death of David Lindimore, we didn't
tell him all. David, the fiddler
now they call it violinist, David fd-
died and we are sure If all the peo-
pie in the world could have heard
him in competition with "Pader
what you call him." David would
have scored 90 out of a possible 100.
Oh yes, he worked-saw milled.
Some folks who were lucky might
or may think he didn't go far. But
we are saying David made more peo-
pie happy, loosened more stiff joints,
than all the rheumatism medicine
ever concocted. Let us write it into
our record David will be remember
ed long after the funerals of some
of our rich who charged seven per-
cent when six was enough.

it has been folks with property-or
a good job. Please do me favor,
to-wit: Figure out how much Nor

is-then figure how much the post
office, school buildings, streets,
roads and so on that Morgan county
has, that helped to make this debt. !

Over Dismissal

resignation was asked in early Oc-
tober. At that time the grounds
were "inefficiency' and the proposed
dismissal brought a storm of pro-

by citizens meetings and eventual
reinstatement.
When that storm blew over, Hart
zog announced that Guest had been
reinstated in the interests of har-
mony.
The Calipatria division has held
the district spotlight for several
months, since the Albert Pond case
broke" early in September. At
that time Pond, a former division
water clerk, was accused of misap-
propriating funds and an investi-
CATION led to his indictment late
last week on SO counts.
Inquiry into the Pond case and
study of various water accounts
and bills laid the foundation for
the grand jury's criticism of dis
trict organization. During the grand
Jury investigation water clerks from
virtually all divisions were ques-
toned in what must have been
comparison of operations in Cali
patria with those in other divisions.
The grand jury records of testi-
mony and findings will remain Sc
cret, however, until Monday. Al
that time the 10 days required by
