Some Of our citizens enjoyed g
most delightful fishing trip at Ken
wood Beach on Tuesday evening of
last week, "and were they thrilled" to
know that their combined catch num-
bered 232. There were Is in the party
and although they didn't reach home
until the wee small hours some of the
members just couldn't wait until
breakfast to sample their catch; but
got out the frying pan and soon the
inhabitants of the briny deep were
sizzling away to such an extent that
the aroma awoke one of the sleeping
members, who for moment couldn't
tell just what was going on. She dis
covered, however, that cher boys" had
returned and were having a feast
that tasted better at that hour than
real banquet.
Included among the party were Dr.
Yates Barber, Rev. William Elliott
and son, James Elliott, Mayor Will
lam McBain and grandson, George
McBain, Jr., Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
