Observation-Disclosures

Mr.. Samuel Ephraim Harris
(our genial Postmaster) is con-
siderably like a bear, only differ
ent. A bear generally starts to
get ready to hibernate when the
first cold wind strikes him on the
shin bone. Our genial Postmaster
gets ready to hibernate when the
first warm spell strikes his head.
Samuel remarked that if a few
other guys would give up the
anne during the very warm wea-
Their, they would not be so goofy.
But honestly. did you ever meet
a folger who was not just little
bit goofy? But let us get on with
our story.
Mr.. Louis Cruickshank, who is
about to leave our midst, went
out and gave a neat lacing to a
couple of his office pals, in the
i shape and size of Cookie Mesa and
Earl Julian. 1t seems that Louis
got 44-43 while Cookie was max
! ing a coulle of ass. Earl came
along with 95 and lots of fun es-
pecially on number seven when
he had few remarks to make to
and about Uncle Willie.
Tho nEn ont n.
cd genial Postmaster. Mr.. Old Bye
Atwood Sands had to hunt around
for another partner or opponent.
Mr.. Russell Kerr was also doing
likewise and bfeore Irish knew it.,
the Duke of Rock Sound had
caught him. Mr.. Irish reports a
very pleasant time discussing
everything from golf to the eco
nomic situation of the Lapland-
ers and also pretty good score
of 44-4.6 Mr.. Old Bye got to
thinking too much about craw-
fish boulevard in his native hab-
itat and slipped up to 50-47. How
ever, Old Bye claims if his ball
had not hit that little rock he
would have gone 20 yards further,
would have got on the green and
sunk the putt and thereby made
a par. AS it was it turned out to
be a huzzard. However, the Duke
says Irish is very good partner
and a bit speedier than his erts-
while opponent.
Mr.. Bascom Grooms has been
taking lessons in his back yard
He said that he was just waiting
for someone to invite him to a
good turkey dinner match and
then he would bust through with
a good score. A few days ago he
turned in a phenomenal AZ. Again
Thursday he had 40 but still
| managed to make a 100. All of
which gave him great confidence,
ETC., on account of he tied the
score of the sartorial expert of
the electric office. But Freddy
Ayala still lost for the othe rguys
had organized a combine against
him. From now on you will see
where Fred's score will go to 95
on each hole instead of the whole
round. Pete Taylor (son-in-law
to the above) got two 55's while
Ammy Hewitt got SIS and so left
| handed shots.
Mr.. Pious William Watkins be-
ing such a good soul asked to have
Otto Kirchheiner for partner
because he had to do battle to Tim
Pittman and Samuella Goldsmith.
(All this is a joke.) Well, any
way, William did not argue once
on the golf course. Reason: he
had already had same with Tim
Pittman while driving to the golf
course. And so Winsome Willie
was very quiet (and hopes most
other guys will remain SO, too) 8.
When all was over Tim and Sam
had managed to nose out the OPP
position but Willie says he was
not surprised after Mr.. Otto got
101 shots at the ball. But Of
course Otto replied that the
44-46 made by. Pious William was
not much better than Old Bye
Sands could do.
Mr.. Eddie Hurricane Strunk
had a good time. He had six
skins while Doc Willie and Chas.
Salas had one each and Melvin
had nothing But Doc Percival
and Chas. beat the Strunk and
| Russell guys by one up. That is
the way Doc Kemp always figur-
ed the score. A former school
mate says that Willie could new
er count beyond one anyhow and
that is the reason the score al
ways ends as such. Well wait and
see how the Sunday score turns
out. If the score is one for some
body, then that foursome needs
new scorekeeper.
