at Kat Breedlove's at the Breedlove
famlly Reunion two summers ago.
Ahat was the day I saw more good
something good to eat on one table
at one time, than 1 had ever before
seen or tried to help eat. Folks were
there figuratively speaking from
Maine Ito Florida, and from New York
to California, and literally speaking
from Virginia to South Carolina and
from Asheville to Hatteras.
I never felt so helpless and so I'M
necessary in all my life than when
Mr.. Breedlove called on me to ask
the blessing. I got so excited that I
almost started saying, "Now 1 lay
me down to Sleep" but wound up by
saying, Thank God for Dinner" And
WHAT a dinner!
So much for Stanley Ellington.

Mr.. Hendrick married their daughter,

Today someone took Mr.. Bob Crit

one else, but 1 am not going to tell

One of the eight or ten Moss broth

whether it was an overall suit, a
bathing suit, a baseball suit, cow
boy suit, or a Sunday suit.
The thunder and lightning this
morning makes us thing that spring
is almost here. Can't remember
when 1 have ever heard thunder be-
fore. I suppose that the terrapins
turned lots of folks hands lose when
they heard it.

OF Taxes on u. :.

North Rundie Citizens
Call for $ll,375,000
From Government

Opposing the sales tax and the
business privilege levy, but pointing
out that some additional source OF
revenue for the District is necessary
to carry out improvements asked,
the North Randle Community Citi-
zens' Association last night urged
the Federal Government to pay real
estate taxes on its District property
at the same rate private citizens
now do.
This would net the District SILL
$4,000 annually, according to esti-
mates reported by Harry Glemser,
delegate to the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations, and more than
double the $5,0O0,000 lump sum now
paid the District. Federal property
has an assessment value of $3.50, 0,000,-
600, he reported.
The sales tax was voted down
unanimously, while the business
privilege tax was attacked by
Thomas C. Bethel, also a delegate
to the Federation of Citizens As
sociations. as inequitable. He said

reported a proposed rezoning from

lots near Minnesota avenue and Eli

rezoning. North Randle commu-
nifty is now entirely residential.
Mr.. Wood also charged that No. II
precinct is "woefully understaffed"
but commended Capt. Hugh S.
Groves for the work of the officers
under him. The association last

new police precinct with the station

The 1898 pennant race, Walker said,

"Cleveland's got this Feller and I'm
telling you that he's a man-not
boy" said the popular player who
batted for a right neat 1876 average
last year.
I've seen Grove, Gomez, Rowe and
the other fast boys, but none OF them
could be any faster than Feller."
Walker said "Why, that kid might
have won 35 games last year If he
hadn't had sore arm early in the
season.

I'm NOT poor hitter, and I'm
not great hitter but I am fair

Hes learning fast, too, and that's
one reason I'm glad I won't be around

going to make plenty of batters suf-

This is getting on the more sensible
side. Football is a swell runner-up-

In these California open tourna-

around in 74-against others who hit
only II greens in par and get around
in 6S or 69-because they can hum
the dulcet tunes the chip shot and
the putter sing.
Football comparisons make almost
no sense. But golf still leads. Here's
an example. A little while back, Hi

can take his golf on either the serious

before he could qualify to putt.

each trap Turnesa had a rough time
hitting one and the dubs had even
