Wfell, that prophecy has partially been fulfilled this past week, but instead of chickens there were two pheasants in every pot in McCullom Lake and every promise that we may have that extra car in ear garage, providng we can afford to pay the hundred dollars increase in price. To ret hade to the elusive pheasant. For eleven, and a half months of the year these birds clutter up ear reads and back yards and when the law says itfa our turn to mesa 'em up a bit they suddenly disappear for about fifteen days and then when the allclear signal is out they once again emerge from hiding to give us the bird. Our survey shows that McCullom Lake hunters were responsMe for a large number of casualties among the male pheasant population during COMPLETE REPAIR SHOP / Redesigning: r.: : / > Rewinding & Rebuilding mCiiciiiy Lictuit 11 ^ ' BRUCE W.

Sanlo Domingo Once Jewel of Caribbean Columbus' son, Diego, became vice regent of the Dominican islands and built a magnificent palace at Santo Domingo whose ruins still stand today. He gathered around him one of the most brilliant courts of the time -- nobles seeking gold, scientists and explorers, and rich, enterprising merchants. They made the city the glittering capital of the New World and the springboard from which new conquests, were launched. Nunez Balboa who found the Pacific and De Soto, discoverer of the Mississippi, began their adventures there. But the prosperous days of Santo Domingo were short lived. The discovery of enormous wealth in Mexico and Peru soon drained the city of its importance and brilliance. In 1586 Sir Francis Drake sacked and burned the city with such violence that the scars of his plundering still remain on the walls of the cathedral. In 1795 when Spain ceded the eastern portion of the island to France, tile priests of the city removed the ashes of Christopher Columbus from the cathedral to Havana. But in the darkness the priests made a fortunate blunder. They opened the wrong crypt. The coffin taken to Havana and later to Spain did not contain the remains of Columbus but those of his son, Diego. The ashes of the great admiral were later found in a crypt where records showed they had always been. They now rest in a magnificent tomb in the cathedral at Cuidad Trujillo awaiting transfer to the Columbus memorial lighthouse, which ia soon to be built on a hi^h promontory Just outaide the city.
