Show 'Pi t Just Between You And Me A check of the reservoir last week shows that it's been holding its own and is in good shape, considering it's going to be drained next month by Rocky Ford Irrigation Irri-gation Co. anyway, while they repair the main gates. -0- This should be quite a sight, since it will be the lowest ever since the Fish and Game purchased fish storage years ago. The Fish and Game boys plan to poison the reservoir while it's drained right down to the nubbin, and get rid . of the rough fish. That means there'll be no fishing next year, but should be tops again in a couple of years. -0- You folks with 'beautiful people' better put down something in writing instead of just giving names on the street. We've got a lot on the list but there are many that we don't know enough about to qualify them as 'beautiful people'. So take a minute to jot down a few things about them, what makes them beautiful. Each one chosen will recieve a certificate, and maybe we'll just pick a beautiful person of the year from the 'beautiful persons of the week. -0- 01 - - 'onti Got another county fair U Estory. On Thursday morning ie4"as we left for the fairgrounds we clipped a marigold from Gene and Barbara Mayer's garden. Wanting to be totally honest, it was entered by this writer, but noted that it was , stolen from Gene Mayer. Lo and behold, it won a red ribbon. Not bad, huh! Well, not really. Had green thumbs Gene and Barbara selected a top blossom, instead of our random selection, they would surely have won a blue ribbon, rib-bon, and maybe even a sweep's sweep-'s takes.

The other day a friend lowered him 100 feet rtdown a shaft to recover some equipment they'd used years T before. nfl Anyway, he navigated the - - shaft with only a few hairy 439 spots and finally was back von top, kneeling on a board jgiext to the shaft, when he looked down to see a big rattler beneath the board, right beside his hand. No, he didn't get bit, but le'd had about all he wanted 'or that day. The three -foot attler bit the dust, though. -0- Did you ever notice how g lature seems to compensate or its past mistakes. Last spring when the run-n run-n ff was complete, the res-IVJo res-IVJo rvoir was dangerously low. le thought surely that the linersville fields and South lilford, that depend on the eservoir for part or all of leir irrigation water, would kely not have water for a lird crop and maybe the pcond. -0- Well, old Mother Nature t'S been pretty good to us J U lis year.
