PLACES TO REMEMBER by Ralph Bice From January 25, 1979 One of the earliest things l remember was a tall pine stub that stood in the woods perhaps a mile from our house. It must have been a magnificent tree when growing for it seemed to stand so far above the rest of the […]
SNOWSHOES by Ralph Bice From January 17, 1979 This is the time of year when people wear snowshoes. Some, because it gives them a bit of pleasure walking over clean snow and they can walk places they could not have gone when the ground was bare. Then, for some, snowshoes are an absolute necessity. It […]
WOMEN IN MY LIFE by Ralph Bice From January 10, 1979 I hope when anyone sees the title l have chosen this week they will not think l have been reading those confession magazines and have decided to make a wholesale confession. I have thought just how much it meant to know these very friendly […]
LET THERE BE LIGHT by Ralph Bice From December 20, 1978 Light is one of the very first things mentioned in the Volume of the Sacred Law. Almost at the beginning of creation we are told that the Maker said, “Let there be light.” Much further along in the Beatitudes we are advised to “Let […]

DEER TALES by Ralph Bice From November 22, 1978 There is still talk about the recent deer-moose season. The moose hunt has to be the most successful we ever had. Perhaps too many moose were killed. Close to 80 in this area, and more deer than last fall. Only thing, the deer were killed mostly […]
DEER CAMP WEATHER by Ralph Bice From Wednesday, November 8, 1978 It is well the weather took a turn for the better for we just about used up all the nasty comments reserved for when it gets so miserable. So enjoy it while it is here. Speaking of weather, in the fall of 1925 when […]
