The First Congregational Church in Walla Walla has carillion chimes that
play every day at noon. I'm not in town near them, but think they play
other times as well. The Catholic Church has just regular bells. Those are
very old bells, there since the church was built around 100 years ago.
There used to be a German Church on Willow Street that had very pretty
higher-pitched bells, but the old church, which had been vacant for about 15
years, was torn down to make room for a new clinic building associated with
St. Mary's Hospital.

Speaking of the hospital, it is accepting applications on 5 free houses, one
of which is a 3-apartment building. If the houses are not given away, they
will be torn down. If there are 2 or more families that want the same
house, then it will go to the bid process. These are older, nicely kept
houses, but the "fly in the ointment" is that they have to be moved from
that property to a lot you own. The houses are being given away to make
room for an employee parking lot. One fellow that I heard about moved a
house a couple of months ago from the west side. Since it wouldn't go
underneath the power lines and it needed a new roof, he took the roof off
first. Then...no problem with the powerlines! Good thinking!

> Many years ago, when I was active in church choir, we visited a retirement
center that had what I believe was called a carillon - not sure of the
spelling. The music from that "bell tower" was so beautiful. Does anyone
know what I'm talking about? Kathryn
