On the
Reef
By B IL L P H E L P S
As we have said a n u m b e r of
tim es in th e p ast, we o ften w ish we
w ere in th e g a rb a g e b u sin ess. . . .
(and along a b o u t now som eone a l
w ays says we a re ). T h is w eek,
m ore th an e v e r before, we w ish we
w ere doing so m eth in g else.
Because th is is one of th o se
w eeks. And th e only good th in g
ab o u t it is you'll p robably n ev er
read this anyhow , b ecause, a t th e
m om ent, w e’re not at al, su re w e’re
going to get a n e w sp a p e r out.
It began w hen we took a flying
trip to San F ran cisco — an d o u r
194S Ford, w hich is p robably th e
m ost d isre p u ta b le c a r In C u rry
county co llap sed . One day late, we
phoned from San F ra n c isc o — to
find th a t o u r lin o ty p e o p e ra to r, on
loan from th e M edford Mail T rib
une, had been recalled and we d id
n 't have any.
W e lim ped in M onday at m id
n ight, and T u esd ay , we found an
o p erato r. W edn esd ay th e lin o ty p e
broke down.
W ell, t h a t ’s th e w ay sh e sta n d s
rig h t now. As I said, if you ev er
get to read this, I’ll be very s u r
prised. And if you do. you'll note
th e p ap er th is w eek is n ’t one of
o u r best. Pv a hunch th a t w hen we
get out, it will be w ith o u t a s m uch
new s as we should have, and p ro b
ably w ith less pages.
And. in cid en tally , how do you g et'
in to the g a rb a g e b u sin e ss?
Som ew here else In th is p a p e r
th e re should be a sto ry on an alt-
boat built by Rex H ayes. W h at
th e story (an d Rex) d o e sn ’t say
is th a t he pulled th e o ld e st b o n er
in th e w o rld - b u ilt it too big to get
it out. You should ta k e a look at
his g arage, w hich has an e x c e e d
ing ly m u tila te d e n tra n c e . But he
did get it out.
And w hat do you know ! W e got
th e pap er out, too!
