The Place and The Cause
When We first heard this story
we felt a common bond with one
Herman McGhee, something under
five years of age. We know lust
how he felt. And where.
The small colored boy went on
fishing excursion with his two
aunts, Mrs. Louise Lucas and Mrs.
Minnie Harrison of Ell Centro and
he was as excited as any boy could
have been, particularly when a cat
fish nibbled his bait
But late in the evening a sour
note crept into the holiday and
it was noticeable in his behavior.
No longer was he shouting with glee
and daring those fish to bite.
What's the matter with you son?"
one of his aunts inquired.
These mosquitoes :" Herman

SIGNS OF SUMMER

The summer is actually upon US
With all the loneliness 1t has to bring
The robins the thrushes, the whippoorwill,
And the pesky misquito with Its deadly sting.
on all sides It's apparent
We've entered the season careless and casual,
Be-wedged, be-slacked, be-dark-spectacled,
Working up to 1t sort Of gradual.
Who you ask, when you go window shopping,
Wears all those doodabs for play2
Doesn't anybody do anything at all
But lounge on a beach all dayp
How about the busy stenographers,
And the higher-ups who dictator
Should they go to work looking like Lido Beach
They would probably get the gate.
Nobody in summer has time for hat
You wind bit Of stuff round the bean,
There's no percentage In buying hat,
Say the young femmes Of sixteen.
The summer Is actually upon us,
It's sabots, peasant frocks and shorts,
BY the looks Of clothes when shopping about
Everybody goes in for sports

manded by the public need. The

up the situation.
Jesse Pawling asked that the park
police be requested to have an officer
stationed at the Pierce Mill by Beech
Drive in the park during the rush

acute enough to warrant a traffic
light at all times, was nevertheless
serious enough in the mornings and
evenings to call for some sort OF
control.
Charles F. Hyer. secretary of the
association, introduced q motion to
have q sign erected at the bus
crossing at the top of the hill near
Colorado avenue and Kennedy street
to indicate that the busses turned

occurred there and the hazard
should be remedied.
