· After I get through reporting the Retirees golf, I have
two subjects to address before I go on to more and llgbter
~ Thil week, being the Jut c,ne in August, we have
lo save all our energies in ~and for Golden City Days
wbieb we know fa going to be a big 111cce11 tbfs time
ll'OIIDd. The amount of people workina on it fa fantastic
ud we'll just ·hope that their efforts will be fruitful.
'· Altyny, tbfs week's golf wu again played under the
at of conditions that golfers wish would prevail at all
times. THere was a llgbt dew which soon dissipated and
then llgbt.cloud which stopped the sun from bitting • full
force. 1be firBt crew, which romisted of Jim Scott, my
assistant tbfs week, Ernie Primeau, Bob Evans and Jim
Cornfield were off and running before 7:45 a.m.
We played low net, low gross, bidden boles, low
number four and high number ejgbt, plus the loogest putt
on number se9'en. Low net wu won by "Chief" Buna,
playing to a 10 handicap. Chief came in with a a, good for
1
a net 3.1. Jim Scott bad a 41 ll'OIII to take that spot and in
tbe loqest putt on number seven, Al Tamer dropped one
from ls-plulfeet.
In hidden bole play, Wes Tanner won the low on
number lour in campetltion with four others by virtue of
wlnnlag a draw. In tbe high, Bill Chartres bad an eigbt on
number eight to take that aection. Nut week Chief Buna
will # a partner and let me .know what we'll play, I'll
, have it cm the board in time for Tuesday, 7 a.m.
Wbl1e .on the subject of Retirees, we have to thank
Cbrfs for making preparations for our day, when we get
there ever,thing fa ready to go. Sure makes our job easy!
Now, to get down to the Ditty-gritty. Vandalism in any
shape or form fa one of the cunes of modem society. We
wee results of it all over the country. SOmetimes it takes
~ fOl'Ql of auberant teenage pranks, while in others it is
-~ calcula~move to damage something which, while not
,ri,ally valuable to the ones committing the act, to some, it
la the honest attempt to make the scene a llWe better for
tJ1011e who appreciate it. To my mind, the person com~ an act of vandalism i8 probabJy acting OD the spur
·f;Jf the moment. However, for someone to perform an act
Ute tlda in a privat eclub to which be or she ·bas been
aramed membership fa an outrage.
If IOIDeOlle WGlldera why I'm bringing tbfs subject up,
Rasaland Lelion bas gone to a lot of work and cost to
imlre their pnmiles aot only caw up to government
DDdardl, but have gone even further, to make the atmoapbere more home-like for its members. Our building
9(W!PDi&tee bal dant a fantastic job of work to tbfs end.
.. And now to my point. Anyone who accepts the

f1U out to do damaging ~ isn't a youthful prankster.
