9$:s s$s EL CENTRO CLERK KILLED,
- FIVE ESCAPE IN WRECK


The Horseshoe Club
Maybe he is just trying to divert
attention from his own Yellow
stone Park fiasco, but B. E. Lemons
Is authority for the story that Bill
Clements and Ed Hall are candi-
dates for the Horseshoe club, hav-
ing gone fishing the other day with
Bills daughter, Kay, and having
come home without any fish, where
as Kay nabbed two beauties. It's
almost habit with her.
The Girls Clever
Not only does Kay Clements spe-
cialize in fishing however. Rh
walked smack up against an I'M
promptu art exhibit the other day
before he realized what 1t was,
but the biggest shock of all was
the realization that the work was
kay's. It is sort of shock, you
know, to realize all of sudden,
for the first time, that someone
you've known for quite while mas
the ability to do something ike
that-and beat a lot of professionals
at it.
Beyond Expectations
For some time now, Mrs. Clinton
McCann has been assuring her
friends that there couldn't possibly
be more than twins In the expected
family of her wire-haired terrier,
shes such little dog" Mrs. NC
Cam explained The family arr1V-
ed - or was arriving - THURSDAY
morning, however, and at the last
count there were five little wire
hairs, and another was on the way
O.
It's The Weather.
Dan West tells it on himself
Realizing that he was becoming
drowsy behind the wheel OF hi'
car. Dan decided to pull off the
road and take a nap. Suiting TINT
motion to the thought, he TWISTED
at the wheel. That was the las
thing he remembered. When Daf
woke up. the car was in the ditch
somewhat farther than he hat
intended to drive it-but everything
was snug otherwise. RR can heal
Dan muttering to himself how
tickled he was that he woke up

Another Fisherman
Bob Whitelaw, jr., may not have
such a firm grasp on this lawyer
business, but there's one thing nj
can give Dad odds on-and ther
beat the socks off him! Attorney
Bob is something of an expert deep
sea fisherman in his own right
but Young Bob not only talk
a better fishing trip than his dae
he fishes one. At least, according
to Dad.
The Coming Leaders
Calvert Moody, attending tn'
American Legion-sponsored Boys
State at Sacramento, took occa'
sin when several Imperial county
bows we're elected to high offic'
0argely because of the campaign
work of 20 youths from this coun'
ty to comment on a postcard tt
friends here that, maybe, the, gov
ernor wouldn't be chosen frotn th'
imperial county delegation, but, a
least. "they know Imperial count,
is on the map
If those lads continue to liv'
here. seems to RR there's no neet
to fear for our county's future.
