Evergreen Drug Store opened for business at 10 a.m. at 4106 Rucker Ave. in a building formerly occupied by Safeway. It was operated by Gordon Schmidt, former manager of Bartell Drug Stores in Seattle. He was a registered pharmacist, having graduated from the University of Washington in 1953. He and his wife had four children.
Pupils at the Lynndale Elementary School took part in the flag-raising ceremonies of the daylong dedication observance of the new school. The school had served students since September. Posting the colors were Scouts Bill Ellis, Dave Cochran and Dick MacGilvtray.

Members of the Sno-Isle Retired Teachers Association were taking dressed dolls for the Salvation Army family gifts program and canned and packaged food to their meeting. The group met monthly in the Red Cross building. Stan Ford was the organization’s community participation chair and premier cookie baker.
In the same spirit, Snohomish and Monroe food banks would have a bit more buying power for this Christmas season, thanks to the efforts of the 50 or so members of the Greenhorns 4-H Club of eastern Snohomish County. Leaders were Howard and Nancy Schwend.
