had seven pars, a bird and was
over on one hole going out and
was still cruising along steadily
with three pars starting the back

missed a short putt.

Furgol, who had high praise

himself few puts of over five
feet. His five brides more than

clothing specialist Of the Uni

Fluffy ruffles, huge bows and

it almost impossible for a

himself is one of the first ways
in which the child learns to be

She recommends simple trim

Each motorist and each pedes-

walking sanely," he said.
THE Highway Department reports
that traffic volume for the first five
months of 1947 were more than Is
per cent higher than for the same
period during 1941. That means
that there will be, in all probability,
greater traffic this week end than
we had on the long Friday, Saturday
and Sunday Fourth of July week end
in 194l, during which 81 traffic
deaths we're recorded
