MOONLIGHT RIDES OFFERED BY KARPRIN S BOATS As the summer months draw near, and the calm breezes waft across the lake and caress the docks and long grass of that favorite picnic spot , Kollen's Park, our thoughts turn to long rides on the new boat which plies its way across the lake to the well-known lake resort of Ottawa Beach. The new boat named The Full Moon or Bowang! is to be op- erated this summer by those two ex-Broadway producers, Peggy Prins and Dave Karsten. Miss Prins will take care of the seat- ing arrangements and also favor the patrons with a bass scenario during the trip. It is hoped that this will encourage customers rather than keep them away. Mr. Karsten has arranged for a special upper deck on the boat for special parties on moonlit nights. During the two-hour trip across the channel the boat fea- tures a floor show under the aus- pices of the local W.C.T.U. headed by Ervin Knooihuzen. The main feature of the show will be Miss Wilma Groeneveld reciting passages from Shakes- peare. This will be followed by several selections by the Straw- stack Sisters , Donna Visscher, Doris Diekema, and Edna Hos- sink. As a special attraction, Miss Maxine Vander Yacht as a sweet southern Belle will give a reading on Moonlight and Magnolias. As the beautifully painted green and purple boat enters the harbor we see the usual bevy of glamour girls on the dock. Among them is the famous Pat Headley and her troup which includes Ruth Bowmaster and Annagene Knoll. And so as we look forward to the summer we will welcome the Full Moon or Bowang! when it ar- rives next week. LUCAL W.C.T.U. CLUB T0 NULD DINNER The local W.C.T.U. head an- nounced today that a dinner to raise money for the local Penni- less Orphans society will be held at the old D.A.R.

2 LOCAL TROMBONE BARROOM RAIDED Early yesterday evening, local police raided Baskett's Barroom on East 7th street. The raid started after a complaint was filed by Don Sundin, owner of the Coca-Cola company across the street, who said he was disturbed about 6:30 p. m. by an empty bottle flying through his front window. Our able Chief Dykstra surrounded the place and forced his way in through the open door. When the chief entered the room, the floor show was in prog- ress with Lucy Glammer, who was formerly known as Jean Snow, singing, Barman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet! The comedy team, Gleep and Meatball, ducked quickly out of the side entrance. Ru-ss Simpson, gangster wanted for jaywalking, was found sleep- ing peacefully under the piano. Baskett put up a terrific strug- gle but finally gave up when his gun moll, Nell Ver Meulen, de- serted him. He was taken to city jail where his mouthpiece, Ade- laide Kuipers, the famous woman criminal lawyer, was called in. And so the town returned to its usual sleepy mood as Paul Fort- ney took over the club. Co-owner Gene Hiddinga is planning to sue, to get back his 855.00 investment in the establishment. ULD WILLS UNGUVERED .Warren Van Kampen, noted local attorney, has made a star- tling discovery. While cleaning his desk for the first time yester- day, he found some old wills in a corner, which were made way, way back in 1945. fRemember that far back? That was when they dec- orated the walls of the high school and made the rule that you could no longer throw people out of second story windows -they had to go out through the door.J Through time and fate, the pro- visions made in these wills have already been carried out. They are as follows: Helen Bruinsma leaves her talkativeness to Carole Elston. Kay Essenburg leaves her speaking abil- ity to next year's Daniel Webster. 