TELLS ROTARIANS Yesterday while my dear wife was snoozin rather late, I sneaked out to the garden where I dug a can of bait. How I thrilled to see the sunlight dancin tiptoe on the peaks like it alius does in summer durin them first fishin weeks. I could hear the dandy king-fishgo flittin long the stream in his white cravat and as he has in every dream s budded and the since the vines got tall and in as summer are alius while youre fishin long they thipk thq crick. I ate my breakfast pronto and Amandy says, Wy, John, so bright and happy that there must be something look you on. Then I chuckled oer my bacon and I winked my tearful eyes, for Im mighty poor at bluffin and no' good at tellin lies. Dont you know today is Thursday, yep, today the month of June has reached its summit, Mandy, and the Fourth is cornin soon. Then I dropped my fork and kin and I left at double quick I could hear the mewin in the bushes long the crick. On yesterday, I grannie, jest a mortal, as I be, I really spent in heaven, just as happy, dont you see, as the angels that are flittin up and down the golden stair, or the orches-tr- y thats playin all them banjos over there, for the trout was fresh and sportive and the water Tt was fine, and the day was1 so darned perfect I could1 hardly watch my line. But the best of all was bein where the brush was good and thick and the odors and the shadders. made a heaven long the crick. There may be other pleasures on this ball of spinnin earth and other sports that sort o give a guy another birth, but to me there aint no feelin thats so nearly like a dream as the one that fills my bein as I fish along some stream. When all our fishins over and we stow away the rod and we go to view the scenery in the Paradise of God, it will not be all weve painted it somewhere the grass aint thick, and if the sun aint dancin through the shadders of some crick. er , The biggest thing of all my exMore than 50 members of Battery How can we function best in the toC the of Provo including periences while away, and the thing was officers, community In which we ive? which I looked forward to with the C. detachment the with Wilson the question President Guy Sanitary gether most pleasure was my hornet-comino the L, D.
