Well you can go on from there, but the truth of the matter is that two of our leading exponents of Isaak Walton made a sneak last Monday night.

It behooves, therefore that we take back the incinnations we have made and admit that this time at least he proved to be a real fisherman. Just how much "Doc" Arnold had to do with the catch is unknown but Dale left enough fish for us all. He says it's a yellowtail but we're inclined to believe it's a whale. way, leaving the corner of Clementine and Center after the closing of "Doc" Arnolds Drug Emporium and Fish Story headquarters. Yessir, believe it or not, "Doc" is still taking on instruction from Buzzard Smith, and they really claim they're going to raid the yellowtail camp of the Pacific.

Keath Jr., Shows Dad Just How A Fish Is Landed at Catalina Ed Keath, has for some months past, taken an expert on fishing trips with him, where he (Mr. Keath of course) might learn the fancy art of landing the big ones, and now he finds that the experts advice was superfluous as far as Ed is concerned because the art of Isaak Walton has permeated his own home and though very quietly, the master of the art is none other than Ed Jr. It seems that the Keath family vacationed a couple weeks ago at the famed island of the Pacific and Ed Jr., tried to get Ed Soto match ability with the result that Ed Jr., landed a nice sized Tuna and Ed Sr., refused absolutely to aid the young man...but much to the elder's surprise the Tuna landed aboard with the young man very nonchalant over the feat. Now Ed Sr., says he won't worry about expert advice outside his immediate family.

Hoskins, with the assistance of Mrs. Mary E. Coons, has been successful in compiling a list of family members of the different postmasters who have served the local postoffice since its inception in 1861. Mrs. Coons has arranged to entertain the group of descendents at a dinner just previous to the dedication ceremonies. The following have been located: Mrs. Dora Bain and Fred J. Fischer, both of Los Angeles, son and daughter of John Fischer who opened the local postoffice in 1861 and acted as the first postmaster from 1861 to 1868. Carl Van Gulpen was the second postmaster, and to date Hoskins has been unable to locate any of his family. The same is the case in Alphonso W. Steinhart Placentians Cop Cop’s Gas; Caught Two men from the La Jolla district in Placentia played again at great odds last Sunday morning when they attempted to drain gasoline from a parked car in front of 649 North Clementine Street. The extracting of gasoline might have been all right, and the fact that the car was parked against the curb all to the merry, but the owner of the car as a rule dislikes the habit of someone else using his gasoline, even though the fluid is transferred to a different vehicle.

Coleman Hickey of Anaheim, a veteran hiker, was appointed chairman for this have been all right, and the fact that the car was parked against the curb all to the merry, but the owner of the car as a rule dislikes the habit of someone else using his gasoline, even though the fluid is transferred to a different vehicle. However, when Tony Dominguez and Ernest Rangel, both of La Jolla district selected the "base of supplies" they neglected to check upon the white slip and that is where they slipped. The car is the property of Oscar Kelley, who makes his living by patrolling the highways on a motorcycle, and just to make matters even more complicated for the would be users of O. P. gasoline, Kelly came upon the refuelers while the transfer was being made. The two attempted to "light out" which was still another mistake because Mr. Kelly was on his motorcycle and being trained to follow automobiles had little difficulty in overtaking the fleeing car. And now the two gentlemen from La Jolla won't need any gasoline for the next thirty days, unless it be to clean their reputations. FRIENDLY INDIANS OF Y. M. C. A.
