Someone would come up and start it about dark, then turn it off at nine o'clock. If you needed illumination after that you lit a candle or a kero- sene lamp. Most of us just went to bed and listened to a radio or went to sleep. They also ran it for two hours on Monday and Tuesday mornings, that's when you did your washing and iron- ing. The morning after we moved in we awoke to three feet of snow. The men were unable to go to work for two days, and then they had to walk part of the way.

Now it was my turn to, walk to the mine. The men didn't bring the jeep all the way home until my parents had caught up on their payments. Until they started getting a pay- check from the company, the men did a lot of walking that winter, One funny incident hap- pened at my parent's house. Shortly after they moved in they were eating supper when a pack rat ran across the floor looking - for a hole to escape into. My dad shot it with a pistol and Mom cleaned up the mess. Another funny thing happened the next summer. The neighbor kids were playing in the roadway close to our woodpile, when they saw a rattlesnake. Mom went out with a shovel and killed it. Later in the same woodpile we found a baby chip- munk that was almost starved to death. I took him in and fed him with a doll bottle until he was big enough to eat for him- self. We called him Monkey and he furnished hours of entertain- ment. We had him four years, then one day he just disappeared and we never knew what hap- pened- to him. We had a lot of block activities -that first year. We would all get together and play cards in the wintertime, either penny ante poker or pinochle. PUBLIC NOTICE Tech.

In the summertime we all got together and had Weiner and marshmallow toasts and played soft ball across the road, where the quonsets were later built. Everyone played, even the little kids two and three years old, and of course the grandparents like my folks. We also went rabbit hunting and had some good breakfasts of fried rabbit, biscuits, and gravy. A lot of us hunted deer, also, even when there wasn't a sea- son, but it furnished much need- ed meat and we never abused it. I remember . one time we were out hunting with another couple, spotlighting, and we shot a deer. Three of us got out to go take care of it and the other lady stayed in the car with a baby. We hearing this funny noise, like someone breathing real gruff. Martin whispered to me that he thought the other man had shot a bull, then all at once he put his hand on my 'shoulder and said that the noise was being made by a mountain lion. The hair on the back of my neck stood up, and we headed back to the car. In our mad rush we stumbled over the deer and stopped to gut it out. I held the flashlight and I was shaking so bad that it's a wonder the guys could see what they were doing. The other couple went back the next day and collected the deer. They said that there were mountain lion tracks all over the place. F Block was a real con- nected community, we all got along great and had a lot of good times together.
