water hazards in bigger way

water hazard carries an absolute ne

In past years there have been little

the Golf Committee, headed by Rob-

widened, until today they are real
trouble makers for the gents who

golf course. The shot at the
sixteenth isn't, by any means, the
toughest in the world. nor the long
est, but 1t is quite shot to hit that
green. Likewise the shot from the
back tee at the seventeenth is quite
golf poke. Against north wind it's
more than small wallop to get over
the big hazard that stretches right
across the line of play.
Washington, Congressional, Beaver

Resolutions passed at tie State
meeting were read and Thoroughly

to remain loyal to the national coun-
Gil, to continue to pay the State per
