Two products of Kenneth Dallemand’s hobby, carpentry, brought happiness to scores of Aberdeen Methodists and Central Park residents on Easter Sunday.
A miniature replica of the Methodist church, made of plywood and painted brick red with white trim, was presented by Dallemand to Rev. Rudolph Anderson and the congregation of the Methodist church at the Easter service.
The model church is fashioned with colored glass windows and a light in installed inside to glow through them. He spent part of his spare time the past two and a half years constructing the tiny church. It is on display in the church vestibule.
Also during his spare time he made a pulpit for the Central Park Community church which was dedicated on Easter. It also is made of plywood.

Six tuberculosis patients from the Twin Harbors area — including four Taholah residents — have been referred to Seattle’s Firland Sanitarium since December.
Concerning the incidence of TB at Taholah, a district spokesman said, “This many cases coming from an area with a population of only 500 is a very high rate.”
One Taholah patient was admitted to the sanitarium in December, two in February and one in March. An Aberdeen patient was admitted in January and a McCleary resident in March.

Michael Wallingford gets bot about lukewarm foods.
Wallingford is the new assistant environmental health director for the Grays Harbor County Department of Health.
That means he’s in charge of inspecting the area’s 460 restaurants, cafes, snack bars and other places that sell or prepare food.
While sometimes restaurant workers might think he and his staff are being “picky,” a couple degrees difference in heating or cooling food can mean the difference between health and sickness for the public who eat it, he says.
In Grays Harbor, restaurants are routinely inspected two or three times a year, with those that have a more “complex” or varied menu inspected three times. Also restaurants are reinspected the following month when a restaurant score is unsatisfactory.
