Others say they wouldn't want to start over again. They think the world in general and many of the people have changed too much. Too much turmoil. Whatever our views, time marches on and there is no choice. Whatever may be said for unleaded gasoline, it has an odor like eggs that have been left in the nest too long. Had some time off Tuesday so turned the TV to the Cub- Montreal game. That was a long ordeal -- 13 innings - and the Cubs lost 4 to 3. Of course, the Cubs were guilty of a couple of boo:boos on the base paths that didn't help their cause. Watching those giant, well fed Reuschel brothers pitch convinced us that Paul is the most improved this year. Well, I'll let Herman Franks worry about those Cubs. Right now there is work to be done with our White Sox., How is your asparagus doing? Our bed isn't producing the way it should. Arnold Rauen is always offering ad­ vice on air conditioning, /wind­ mills' and such mechanical things. Think I'll ask hmi to spade up the asparagus bed^the next time he shows up. (That will be the day!) While on the subject of gardening, here's a note to "Biff" Meyer: I entered into a contract with Ed and Ethel Blake to plant your popcorn seed on their farm. Couldn't find a team of horses to plow up our back yard. Just heard about a new golf ball that is designed to cut down hooks and slices fifty percent. That might be an inducement to take up the game. After all that rain Saturday night, along came a Kansas dust storm in this area on Sunday. How could it be? With early deadline for next week, it is time to get started on another column. A hint came through that we wouldn't have to get too iengthy so this is it for this one. Warrior Ball Team * .
