(continued from Dane 6)
uowing how we felt, we cannot
lame him for throwing caution
i> violently to the winds.
The other day by a strange
jincidence the 12o’clock whistle
1 the McConaghy cannery and
» 12 o’clock siren of town blew
ad tooted simultaneously at
pproximately 12 o’clock.
As it was the first time this
sason that the cannery whistle
ad net preceded the siren from
to 5 minutes we sent ourin
uiring reporter down to find out
here the cannery got its time
icnal. (The siren, as we explain
d some time ago, is blown by
reorge Slawson as soon as he
ears WVCQ say it is 12 o’clock.
The eannery personnel was
ODplused when asked by our
shorter where they got the time.
The bookkeeper didn’t know,
’rank McConaghy said the en
iaeer blew it. The engineer said
e blew it from his watch. On
srther questioning he said he
et his watch by Mis. McConag
y’s electric clock. Mrs. McCon
pby said she brought the elec
ric clock from Seattle, where it
ept \ery good time, but here it
uses every day. The clock is
becked by the radio, but the re
ults would indicate it is a differ
sot radio from the one Mr. Slaw
xm consults.
i lie two different noon-time
ndieator3 make it n;ce, though,
f you are hungry, you can go
»t when the cannery whistle
>lows; if you aren’t, you can
salt for the siren.
Unless, of course, you are
*eorge Slawson.
It has usually been the policy
if L. K- Wodlinger, owner of our
t drug stores, to keep one store
ipen on holidays. But recently,
to allow his s'afTs to get off on a
ertain holiday, he closed both of
hem. But on the doors of the
■tores he put a notice stating
bat “In case of an emergency’’
Mietomers could call at his home
sp on the hill above the Baptist
:bureh.
He bad 3 emeigency calls at
lie home that day. The respec
tive customers direly needed:
1. A roll of film.
2. A writing tablet.
3. Shaving lotion.
Wanting to take a picture and
mving to write a letter might be
an port ant but we can’t imagine
■baring being an emergency for
■ayone bur John Brodtkorb.
Any way, we regret to say the
mergeneies were not taken care
»f, and having learned his lesson
lit. Wodlinger had signs on both
>f bis stores on the 4th of July
tbat said simply, “Closed”.
