requirements.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gordon, San Diego,
arrived in town on the 3rd to spend a few
days with the Minthornes, Laymons, Mac
Mohr and other local coin luminaries.
Harry figured he should start home on the
6th for something told him he should. It
was good that he did for the County Board
of Supervisors were at work during his
absence and had their surprise waiting for
him upon his arrival. (See news report
elsewhere in this issue.)
Allen
Anderson, Shafter, was in on
the 3rd to pick up equipment at local j-ob-
bers. Allan stopped in to chin with Mac
Mohr about the good old days before this
and that.

with Badger Sales for Mills Three and Four
Bells to be shipped to San Francisco and

reports are coming from the doctors. The
Carter children are in a Girls' School dur-

tion.

mits. Tommy handles Decca records, paints,
radios, and h~lf a dozen other items ex-
clusively for the islands. AND, if you run
into Tommy, make him prove his star
sapphire has a six prong star. It's a 7%
carat beauty.

a new servi'ce for western operators. His
firm is now repairing, refinishing, repaint-

we comment, he'll get them. Accompanying
Jack on this sortie will be the faithful Jack
