Floating Filling Station

A floating filling station was
hailed and a good 80 gallons
Of fuel put aboard.
A foot to the self -tarter and
the engine started purring like
a Maltese cat under the kitchen
stove in high February.
The "Press Time" skinned
over the CLASSY surface of South
River at about 800 R. P. M.
for about half the distance to
the Bay and all hands were
pitching to themselves how that
"Press Time" was going to
leave those other dories in its
wake come next Saturday at
Herald Harbor.
Now the sun was pretty hot
Sunday. In fact it was hotter
than hot, even with the breeze
the "Press Time" was general

YIELDS
To TURNER

After no little quibbling with
Promoter Joe Turner over eter'
nally throwing Ray Steele in his
path, Champion Jim Londos
agreed to return to Washington
next Thursday and again face the
California Adonis in a Single-fall
match.
Steele's wholesale challengege
to any wrestler in the country to
face him on a Washington mat
has been avoided over the past
week by all the big and little shots
of matdom, and consequently no
bout for him could be found for
the current week.
But after urging by Turner,
who has made many thousand
dollars for Londos in his local
matchmaking, Champion Jim de-
cided to relent and come back for
another fling at one of his most
feared title contenderS.

Gertie Petersen VIII
Leave Court House

Lately, when somebody swung
the economy axe at the county
court house, Gertie Petersen was
the one who got it in the neck.
With taxes coming in as slow as
they are the lower ranks are the
ones who suffer first. The higher
ups hang ON to their jobs with full
pay as long as there is any pay
left.
Gertie has been a clerk in Niels
Madsen's office for many years.
She was probably the one they
could best get along without
could probably have gotten along
without her years ago.
Gertie was good girl, she was
the breadwinner in the family
Whatever she got out of the coun-
ty she divided with the old folks
at home, she saw her sisters thru
high school and normal. In that
family she was the life saver, and
now she is fired.
She is another victim of a sys-
tenn that is slowly but surely die
ing, another one on the bread line.
1t is another attempt Of bringing
back prosperity by putting more
people out of work. If this
is economy then why not go all
the way, why not close the court
house entirely? What good is the
court house to us? Did you ever
stop to figure that out? All OF
those in favor of closing the court
house hold up your right hand

GOLF PLAYERS and
ROAD BUILDERS
(BY HANS RASMUSSEN

The directors of the Plentvwood
Commercial Club, the golf PLAYERS
held luncheon at the West Cafe
and organized themselves. P. G.
Neville, president; A. L. Roser.
vice president; S. E. Paul, secre-
tary, and E. l. Miller, treasurer.
Considerable discussion was also
devoted to finding a way in which
the Commercial Club could work
III cooperation with the county
commissioners, and get the people
who have been receiving relief
from federal funds during the past
several months, to do some work
on the county roads. The Com
mercial club agreed to assist the
commissioners in any way possible
In carrying out this road building
program.
1t is very interesting to see how
interested these golf players are,
when it comes to getting somebody
else to do the road work. To them
some people should play golf,
while others are building roads
for them to travel on in their
swell cars.
Many of these golf players are
getting in ON the fat end of this
government relief, are getting
rake off on every dollar spent, but
it never enters their mind that
they should do any road work for
that part, which they received
without much effort. They are on
the profit end of the relief system
and consider themselves entitled to
play golf.
Out of the $50 spent in the
county so far for relief, it is a
conservative estimate when we say
the store keepers got $4,000 for
their share as profit. That amount
of money will buy lot of golf
clubs and balls, but it would also
buy lot of picks and shovels.
We suggest that the farmers do
like the Commercial Club did, get
together with the commissioners
and help them find way by which
the store keepers could be made
to do some work on the roads for
the share of the relief they have
received. We need the roads but
the idea of having somebody play
golf while others are building the
roads is not going to work.
Furthermore, it is the farmers
who are responsible for bringing
the relief money in here, and not
the golf players. 1t is the farm
ers that the store keepers can
thank for being in business to-
day. Had the golf players had
their way about it we would have
had wholesale starvation in the
county, it is bad enough as it is.
(Acting as they did, at their Com
mercial club meeting, would lead
one to believe that they were the
ones VIII chad furnished the relief
monye, when the fact is that they
have done what they could to keep |
it away from here).
