• North Bend will remember Oscar Miller, there’s no doubt about it. Too much happened during his 16 years as mayor for him to be overlooked. Most important of all, city government has gone from a backroom operation to a professional, well-oiled machine.

• Just the day before Christmas, Mrs. Susanne Wales succumbed at Harborview Hospital, where she had been moved several days before her death. When her plight first became known among her church friends and neighbors, she was transported to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Templin on the Edgewick road. Her story touched the hearts of Valley people. With the passing of Mrs. Wales, neighbors have been exerting every effort to ensure that her daughter would have as happy a holiday as possible under the tragic circumstances. They, and all the folks who contributed to the fund suggested by Mrs. Burk’s letter in last week’s Record, should feel good to know that their money is being put to good use.

• The Fall City Elementary School Christmas program was given in the school gym Monday night. The program opened with the audience singing “Silent Night, Holy Night.”

• The ancient art of the Northwest Coast Indians is being kept alive by Hugh H. Hunds, who in everyday life is a Seattle structural engineer. At his country estate near Fall City, he has a huge totem pole studio, where he spends his leisure hours modeling tribal totems in clay and carving them from seasoned cedar logs cut from his own forest.

• After a conference with A.M. Young, chief engineer of the King County Civil Works Administration, county commissioners announced Tuesday that 1,500 CWA men would be available for use in two county road districts until Jan. 4 for flood reconstruction work.
