continue to move back and forth, back and forth I began to tackle not only the yard and the wind but a few dozen projects become hypnotized and within my home. mesmerized too.

Hays Assault Case Results In Two Suits Another angle of the assault case in which Harold H. Hays, a young sheepman of the Proberta district, recently was fined $300 and sentenced by Justice of the Peace E. F. Lennon to 30 days in jail for beating up L. J.

Dear Annie: I am married to a wonderful woman who is generous and helpful. We are both retired, in good health and live comfortably. We are currently babysitting two of our grandchildren five days a week, nine months out of the year. We love our grandchildren, but I feel this is too much. The problem is, when I talk to my wife about doing less so we could take the winter off and spend it in a warmer climate, she refuses. I want to enjoy my retirement. Winters here are depressing and limit our physical activities. I don't feel it would be right for me to travel by myself or spend time in a warmer and more enjoyable place while she stays home and babysits. How can I get her to realize that the years slip by, and that if we don't enjoy ourselves now, it may be too late when the grandkids no longer need us to babysit? — Richard in New England Dear Richard: It's possible your idea of a won- derful retirement is not the same as your wife's. She may enjoy being around her grandchildren and want to be close to them (and of assistance to your children) as long as she is capable of doing so. Since you have three months ''off,'' begin by planning some special trips during that time. When winter comes, use your weekends or school vacations to get away. You might even take the grandchildren on longer trips if they are old enough and you can afford it. If you approach this in the spirit of compromise, perhaps your wife will listen and even offer some suggestions of her own. Dear Annie: This is in reply to the widow in Florida who complained that she is unable to make new friends. I suggest she find a local animal shelter where she can volunteer her time. Most shelters welcome volunteers, especially during the week. Whether or not she makes new human friends, the animals she works with will appreciate the time she spends with them and will display a love and loyalty she will treasure forever. — Steve Rodeo Special Amazing Finds May 11 • 10-4 Well-Being Faire & Sidewalk Sale NEW & USED FURNITURE & MUCH, MUCH MORE!
