w. D. Grand, counsel for four OF

For, George, you and are

Fine" said George.
And at this point this darned
old gray head went soft as he
said: George. would you give me
a kiss?"
Would he.
Probably We had better explain
that before we 20 any further
with this story, which, we have
a feeling, In going 10 stretch out
10 quite a tale although Wen

Anyhow, taxi driver Earl Rob-
insou and this writer had set off
from the Winthrop hotel 10 see
if we couldn't pick up the Iss2quah
farmer who was bringing young
wayfarer WeyerhaeuSer home to
relieve the ANXIETY Of the family
and 10 set at rest the fears OF a
nation, II not Of the world.
We spotted the farmer imping
along In his rather ancient auto
mobile, this good man John
Banifas and we turned around and
speeded after him. M~anifestly
there we're two birds to Kill with
one stone here.
The farmer was making Tor
TacOngN police headquarters and
there lie and George would be
surrounded by policemen and
photographers and a whole lot OF
persons with pencils and cav
OF paper and everybody talking
at once and asking questions SO
that Georges curly head would

That was one thought The
other was that there was a father,
a mother, two sisters. n brother
and Uncle Rod and Aunt Eliza

anyhow, At least they'd be there,
waiting turns 70 greet him
George agreed the right thing
10 do was 70 10 straight home and

George and l could only zee the

and we went on talking.
Now this isn't exactly the way

Gosh. his face was dirty, al

I didn't want to make him feel
badly.
We were getting along too fine
to drop a sour note In on our
tete-a-tete.
But one can't imagine George
Weyerhaeuser feeling badly about
anything about this time. He was
Just bubbling over.
