Suddenly; Death
Gave No Warning
Well Known and Well Respected
Citizen of Nashon Drops Dead
In His Home

The community was shocked this
week to learn of the death OF w. /.
Johns, which occurred. without warn
ing, Monday evening. While Mr..
Johns had for some time been suffer-
ing with chronic stomach complaint,
his condition was apparently improv-
ing, and he had been told by his
doctor that he would soon be entirely
we'll.
Monday being the first day OF his
vacation Mr.. Johns had spent it in
resting about the house. In the even
ing, he, Mrs. Johns and Helen had
been listening to the radio. and had
just been particularly amused by some
part of the program, when he fell from
his chair unconscious. Life was ex-
tinct by the time help reached him.
Although employed by the North
western Mutual Fire Association Mr.
Johns has lived on the Island for the
past ten years, going back and fortl
to his work

OF quiet disposition he has
through his splendid traits gained

of him. and admiration for his sterling
qualities of character.
The home life of the Johns famil,
stands out as ideal, and Mr.. Johns de.

two children they have reared a.
splendid citizens. That Helen, who

SOME FISHING FACTS

Hedru any IlSIl StOrleS JnlS week!
Take this one with grain of salt.
Several members of recent fishing
party are accused of being affiliated
with the local AnaniaS Club. Having
retained sufficient integrity to bar me
from membership in that organiza-
tion, I take upon myself the obliga-
tion of warning the public, and off
setting the i'll effects of any hot air
that may have floated down from the
Olympics during the Fast week.
However. will say that the fishing
was not so bad. Some very big ones
were hooked, mote that said hooked
The largest specimen hooked mot a
trout. however, had to be taken to
Sequim to have the hook extracted by
an expert. Ask Wallace Beall about
it. And will say here, that Wallace
is good fisherman, and g game one.
Ii you have any doubts about it, try
to follow him.
If you hear John Podich grabbing
aout the fish not biting, ask him
about the misquitoes. If you see him
going around slapping himself in the
face, don't be alarmed he has merely
developed the swatting habit, and will
come out OF 1t in time.
If you hear Claude Shride Dragging
about the fish not biting, ask him
about the mosquitsoe. If you see him
day before, twenty-one inches long,
and considering 1t too heavy to carry
threw 1t back in the river. have a
mean hunch that this identical fish,
chafing from a sore gill, may possibly
have recognized in Claude the ear
marks of former medical student
and was merely seeking surgical re-
lief. OF course Shride doesn't accede
to this theory, but suggest it. lest he
lead credulous persons to believe he
had been on whaling expedition, in
stead OF a fishing trip.
II you want to meet an ardent fish
erman, page Long Thomas. the junior
member of the party. He would
rather fish than eat, and that is saying
n mouthful. The only way to get him
into camp was to take his fishing rod
away from him. Then this human
giraffe would actually pour coffee
down his neck, and throw in "sinkers'
to hear them splash. On breaking
camp he devoured everything but the
dishes. cleaned out the larder on the
Seabeck ferry, and on reaching Harper
yelled Hot Dogl", but the shop was
closed, and the poor boy went home
hungry.
Space will not permit me to go into
details in this narrative. but you will
probably get them on the local broad
cast. l will say, however, that the
members of this fishing party were
satisfied with results. Each man
made record. Wallace Beall caught
the most; Shride the biggest. Podich
the most out of one hole; 1 made the
record of hooking a couple at one
throw; Tommy caught the first one
and ate the last one.
Anyone contemplating fishing trip
in the vicinity of Dungeness river.

will find & number of hooks, sinkers.
leaders, and something like forty feet
of line concealed in the inward cavity
of the biggest fish in the stream.
Help yourself to the tackle. but spare
the fish, as Tommy expects TO go back
next season and recover his catch.

statements are correct Further refer
