Pressing Business
Being in a predicting mood, RR
ventures to prophesy that Gordon
Schneider is in for something OF a
ribbing at the next meeting of the
Holtville Rotary club. (Of course,
there's always the possibility that
Dean Richmond, prexy of the club
might agree that Schneider was
pretty smart hombre, after all) At
last weeks Holtville Rotary meet
ing. Gordon ate his fill of turkey
and then excused himself. Some
body said his excuse was rush of
business at the store, but that de-
ponent knoweth not. Anyway, he
left just before the speaker of the
day started his oratory.
Forty-five minutes later the
speaker, returning to Ell Centre,
glimpsed Gordon out on the fair
way at the Barbara Worth golf
club. He was just about As minutes
along on the first nine holes.
Fer Good of The Sport
For the sake of the record, this
little item should be made matter
of public print. 1t concerns D. L.
doctor of Auction Philosophy"
zinn, who auctioneers as hobby
and catfishes as a business. Some
body told Doc one day recently that
soap was the best bait for cat
fish. because they bite on anything
white. Doc bought couple of
bars of the whitest soap he could
find, chose his spot along New
River baited his hook with good
sized hunk of soap, and settled down
to wait He waited. He waited
until the fishermen down below
him began to notice a white foam
of soapsuds spreading out over the
bosom of New River. DOC didn't
get any catfish, but now he faces
the charge that he's been attempt
ing to develop a breed of pre-clean-
ed catfish in Imperial Valley canals
Deserving The Title
For the first time, RR knows why
some people call it Heber Beach
An irrigation canal broke loose
Sunday highland there was every
thing there but surf. 1t was bit
cool, however, for swimming.
In The DOG House
That's where Spermy is today
Spermy. by the way, is the seven
toed cat the immigration border
patrolmen call their mascot. Firmly
believing in Spermy's luck bringing
qualities, the patrolmen took him
tn Yuma Sunday for their pistol
shoot-and lost to the sheriff's Of
flee. To date, Spermy hasn't salts
factorily explained the loss.
\ Adventures of Tux
Speaking of Spermy reminds RR
of his own feline pet, Tux. the cat
that outgrew the tuxedo effect that
gave him his name. Tux during
recent weeks has discovered the
stopper in the bath tub which, wet
or dry is one of his favorite play
grounds. The stopper has become
an item dear to the heart of Tux
It is always a safe guess that the
SbODIJtl. IL lIOlli tllC DdUii
tub is concealed in some corner OF
the house, and will show up again
next time Tux feels playful. When
you get all ready to take bath
and discover at the last minute
there's no stopper for the tub, it's
rather disconcerting. So Mrs. RR
evolved the scheme of placing the
stopper out of Tux reach, on the
edge of the tub. 1t worked! That
!, is. is worked until Monday. Then
Tux. PLAYING as usual when house.
hold vigilance is relaxed, in the
tub. jumped for drop of water
and in the course of his flight
through the air saw the stopper
on the edge of the tub. At last
reports he was still seated in front
of the spot, crying plaintively fol
someone to restore his plaything to
his paws.
