Frankie Cozzens trav-
eled on the Disney Magic
cruise ship to the Caribbe-
an Islands of St. Maarten
and St. Thomas where she
visited her granddaughter,
Lindsay Cozzens. Lindsay
is under contract with Dis-
ney Cruise Lines and plays
their female villains, most
currently the Evil Queen
from Snow White. Lind-
say's work will take her
to the Mediterranean and
northern Europe before
she returns to New York
next fall.
Frankie said she had
fun watching Lindsay sing,
dance and act in several
shows. On the way back
to the United States, they
stopped at Disney's private
island, Castaway Cay, in
the Bahamas and enjoyed
the warm sunshine, beau-
tiful blue waters and white
sandy beaches. On her 10-
day journey, Frankie was
accompanied by her son,
David, daughter-in-law,
Donna, and Donna's moth-
er, Gena Pederson.
Frankie said this was
the cruise of a lifetime. She
was veryimpressedbecause
everything the cruise ship
did was planned for fun and
interest. There are several
large dining rooms on the
Disney ship with special
waiters who followed you
through your days there
and exotic menus to choose
from. The group also cele-
brated Lindsays birthday
with a dinner on the 10th
deck of the ship.
Mrs. Cozzens also said
it was wonderful to watch
Linds ay and the shows were
like stage show Broadway
musicals. She was amazed
how large everything was:
the dining rooms, the the-
ater and the fact that the
ship holds 2,500 people and
is 10 stories high. It sounds
like she indeed had the trip
of her lifetime.

Last week in the Cow-

concerning the Pioneer Day

that a committee has been

the all-school reunion and
to let Sally Wilson or Moni-
ca Miller know of them and
they would contact these
people. Monica and Sally

Sorry, Monica and Sally,

too many calls. The Pio-

Easter Egg hunt this Saturday

While doing some shop-
ping in Lovell over the
weekend, I met up with
a friend who blasted the
School District about the
sign in front of RMHS in
Byron. His major complaint
was the fact that the dis-
trict endured the expense
of the,, sign knowing that
the building w"hld be va-
cant, two moths. Anoth-
er couple also 'ommented
on such a waste of school
funds.
Just to set the record
straight, the sign was pur-
chased by the Town of By-
ron and with a mutual
agreement with the dis-
trict, the sign was installed
at the expense of the town.
The school district had
nothing to do with the pur-
chase of the sign. They do,
however, have equal use of
the sign until the closure of
the facility in May.
As stated before, the
sign is way too low for prac-
tical purposes. The sign will
be raised at least another
three feet. It has been sug-
gested to raise it 10 feet in
order to clear the height of
other road signs. To do so,
the view of the sign could
be seen from either direc-
tion at a long distance.
This Saturday, the an-
nual Easter egg hunt spon-
sored by the Byron Lions
Club will be held. The event
begins at 10:30 a.m. in
Jones Park for the toddlers.
At 10:45, the preschool-
ers will get their chance to
hunt for the colorful eggs.
At 11, the kindergarten
and first-graders will do
their hunt at Carter Field,
followed by the second- and
third-graders at 11:15. The
fourth- and fifth-graders'
hunt will be at the football
field at 11:30.
The annual Byron Li-
ons Club Auction will be
held on April 24 at the By-
ron Bar. This event is the
club's number one fund-
raiser. Proceeds of the auc-
tion are used to fund com-
munity events such as the
Easter Egg Hunt, Byron
Day's BBQ, holiday bas-
kets, scholarships for grad-
uates, and providing ey e
glasses for the needy. To

The card players
sharpened their skills
again at Newcomers Club
Thursday, March 25.The
bridge players were
graced by two male play-
ers, who kept the regulars
on their toes more than
usual. Nevertheless, card
shark Arlene Ross still
managed to take high.
The hottest player
on the pinochle side was
Garnet Sorenson, who
shot the moon three times
during the first round of
cards. Players felt bad-
ly for Eva Wagner, who
couldn't get good cards
and ended up with the low-
est score. They send con-
dolences to Eva and wish
her better luck next time.

75 YEARS AGO
APRIL 5, 1935
The Cowley Weekly
Progess:
Tuesday, between mid-
niLe and morning, the Cow-
ley Cash Store, owned by
John H. Tippets, was bur-
glarized and more than
$125 worth of goods were
made way with. The bur-
glars first broke into Bert
Marchant's blacksmith
shop and helped themselves
with sledge hammer, wreck-
ing bar and cold chisel, with
which they broke off the
safe's dial and handle but
failed to open it. Entrance
to the store was made by
breaking the glass win-
dow on the left of the door.
They also broke into Stan
Jameson's barber shop but
not a great deal was netted
there. The burglars, ama-
teurs though they appar-
ently were, left no tangible
clue, though the officers are
investigating.
MARCH 28, 1935
The Lovell Chronicle:
William Albert Mor-
ris, 91, of Frannie, who had
been a noted character in
this part of the country for
many years, died March 23,
1935.
Mr. Morris owned the
only hbuse between Bill-
ings and Lander in the
days when Lander was the
county seat. He had resid-
ed there since 1887, and
had entertained many not-
ed national figures as wl
as outlaws and bad men in
his hotel. His only neigh-
bors were Indians, and he
freighted his supplies from
Billings two or three times
a year.
He is survived by a
daughter, Mrs. Frannie
Ford, for whom the town
was named.

eled to suit their needs.
