Although the sun was shining brightly when the affair began, it turned into a "Candlelight shower" as the skies blackened, a violent storm blew up and the whole area was thrown into darkness when all the electricity was turned off.

SHOWING CLASS "Editor: . „ , "I would like to publicly convey my thanks, and ap­ preciation, to the offender(s) who stole my miniature Viking Ship on the morning of the 14th. It's true that you took a chance of getting shot, or going to jail, for a paltry three-horse out­ board engine, but at least you showed some class in doing it. By setting the boat adrift, and not damaging the dragon head, shields, mast or Norwegian flag, you proved that even thieves can have an ap­ preciation of beauty and that which is original. "As you are probably well aware by now, both last year and this, the odds are about two-hundred and fifty to two that you will ever get caught committing a theft from the property owners along the Fox river, (and I personnaly caught the two), but you took your chances and did it with finesse. I must apologize, however, for not keeping the engine up in the best of repair. As you are well aware by now, the starting cord was not in the engine, but laying on the bottom of the boat. I will leave it tied to the front of my pier, in case you would care to stop by and pick it up. "Sincerely, James N. Heard, Sr. "Vallhalla II" women, interested in the Navy, are invited to stop by and talk to Carroll, or call 338-4076 for an office appointment. \97^> ^ /î A OvM • ne^' one brWcnt P'^fe e.butt°n *un,n9 PRICE INCLUDES 90 day carry-in service PRICE INCLUDES 90 day carry in service. mm CHROMACOLOR T h e E X E T E R • D 3 7 2 2 W Compact1 Big screen! 16-inch diagonal Super Chromacolor Portable!
