Arne B. Jensen of Everett, a resident of the Pacific Northwest since 1911 and a nationally recognized painter, would have a number of his recent works exhibited by the Snohomish County Museum Association in the auditorium at the Everett Public Library. Jensen studied at the old Seattle School of Fine Arts and in Chicago.

A potluck luncheon was arranged for members of Pinehurst Garden Club in Pinehurst Degree of Honor Hall. Helen Welk and Ruth Wright were hostesses. The program was on evergreen and dried arrangements. G.A. Sullivan was the featured speaker.

Mark Zanger of Snohomish had something considered extremely rare. His African pygmy goat gave birth to triplets. The mother stood just 17 inches tall at the shoulder. Mark lived with his parents, Earl and Kay Zanger, on Dubuque Road near Lake Roesiger.
