SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD - CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1934

Mrs. A. W. Stiner and daughter, Miss Arthayda left last Monday for
Chowchilla. We hear the faint sound of wedding bells, which will soon ring
for this popular young lady.

CLINTON Fulcher CASTS HAT IN RING

Clinton J. Fulcher of Lookout appears to be the first to definitely and
publicly "cast his hat in the political ring." In a letter to the RECORD he
states that he will be a candidate for the Assembly.

It will be remembered that he made the race two years ago against Albert F.
Ross of Redding and for a day or so after Election Day his election was
conceded. Complete returns, however, gave the office to Ross, who resigned
during the term to accept the appointment as Superior Judge of Shasta
County.

"Clint’s" candidacy has rather been taken for granted, but the definite
statement is no less agreeable to his friends and former supporters who hope
he will be unopposed.

For years he has actually been a representative of northeastern California
in most matters of general interest. He is president of the Intermountain
Sportsmen’s Association, director of the Shasta Cascade Wonderland
Association and a director in charge of their sportsmens’ units, a member of
the California State Chamber of Commerce Fish and Game Committee, a member
of the California State Automobile Association’s Advisory roads and Highway
Committee and active in the past helping to promote highway developments, a
member of the Modoc Tax Committee, spending the last two years studying the
tax situation; a member of the Grange and Farm Bureau and from these
associations conversant with their needs and wants.

LIKELY ITEMS

Likely, California, March 17th, 1934

A very pleasant surprise party was planned and carried out by about fifty
young people and a few of the parents last Friday night at the home of Mr.
Ivie McGarva. This date was Miss Dorothy’s fourteenth birthday. Later in the
evening the crowd adjourned to the Community Hall, where dancing followed by
refreshments were enjoyed.

The "Flower Garden" quilt is nearing completion at the home of Mrs. W. H.
Flournoy. The quilt is the property of the Likely Sunday School and the
Sewing Circle have been meeting each week sewing a little on it for
sometime.

Joe Purvis has returned from Perez, where he has been employed with the
Larsen Brothers.

Mrs. D. E. Van Loan is visiting at the home of her mother, Mrs. Charles
Spargur in Mt. View this week.

HAT IN RING FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR

Will Archer, of Alturas, has announced his candidacy for the office of
County Surveyor. Mr. Cline present incumbent will not enter the race for the
office this year on account of poor health. Mr. Archer has been working with
Mr. Cline for the past four years and has acquired a thorough knowledge of
the work of the office to which he aspires. His announcement will appear in
a later issue of the RECORD.

OVER the BAR

Ere the twilight fell came the call from afar,

Distant, echoing across the bar,

And she listened, wondering and we listened, all,

Dreading and fearing that sinister call.

Surely, not for her, while the sun is still high

The day so young, no evening shades nigh

Her task undone, unfinished, her plans,

But she hearkened and quietly folded her hands.

And we prayed, "Oh, Father, hear our heart’s deep cry,

In infinite pity, let this cup pass by;

Just a few more years, we need her so,

Oh, dry our tears, heed our heart’s deep woe."

But the call had come and she answered, there,

And we waited, heads bowed low in prayer.

"Thy will, Oh Lord, not ours be done,

Tho’ the stars go out and a cloud hides the sun."

A life so blameless, a spirit so sweet,

Where all the virtues blend and meet,

A friend to all, to loved ones so dear,

So patient, so helpful, so ready to cheer.

But we have the assurance of meeting her there,

Meeting and greeting in that land so fair,

Where all our parting is over and done,

And the true life of the soul has begun.

And her spirit will hover and ever be near,

Guiding, watching, loving and dear.

She is waiting, smiling on us from afar,

Transfigured, happy, just over the bar.

(In loving remembrance of Katherine Lester Street, by Lydia Jacobs
Tonningsen, 157 N. Shasta St., Willows, California)
