Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1942-04-02

A group of bus drivers for the
City Rapid Transit were hold
ing a confab in Labor hall last
week. One remarked that busi-
ness houses were going to close
for Good Friday services, and
Harold Price helped the conver-
sation along by stating the buss-
es were going to stop. Paul Fra
ker, another driver, spoke up and
said he had not heard anything
about it. "At each corner" said
Price.
| saw a five pound bass pulled
out of the reservoir east of Fra
zeysburg Sunday afternoon =
but a few overgrown chubs out of
the creek was the best this fish
erman could do and it was darn
chilly getting them. The bass
seem to be taking their time
about hitting the creeks this
spring.
In spite of the snow the first
of the week Spring is all but
here when you hear stories COM
ing from out Bob's way-Yep.
Bob Donaldson's boat landing out
at Avondale-that's the place we
are referring to. My, what tall
stories some turn out to be .
but you know what a gang Of
fishermen do when they get to-
gether, especially on a warm
spring day. Bob hasn't had the
time to do any writing himself,
as yet, for he is busy erecting a
new project. Haven't you seen
il At first we thought the gov
ernment had taken things over,
bu' upon investigation found out
different. The fishermen will be
able to row his boat into dock
now and be right under cover
when he gets out. 1t sure will
DO away with a lot of hard work,
especially in dumping boats.
ant tell you anymore, you will
have to wait until you go out and
see it. Sure, those tales we
heard. Some are the old reli-
abIe-Arthur Ingold just about
threw his arm away to land one
grass pike, one perch and one
little gill * x while on the 9TH
er hand Paul Miller took out his
brand new casting rod (and a
honey and took home three nice
bass y Harry Lytle was out,
no luck we're told Clint
Conner, Oh Boy! a nice bass
(Clyde Kimball, the Granville
street barber) told US, Clint. =
Henry Hall, that police fellow,
caught five cats (weighing in
over 20 pounds of meat) not bad
x x pulled them in just at
dusk Tom Limerick, dan
dy bass about 5% pounds
Butch Fessler-oh we'll, he's been
fishing all winter long anyway
Walt Seeny worked and
tried hard but to no avail 1t
chills US thru and thru to hear
how the boys will suffer to land
the prize beauties, but they say
the early bird catches the fish,
or maybe it's the worm. Just the
same, some day for long there
is going to be great sport,
we don't want to miss out. Well,
SO long, see you down Bob's way
again, soon.
Someone told us the following
but we have been unable to YER
lfy it: That a certain citizen of
Granville, a doctor, went out to
his garage one morning to find
the wheels on his car bare of
tires. Opening the front door he
found a note lying on the seat,
with a quantity of cash. The
note read: Here's the money
for the tires, Doc. You can buy
more-I can't" True or mott
is new wrinkle.
am glad to see that William
Winters, recently elected exalted
ruler of the local Elks lodge is
about again. Bill, as he is known
to his many friends, has had a
tough time since last winter
when he fell in Pittsburgh, Pa,
and broke his leg. In spite of
several complications he fought
the battle through and will be
around without the crutch before
long, too.
Outside of listing William Wat
son as a member of the Noun
ters' union instead of Foundry
Employees union No. 50, last
week; endeavoring to marry off
the Newark Federation of Labor,
and making an executive out of
Robert (Red) Arter, | managed
to get through the week with
one eyebrow cockeyed, leg
dragging, and a trampled spirit.
Then there are people who
wonder why the editor develops
a sour, hangdog look. 1t has Of
