This is the on-line version. The original was scanned and the text corrected for spellings, something that was very difficult in the original mimeograph process. There is also some minor editing. The Hales Manuscript pages being developed during the publication of the Old Series of The Hales Newsletter have been deleted because the content is now found in The Hales Chronicles, now in its second edition with the third edition planned for 2005.
The Hales Chronicles can be found on the Hales web-page at www.hales.org and at The Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City, Utah; The Library of Congress at Washington, D.C.; The Library of The Society of Genealogists at London, England; and the Centre for Kentish Studies at Maidstone, Kent, England.
The Hales Newsletter is provided to the above cited repositories and the Allen County Public Library at Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Allen County Public Library indexes our publication and provides articles through their Periodical Source Index (PERSI).
If you would like a printed version, reprints of the Old Series of The Hales Newsletters are available at a cost of $3.00 each.
This section of our HALES Newsletter contains the "Happenings" that I am made aware of between Issues. If you know of something that you feel should be in this section which is not here, it is probably because no one has sent me the information. end me a.copy of any newsworthy item concerning our relatives that you discover. Remember that the success of this part of our HALES Newsletter will happen only if all of us take part in reporting the news.
Several of the letters I have received following the last Hales Newsletter mailing expressed a pleasant surprise in the reactivation of the Newsletter. There was a great amount of satisfaction that I had while publishing it for the six years that it was published regularly and I intend to make it a regular occurence again. One of the goals which I have set for myself is to prepare a stencil each week which will add up to a 12 page Newsletter each quarter. 12 Pages (6 sheets printed both sides) is the maximum that can be mailed first class these days for each ounce and that is the only satisfactory way to mail them. So you can expect to receive a 12 page Newsletter each quarter.

Ruth Lavon Rugg Hales.
From the Salt Lake City Tribune: There is always one women in every community who makes it a better place to live because she lives there. Such a woman is Ruth Lavon Rugg Hales of Murray, Utah. For over a year, Ruth spent her spare time and energy contacting people and collecting photographs for a recently published history of Murray. A lifetime resident of the community, she provided information about people, places and activities in the town dating back to the early part of the century. And since she was well acquainted with nearly all of the city’s early residents, she was instrumental in obtaining many of the wonderful photographs in the book. Murray has always been a nice place, but its a better place to live because Ruth Hales lives there. The family of Ruth Lavon Hales joined to celebrate her 80th birthday on Sunday June 8, 1980. Congratulations are in order to Ruth for her long life and community achievement.
