GARDEN GROUP The May 9th meeting of the Gardening Group will be a "work" day. In an effort to provide a little beauty in the midst of the construction, we are planting the pots and beds around the patio area. Last fall the soil in the flower beds was turned over and compost was incorpo- rated. Planting will be much easier and the flowers should enjoy the added nutrients. We will start at 1:00. Remember to bring gardening tools and kneeling pads. Water will be pro- vided. Many hands means light work, so join us and bring a friend.

Box --The Cates family has always been a bad lot. Joe had been able to strike against them when they critically endangered the life of his daughter, April. He always figured they would come after him - and they are. Dallas Cates is out of prison and full of malevolent power. Joe has his friend, Nate Romanowski, by his side, but will that be enough this time? All he can do is plan and wait for them to make the first move. But when it comes, it is in a way for which no amount of planning could have prepared him. The plane circled in the dark. Joe could just make out down below a figure in the snow and timber and then three other figures closing in. There was nothing he could do about it. Remember to date and initial - return for others to enjoy.
