at all the green fairways. They re-

had ruined their golf course. "It's
so dry," reported the gentleman
"that you need only three clubs
to play a round; a driver, 5 iron,
and putter.". . .
It's bound to happen soon dept:
Bay City pedestrians and drivers
of autos come closer and closer to
a serious accident every time the
fire siren is sounded. It's impor-
tant that the volunteer firemen
get to the fire station as quickly
as possible and it's a dangerous
drive indeed for them to have to
watch for people walking in the
streets trying to get a look at what
direction the trucks' beaded. IT

property a chance to get' to the
scene of the fire as quickly as pos-
sible. iWho knows? It could be
