Show Chatter Box Dear Suzy, It strikes me that the Jaycees are rather a selfish group of young men. Here they put on a race meet with a bunch of boats putting all about the reservoir, then they charge for the spectators spectat-ors to see the races, then they are over and the people leave, and then the Jaycees put on the best part of the show for their own amusement. It seems that when the smoke blew away and the reservoir went back to its usual calm and serene self the Jaycees decided to have an aquatic show for themselves. Keith Dalton, Don Bird and Tex Searle got into a boat and were taking Patty Dalton and Goldie Bishop on a water skiing tour of the lake. All went well until the boat made a sharp turn and tossed tos-sed both young women into the water. Now getting tossed into the wat er is not so bad in itself as the water is cool and nice to fall into, but it does upset one's sense of decency when one is tossed into the water and finds that the force of the fall had ripped one's bathing bath-ing suit from one and that the bathing suit had sunk to the bottom bot-tom of the reservoir. That was the situation that faced Goldie when she came up for air. She noticed that the suit was gone and that there were no barrels handy in which she could crawl into for a trip home for new clothes. Noting Goldie's predicament brought the three gallant Jaycees quickly on hand to render all the assistance they could to pull Goldie Gol-die into the boat, which she did not want and preferred the covering cover-ing power of the water to getting suntan all over by riding in the boat as she was. All kinds of arguments were used us-ed by the men as to why she should get into the boat and it was hard for the men to understand under-stand why Goldie still demurred. While the men were giving advice ad-vice and reasons to Goldie, Patty, unnoticed because she still had her suit on, was in trouble and calling for help, but the so-called gallant men paid no attention to her and let her call for help until she was black in the face. It was not until Goldie swam over to Patty to give her aid that the men noticed Patty in the water and Patty was promptly dragged from the depths and put safely in the boat. It was not learned what finally happened to Goldie and whether she had to tread water until the evening shadows fell and whether wheth-er she was brought another suit that she could use to cover her up. It is presumed that she made it safely to new clothes and away from the prying eyes of this trio of men. The Jaycees are wondering if they can put on another boat race next year, but I am afraid the cash customers will remember that the best, part of the show comes after the main event and will wait until then and won't have to pay a ticket as the show is supposed to over. On the other hand if they can get a group of women to put on a water carnival with various stunts, including a Lady Godiva act someplace in the program, It is a foregone conclusion that they will play to a packed beach, with Keith, Tex and Don on the front row. The Jaycees have grandoise thoughts and ideas on how to fix up the beach and grounds so as to make a permanent place for boating, picnicking and whatever one wants. The first thing they will have to do though, is change the name of the place. It has been called ,at times when one could think of it, "Lake View", but when I was down there Sunday Sun-day all I heard from the many people there was "Sunova Beach it's hot." Toots. |
