We had; but in the Interval be fore it began moving to the base ment, the doorbell rang half a dozen more times, and each time the inquirer was a nice looking ycung fellow, unmistakably a lad willing and able to do almost any kind of work. Not one asked for a "handout" or anything other than a job. All smiled as they went away. Many of you have encoun tered the same thing. It wasn't the first time for as. And we look oat upon the world with a hard boiled eye, for- the most part. Bat it's pitiable. Much has been said and something has been done to help. Relief funds wont meet the emergency. Di viding up the Jobs that exist Is the only solution we can see. untU times Improve. Sharkey and Kay, out at the Salem Golf club, have been doing a lot of Improvement work this winter, the biggest thing being the transplanting of many trees onto the course, mostly in the area be tween adjoining fairways. They can't fool us. The idea is to elim inate us two-fairway players and force us into the straight and narrow way. Nevertheless it will help a lot, especially the already excel lent appearance of the course. Most of the trees planted are ash, maple and fir with a few locusts. And by the way, Sharkey says It anybody has a tree small enough to be moved '(under about six Inches, at the base) and wants to get rid of it, he'll be glad to take it and bring earth to fill the hole. You can telephone him at 7849. Why Sippy, how you talk! Did the shoe pinch, or some thingT, Or why the snappy and unkind retort? Personally, we never had any ambition to be a .hack driver; we yearned to be come a sailor. That explain a lot of things, including why we're all at sea and continually sounding our foghorn.
