Well, I busted in last Friday night where . . . they say . . . angels fear to tread . . . had my say and out again without starting an argument with anybody . . . truth of the matter is there was none there to argue with outside of a little Mike . . . and that's once when Joe Elliott couldn't argue a point-with me. . . I'm speaking about Station KEHE. Told all the folk . . that is I hope some were listening . . all about it . . . and it only took me four and a half minutes . . but then I'm improving . . last time I could only talk 3 minutes you know all these radio talks are minute affairs. Found something else out too there's a guy calls himself Smitty that has a hamburger joint near the station . . no he didn't recognize his long lost namesake . . I paid the bill. . The place is called Smitty's Polo Stable . . and the owner's name is Harry . . and that brings to mind. . Some few months it was learned here that I was an ex-convict ROTARY CLUB HEAR ARMY MAN EXPLAIN DEFENSE OF PACIFIC COAST Dr. Ralph Waltz Chosen As New President of Club Coastal defense of the Pacific were explained to the members of the Anaheim Rotary Club last Monday noon, when Major Ben Blair, of Fort McArthur was the speaker for the occasion. Major Blair stated that defenses along the Pacific were important although at present somewhat inadequate. "We have no fear of attack from a foreign country. It stands to reason that in order for a foreign fleet to make a successful raid that a landing party of sufficient magnitude must follow an attack to hold what gains might be made." The speaker then told of the comparative sized guns within the defenses and those aboard a battleship. Ladies Entertained Of Kiwanis "Ladies' Day" was observed at the meeting of the Kiwanis club Tuesday noon at the Elk's club house with Joe Clay as program chairman. Musical numbers, presented by the high school Mozart quartet and orchestra were features of the afternoon. Numbers by the orchestra included the march, "Sound Off" (Sousa); overture to "The White Queen" (Metra), "Swing Along" (Cook); "In Monastery Garden" (Ketelby); and "Drum and Xylophone Novelty" (Alford). The orchestra is under the direction of Joshua Williams. "Blue Swan" (Mueller, "Scar Dance" (Chaminade); and "Sing a Song of Sixpence" from the Mother Goose Suite (Horton; were selections by the Mozart Girl Quartet, directed by Miss Helen Ellers. The personnel of the first group includes: Miss Mary Show, Miss Helen Pifer, Miss Dorothy Pratt, Miss Eleanor Davis, Miss Anna Claire Mauerhan, Miss Bessie Marie Edwards, Miss Mary Huniker, Miss Evelyn Bowman, Edsel Mickle, Wayne Held, Duan Wilder, John Stewart, Elwyn Burns and Chris De Soto. Found something else but too there's a guy calls himself Smitty that has a hamburger joint near the station . . . no he didn't recognize his long lost namesake . . . I paid the bill. The place is called Smitty's Polo Stable . . . and the owner's name is Harry . . . and that brings to mind . Some few months it was learned here that I was an ex-convict from somewhere back east . . . I don't remember the state . . . but now comes the info that Harry Campbell is wanted by the G-Men . . . They put $2,500 on his scalp so if you want to collect here's your chance . . . course Harry'll state emphatically . . . now . . . that his right name's Heyden. Ain't it funny how they catch up with all us Big Guys? Harry says that now since the Goshmen believe all Enemy No Ones are yellow . . . he has decided not to accept the No. 1 position now vacant . . . because he's against the yellow peril anyhow. The Rotary club has reverted to ye olden times . . . and how well, anyway . . . they have put the Waltz ahead of everything . . anyway Ralph will have his say . . maybe. Something was called to my attention in last week's paper which I perhaps should explain . . it seems that the story about Bill Webb's horse . . . which ended up "Warts to be done about it" was immediately followed by "Call 3456 . . Thos. H. Kuchel lawyer etc" well there's little wrong with that . . can't the lawyers of the city confer . . they tell me the doctors do . . the only thing Leo Friis says that he don't know anything about warts . . wonder if he knows anything about callouses. Of course, he knows a Calliopsis or correopsis (the latter meaning "any of any cultivated species.") You know when a young man starts buying insurance . . he's considered sensible . but when he starts buying more insurance then well then he is believed adequate. "We have no fear of attack from a foreign country. It stands to reason that in order for a foreign fleet to make a successful raid that a landing party of sufficient magnitude must follow an attack to hold what gains might be made." The speaker then told of the comparative sized guns within the defenses and those aboard a battleship. Birthdays were observed for Tom McFadden, Alfred Bonney, Charles Fay, George Griffith.

From the Halls of Montezuma (that's in Old Mex you know Dale) to the shores of Tripoli (and that's in Turkey) however, you were fishing weren't you? But then who couldn't surround a turkey anytime. And all this time... I really thought he was sensible... well anyone who tries to peddle chili hamburgers... Herb, old thing... the folk hereabout want hot hamburgers... my, my that's a faux pas. ...
