Surely, that short stretch could have been done to make a finished job of it.

One little gy about 4 years old, was walking past one of the hardware stores with his sand pail and shovel, when he spied a tricycle sitting outside on the sidewa]k. He dnopped the pail and shovel and climbed aboard the bike, his short legs pumpîng like crazy as he sped away. Fortunately, another menchant spotted the lad making his escape and eventually persuaded him to return his prize. t t 1- + FRUSTRATING - According te reports, Mr. and Mrs. Murray Tighe and friends were camp- ing Iast weekend in the Bon Echo area.
