Yes. you have succeeded in getting

you seemed to be enjoying the chick.
1t wasn't so bad, after all, was it?
Rations may be your line, but every
one you see (Viv) isn't looking for ra-
tions.
What happened to the photograph

these days.
1t was the opinion of many that the
Hi-lites on the WACs was a good
column; what happened to it? Base
ball is a wonderful sport when you
can play it so good isn't IDS. But it
is said that cooperation sometimes
helps.g
So 1t was said that there wouldn't
be any WACs at the picnic given by
the Apache Sentinel Staff. Well, the
laugh is on you for there We're more

Declaring that he deserted
from the army more than two
years ago and never had been
questioned about his status, Henry
Nelson Speanburg, 23, waited in the
Imperial county Jail Wednesday for
military police to take him "to
face the music
Deputy Sheriff Harold Warner
found Speanburg in Winterhaven
Tuesoay and turned him over to
Sheriff Robert w. Ware for ques-
tioning. Speanburg said this was
the first time a law enforcement
officer had questioned him about
his army status since he deserted
two years ago last May at Colum-
bus, Ohio. When he could not pro-
duce draft card or discharge pap
ers at Wares request, Speanburg
reaCily admitted that he was an
army deserter.

"I knew they would catch up
with me sooner or later" he told
Ware, Il expected 1t before this. I
was questioned by police once when
