in helping out or have any ideas that
you want incorporated, send them along.

Meanwhile, we have a batch of news this
month from the overseas contingent. Ralph

From Indonesia, Redding K. Rufe writes,
that his major, reportable problem is to keep
his golf balls out of the water hazards. It
may be that things are not all what they seem
in the newspapers, although I would agree
with Doc that there are times when losing a
golf ball does seem critical. He and Marta
may be reached through the Intercontinental
Hotel.

one camped on the lawn, see if Ell will sell
you some insurance.
There may be something to trailers. Dr.
