You show your true boating colors by the speed at which you pass a gasoline dock or where boats are circl ing and wait ing their turn to come in and fuel up. High speed produces high wake. And small boats, with low transoms can take ^in water from such a wake, or even capsize. At the very least , the wake will cause discomfort to others, and brand the offender as an unthinking fel low with l i t t le regard for others Mary Ann Wegener and her melodious voice at tracted us to the hand concert in the park Thursday night As usual she went over big with the crowd.

A 21-13 football game can' t be al l bad. At least they were evenly matched. Most of us have seen much worse games with the big s tars performing. The White Sox weren' t on TV Sunday afternoon so we watched that team from the North Side. Don' t know why Whitey Lockman up and left that team in mid-season They aren' t that bad One real pro is Joe Torrie of the Cardinals He has al l the actions We had the good fortune to watch the Cardinals ' rookie pitcher, McGlothin. in a spring training game - and the White Sox had the misfortune of batt ing against him He was the best pi tcher we saw Our Girl Friday Marie didn' t get to see her favori te, Don Kessinger, hi t that resounding tr iple in the All-Star game and may never get over the disappointment. We joined the one and only , lohn "Pa" Thennes in celebrating his 90th bir thday Sunday. Father Hugh announced the event as the 80th bir thday at noon Mass. George P.
