directors meeting last week elected
S. D. Townsend as vice-president, in
place of Charles C. Kurtz, recently re-
signed. Mr.. Townsend known more
familiarly to his friends as "Beryl"
Townsend will begin active duties
November l. He will thus resume a
position he so admirably filled for
many years. He is a son of the late
George L. Townsend, Sr., of Odessa,
and is well and favorably known in
this vicinity. Mr.. Townsend left the
Wilmington Trust Company several
years ago to become a member of the
prominent and prosperous investment
banking firm of Laird, ,Bissell & Needs
of Wilmington. He took a happy and
important part in the large success
that firm has attained.
About year ago, however, his
health became impaired, and he was
forced to a long vacation. Happily,
he has fully recovered, but his ply
sicians strongly recommend he shall
not undertake again the important
and confning duties which the great
activities of this firm require, and the
directors of the Wilmington Trust
Company were therefore able to re-
secure his services.

sell and Needs express the creates

least the only white woman, who ever
has shot the rapids in the Colorado
river in Grand Canyon. This young
woman seems to have inherited the
intrepid part of the nature of her
father and uncle, Ellsworth Kolb,
both of whom won fame years ago
by their Colorado river exploits, and
keep adding to it.
Miss Kolb's dad is head boatman
for the u. S. government expedition
now surveying $50 miles of the river
through Grand and Marble Canyons.
When they reached the foot of Bright
Angel trail last month, Miss Kolb
was among those waiting there. They

LUCKY CUSS
GETS IN JAIL
OF
BEING WE'D

Passing flock Of bad checks to
buy clothes and get change to pay the
expenses of getting married didn't get
Gordon Walton married, but it did get
him into city Jail and secured for the
prospective bride an order to "float
out of town."
Walton is 81 years old. He says
he's from Philadelphia. The bride
once-to-be, who is about 30, arrived
here from Phoenix with girl friend
about three months ago, about the
same time Walton did. They worked
in restaurants.
The last of last week the Dresswell
Shop got two of Walton's checks, j.
C. Penney Co. one, j. c. Brown one
and the Bargain Store one. In some
cases Walton got change for part Of
the face value of the checks.
Tuesday morning Walton ard the
woman got a marriage license from
County Clerk Tom L. Rees. The min
lister was engaged for the ceremony,
but Deputy Police Marshal J. D. jack
son gave the minister tip that this
was one wedding likely not to come
off. And it didn't, the arrest coming
20 minutes ahead of the time set for
the nuptials.
Walton wired back to Philadelphia
friends for money to redeem the
checks and is being held pending re-
suits. The ladies have gone.
