By Mickey Ahern
A few evenings ago a northeast blow
hit the generally placid waters of Av-
alon Bay. Increasing in velocity it
whipped the ocean waters into huge
whitecaps and threw tons of water
with great force into the crescent
shaped bay.
The custom on such occasions is for
Harbor Master Mulcahy to bring forth
a cannon of ancient vintage--load it
carefully before the awe-stricken gaze
of the Catalina natives--perform ex-
pert calisthenics and with a violent
jerk of the cannon cord there is a
terrific BOOM ! !! !
If you are an on-looker an interest-
ing sight will promptly greet your
eyes. From every side street and
doorway issue the village fishermen;
their wives; neighbors and children. A
northeaster has arrived and at Cata-
lina that means a little excitement.
Boats must be watched carefully to
make certain that the moorings are
not breaking loose. Everyone lends
a helping hand to insure safety for the
various craft.
Such was the case last Saturday--
the usual crowd had gathered; small
skiffs were being hauled into a safety
zone on the beach beyond the reach of
the rushing and damaging waters.
Suddenly, a large commotion occur-
red in the vicinity of the Tuna Club in
the central neighborhood of the bay.
A small sailboat was maneuvering
madly around the bevy of buoys, en-
deavoring to make quick and safe an-
chorage. Six or seven young men
were battling with the craft to keep
it upright in the strong wind. A quick
bustle of figures on board the yacht;
a huge rushing of large waves, and
over on its side careened the boat,
throwing its cargo of young men into
the ocean. All of the boys swam the
short distance to shore safely and the
boat was soon rescued and moored
safely by many able Catalina volun-
teers.
Following one of the drenched young
men down to Bert Scott's laundry and
tat'lor shop, off the main street, close
by the Hotel Atwater, we entered the
shop in time to listen, with several
other townspeople, to the following
conversation between the dripping
young fellows and the merchant prince
--Scott.
"I want to have this suit of clothes
dried and pressed up," requested the
young mariner. "Just capsized out
there on the drink." Scott quickly
seized a tag and with pencil poised
questioned, with that "Ira' so busy I
can't think" look: "Uhhhhh! Say, how
do you spell that name S-e-y-s ?"
"Seys ?" retorted the young mariner.
"What do you mean Seys? .... Didn't
you say your name was CAP. SEYS ?"
queried Scott. "Heck, no....." disgust-
edly replied the youthful mariner.
"Don't bring up such DISTASTEFUL
and WET subjects in this DRY town[
The name is Ed Smith. Our boat cap-
sized__CAP SIZ ED__compre ?"
Many loud guffaws--Scott so red on
his half bald head that you could warm
your hands on it---business of slam-
ming the shop door in our faces---
adios.
The meeting of the Mary Williazns
Club on Thursday afternoon of last
week was one of unusual interest. Mrs.
D. M. Renton presided, on account
of the absence of the president, Mrs.
Greeley, who was attending the dis-
trict convention at Glendale.
The ladies listened to three very in-
teresting articles, taken from various
magazines, which were read by three
of the new members of the club, Mrs.
Stone, Mrs. Watson and Mrs. Dunkle.
A very charming lady, who has re-
cently returned from four years spent
in Korea, told of the life and customs
of the people there, in a very interest-
ing and attractive manner.
The next meeting of the club, on
April 24th, will be a red-letter day, as
Mrs. Toll, district president, is to be
a guest of the club, with luncheon at
the Hotel St. Catherine. All club mem-
bers who are able to attend this lun-
cheon are asked to report to Mrs.
Goulding, club secretary, as early as
convenient.
TROOP NO 1, AVALON BOY
SCOUTS OF AMERICA
Last Saturday the Scouts of Troop
No. 1 went to their clubhouse at Wil-
low Cove in the launch "Ramona."
The morning was spent in repairing
and fixing up the clubhouse and
grounds. The Scouts plan to use it a
great deal during the next few months.
'~he first big event will be the troop's
birthday party, to be held sometime in
May. The Scouts of Troop No. 1 are
now registering for a new year's work,
having completed one year of scout
work.
AVALON WOLF CUBS
Last Saturday evening the Avalon
Pack of Wolf Cubs enjoyed a hike
along the beach. Games and stories
were enjoyed. Mr. H. R. Chessman,
scout executive of the Verdugo Hills
Boy Scout Council, told the cubs a
very interesting story about a panther.
GITCHE GUMEE CAMP FIRE
GIRLS WELCOME VISITORS
The Gitche Gumee Camp Fire Girls
held their regular weekly meeting last
Friday evening, with Mrs. Wood pre-
siding.
All plans for the evening had been
prepared beforehand by Mrs. Stone,
our guardian, who had been obliged
to go to the mainland. After roll call
and the minutes were read, the girls
turned to their handwork, which they
had started the preceeding meeting.
While they were thus busily engaged
camp fire songs and yells were prac-
ticed, in which every one participated.
Camp Fire Girls from other group's,
and others interested in our work, are
always welcome. Meetings are held
every Friday evening at 7:30 p. m. in
the kindergarten room of the Congre-
gational church.

CLAUDE WALTON LOCAL
FORD REPRESENTATIVE
"The Hubbard Auto Sales Company
of Central avenue, Los Angeles has
just completd its two new build-
ings," said Mr. Harry Hubbard, who
is an Avalon visitor and a guest of Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Green of Sumner av-
enue for a few days. "Our increased
equipment provides us with the most
complete shops on the Pacific Coast.
We are now overhauling about 200
cars daily. Because of the demand of
our many Avalon friends, we have ap-
pointed Captain Claude Wakon our
local representative.
"To the Hubbard Auto Sales Com-
pany belongs the distinction of plac-
ing the first Ford cars on Catalina Is-
land, and operating them between Av-
alon and the Isthmus. In 1923 our
sales force sold more than 2000 cars."
During the month of January Mr.
Hubbard was in a serious accident
near Covina, but has almost recovered
from its effects, excepting the healing
of a severe wound on his left hand.
"Bill" Guirasich, chef at the Grill
Care, takes great pleasure in the op-
eration of the steam table recently in-
stalled by Carl W. Carson. It keeps
various soups and other foods hot,
without any danger of their scorching.
A large cold storage box for vegetables
is also a recent addition to the con-
veniences at this up-to-date eating es-
tablishment.
Manager P. West of the Tuna Club
has installed the landing floats at the
Tuna Club pier, so that the visiting
members can land from their own
boats at the club headquarters Satur-
day.
