This guy Colby. wo-in-one when 1t
comes to superintendencies (mostly
tendencies), is fairly good looking. as
the above photograph proves. You
see Colby used TO pc superintendent of

ministration was running for re-elec-
ton and since the charter amendment
failed and the old administration was
not reelected. it looked like good

commissioners took office. Not SO,
however. for tho big three, Fred. John
and George. called the park supcrin-
tendent into the private office, looked
him over carefully and asked him a
few questions.

Fred z. Olin. Colby told him lot OF
things usually unknown by city COM
missioners. Then Fred asked him
what he knew about streets and Colby
told him a few things about streets
and Fred says.

Pleasure cruises around the world
became an accomplished fact several
years ago when an enterprising Amer
Jean tourist agent chartered an Allan
tic liner and took nearly fifteen hund-
red passengers on double cruise. The
war interrupted this travel, naturally.
but now with the world settling down
again. we learn that these exception
