UNHEEDED BELL 



VCe\e been n atiing wiih intettsT tin arti 

 cits on the ' I'reasureii Bell Thomas An.iy 

 Walk, J'_. yr. oM son ot ours, finds it no 

 problem to enjoy his favorite stunt of nn^'in^ 

 the bell even th-iu^h daddy pLiied the fresh 

 h paintid bill on .i hi>;h post, minus the 

 rope 



Yes, the Mien heed the sound ot the bell at 

 mealtime and when witliin answerin.i; di-lanie 

 but find It usually on- ot the three vounj^slers 



I lound from bitter txptrieme the bell isn t 

 very tlfe.tive when )t'.s far from the iiousi 

 Our year anii halt old pitl, lanue. once got 

 a nasty j;ash in hei head and I needed the 

 trutk to lake her to a doi tor After a hurried 

 trip by foot to the plaie where thi men were 

 fillini; up an old pond, tliey told nie they 

 heard the bi-li but diiin't pay much attention, 

 as its usually the ihildierj, which is vciy true. 



The old bell has been used many a time 

 probably very effectively by Tommy's pre.ii 

 grandfather. Andrew \X'alk, 89. of Sipel
