Local Ya Ho Di
Some scoundrel has borrow*
ed Ya-ho-di. The average per
son with the averageamountof
savy should know that Ya-ho
di is most essential for the well
being of mankind,
r Fo.- instance with Ya-ho-di
misplaced, Dorrpwed or stolen,
who will turn off the light in
tlie refrigerator when the door
is closed?
Maybe Little Audrey ©r Kil
roy could do some of the won
derfnl things that Ya-ho-di ac
complished, but even so this
doesn’t alter the fact, that our
hero is missing.
Ya-ho-di is a dory painted
red inside and grey outside
that some unthinking person
has borrowed from the boat
“Elizabeth,” owned by John
R. Malutin.
Ya-ho-di was taken last Fri
day off the “Elizabeth,’’which
is tied up to the Standard Oil
float. She is 12 foot long and
nearly new.
' If you know of Ya-ho-di’s
whereabouts will you please
notify John Malutin by calling
4171, or return him to the float
and no questions will beasked.

License Revoked
Leigh Niblock, age 18, was
arrested at the scene of an
accident, for reckless driving,
and having in his possession
at the time of the; accident, a
quantity of intoxicating beve
rage.
Niblock, John Olsop^and two
unidentified girls, all teenagers
were traveling at an excessive
rate of speed on Kashevaroff
Street and hs they turned left
onto Mission road, lost control
of the car, - smashed through
the fenckat IheTtussianCharch
and stopped well inside of the
Church yard.
When the police arrived at
the scene all had fled except
Niblock. His explanation of
the accident was that the small
handle or knob on the steering
wheel came loose and the car
kvonldn’t turn at the corner as
they approched the Mission
Road intersection. The ^police
determined through investiga
tion that as the car turned the.
corner all four wheels slid side
wards and threw gravel about
eight feet from the tire markk
in the road;
Niblock was tried before city
Magistrate Richard G. Berg,
found guilty as charged and
fined $100.00, was given a 20
day suspended jail sentence
and had h»s license revolted
for a period of 6 months. , - ^
The car is being held in ‘the
church yard until the cost of
the fence repair is paid. 1 '
