And Then Someone Ate The Evidence
AND THE GASOMETRIST LOST IT
There is a story about three prominent members of the Isaak Walton Club of Anaheim stepping out to make way with the larger of the finned species who debate over the hook of poor mortal man.
They proceeded their merry way (the three Waltonians) with verbal abberations as to each individual ability to garner the elusive what ever it was they were to catch.
One in particular who registered for the trip as a gasometrist emphatically, (as is his habit) stated that he would gather unto himself the largest of the surface tribe. The others in the group sought to differ with him. The pool was set with the result that an insignificant leader pellet was attached to the line of the expert who withdrew from the briny deep a choice morsel which he stated was known to the multitude as a sea bass.
The veracity of the gasometrist was doubted by the two remaining members of the crowd, so much to the disappointment of the fin-fetcher, the finner was called a tom cod and to prove the issue one other member of the trusting trio accepted with alacrity the invitation to try it out (unknown to the donor). In other words:
Dale Smith, Ted Masterson and Doc Childress went fishing last week.

Barnes has long been a research worker in connection with economics and is now associate editor of the Glendale Weekly Times. Ted E. Felt of the Pomona District Area, of which he is manager, also appeared on the program as a speaker but confined his remarks largely to announcements of expected happenings in the Townsend Movement.
