OFF The CUFF
FILLING THE GAP
By Ralph Snyder


ing this week in old New Orleans,
according to ''viewful" view cards
received here, and may also head
east before returning to his drab
duties as editor of the News
and breeder of fancy chickens.
Years ago, we delighted in writ
ing this column as clean
column until one day a local pas
tor told US, Your stuff is too
tame" That led us to print that
Jot from AL Santilli about the
hemorhoid specialist who won the
reputation of being a super-dooper
pooper snooper. When long
time Catawba subscriber threat
ened to stop her subscription over
that one, we turned this column
over to Sperber in utter despair.
Today's stuff will therefore be
disparagus, which is a kindred
evil to asparagus.

DON STEIN had the pins at
- Clinton Recreation begging for
mercy last Thursday night. He
started off by rolling 655 in the
Standard Products league, then
took a second breath and rolled
612 for the P. C. Herald team in
the Fraternal league. His aver
age for six games in one night
was PIP, missing the 800 mark
only twice in the double series.

THIS may not be news, but it
doesn't happen every day in
Port Clinton. A woman and her
two-year-old child from Tennessee
arrived here via bus Sunday af-
ternoon looking for local young
man who had sent her SIS for bus
fare, presumably as result of
some matrimonial agency CORE
spondence. Police enlisted the aid
of the sheriff's department in Wis
iting the mans home to make
sure he was the right guy. When
he confirmed having sent the fif-
teen bucks, the officers said, "Well,
she's here, go down to the bus
station and get her." So far as
police know to date, everything is
hunkydory.
DORT CLINTON folks who kick
about how long it takes to get
remodeling work done may well
take Lesson from the personality
of Harry Callahan, manager OF
the Clinton theatre. Five days
after buying a home on Sand
Road, Harry had crews of plumb
ers, tile layers, carpenters and
driveway builders on the job, re-
modelling the property for expect
ed occupancy on Nov. 1st.

feed Tuesday. While walking to
work that noon, Veronica South
wood saw hen pheasant stand
ing on the porch of the John
Radloff home. The out-of-place

perch atop the Dewitt Apart
ments.
