Brief Jottinga

they have picked a pretty blue . . .
Otto Wieben was elected the new
Commander of Catalina Island Post
137, American Legion. Life is a funny
proposition after all. There are some
people holding their rents a little too
high for the people that occupy the
Island at present. Perhaps it's all or
nothing at all. Then there ,s a lady
that just has to have her phonograph
symphony orchestra before going to
work. And one that will sacrifice
everything' for a uniform . . A dog
is a friend to man. But I wonder
why people let their dog bark ahnost
all night without stopping it. It
should seep into the minds of the
owner that barking disturbs others
while trying to sleep. Sleep is so
sweet, but when disturbed is Iousy~
The moral is, if a dog is your friend,
keep him quiet and be a friend to
man Mr. Jim Ramsey, who lived
here for years passed away January

ture for the Atwater Hotel and the

est winter it has had for many" years.
1943 has been a freak year all thru
the United States, and 1944 has
started the same way. With this cold
spell Phillip Ainsworth calls the 1s-
land "moldy". It may be nioldy but
it won't rot.

It was a warm day, as we soon
learned when we started tossing the
hatch covers around and making
everything ready far discharging car-
go. We worked fast, for we all
wanted to get ashore as soon as pos-
sible.
Soon the first of the graceful, sail-
bearing lighters appeared abeam of
us and tied up alongside. The steve-
dores clambered aboard and, after
exchanging friendly greetings, sat
clown to wait 4or the other lighters
to arrive.
Two more lighters pulled alongside
a short time later, made fast their
lines and prepared to receive our
cargo.
As soon as the winch-men swung
the first bales of cotton over the side
onto the lighters, Mr. Gaughan came
over to me and asked K I would
like to knock off work and go ashore.
I assured him that I was most anx-
ious to get ashore and see something
of Lisbon, so he told me that I could
wash up, have chow and go ashore
with several of the other crew mem-
bers.