1P.S. No one was ever found.J Fred Veersma leaves to look for a line like Jack Van Dorple's. Donna Hoatlin leaves her twirling to Pr-ue I-Iaskin. Clarine Gunneman leaves her scholastic ability to the valedictorian of the class of '46. Carol HUB Prigge leaves her coquet- tishness CYD to Carol Houtman. Myna Ash, Erma Kootsier, Sally Temple and Jaunita Sly leave with left hand held proudly in front and third fingers glisten- mg. Bill Plomp surrenders his initials and height to Bill Postmus. Bob Kuiper leaves for the Navy. 27 Norval Trimpe leaves for Christian High. Elaine Weaver leaves her pep to Lois Mitchell. Vivian Steketee leaves her natural curly hair to Betty Kuiken. Arlene Vander Meulen and Marilyn Lugten leave arm in arm. Preston Rigterink leaves the lower halls, reluctantly. Betty Tuinsma leaves her talented tongue to Betty Kirkwood. Mary Vande Vusse and Leona Pathuis leave with the Navy. MISSING SULDIER RETURNS After missing for 10 years, Master Machinist Sergeant Ed Lampen has returned to his be- loved town with his wife and 8 children. Lampen was reported missing after a flight over Burma during the last year of World War II. His officers reported that Sgt. Lampen misinterpreted the order Happy landings for abandon ship, and parachuted down to earth over the jungle. Because he was tail gunner, he was not missed by his men until they landed at their base in India. He was given up as missing. Sgt. Lampen said that he landed in the front yard of the Indian Princess Mitchiushi, and was im- mediately taken in. He was well taken care of, in fact he was mar- ried three months later to the princess. Lampen and the princess are now blessed with 8 children. Lampen is very modest about tell- ing of his arrival to civilization. But we know he built a glider of bamboo and palm leaves and glided into Singapore, April 1, with his family. He said he was longing to get hack to the jungle again. CARETAKER FINED Ed Lugers, local farmer and caretaker of Camp Keewano, was fined S25 in court yesterday. He was charged with hunting out of season. Although he shot nothing he admitted his guilt upon ques- tioning. He said that he was hunting for wolves that were seen prowling around Camp Keewano during the late hours of Saturday night. Two camp counselors, Miss Arlene Wieten and Miss Connie Hinga, were the first to see the wolves and were a bit hesitant about re- porting them to Mr. Lugers for fear of getting him into trouble. He was very noble and chival- rous at the station, saying he was only doing his duty to the coun- selors, and was very willing to pay the fine. Misses Wieten and Hinga stated that maybe it was better that they didn't kill the wolves because it would make a much bigger problem, with the shooting laws as they are. CON VICTS ESCAPE By Carrier Pigeon from Burnips Village Jail After an extensive search throughout Burnips the police de- partment temporarily gave up searching for Don Rinkes, Stan Van Lopik, Don Hulst, Roy Stokes and Dale Van Oosterhout. These renegades, serving sentence for overturning outdoor sanitation de- pots, made their getaway by over- powering the guards, John Thias and Kenneth Knoll, and taking the keys. They persuaded another cellmate, .Dingeman De Witt, to escape with them, but he was caught soon after, hiding under a table in Blum's Academy of Higher Learning. Upon question- ing, De Witt admitted he really would rather have stayed in jail because the food is simply deli- cious. De Witt is serving a two- day sentence for throwing toma- toes at passing cars. Thias and Knoll reported that Rinkes had called them over to the cell to look at Stokes, whom they claimed had passed out when he saw a bed bug under the cot. After they were in the cell, Hulst knocked them over the head with a dinner tray and took the keys and in turn released the other prisoners. It is believed they are hiding in this vicinity and are on the lookout. Thev answer to the names of Don, Roy, Red, Stan and Dale. DUCTUR ARRIVES FUR BOW TESTS Dr. Lucille Klomparens has ar- rived in Holland with her two as- sistants, Bill and Lloyd Van Slooten, for the semi-annual tuberculin tests for cows, heifers, bulls, etc. She has secured quite a reputation for herself inasmuch as only one cow has passed away since she has given the tests. flncidentally, this particular cow's remains can be reviewed in the Graafschaap Museum of Science and Industry - admission one louse for science's sake with guided tours by Shirley Bonte- koe.J Local cow owners are noti- fied to sign up at the Dunnewin Farm for Neglected Cows. Opportunities sometimes drop into peoplefs laps, but not until they get their laps where oppor- tunities are dropping. Says a rookie, In the Army they can't make you do anything, but they can make you wish you had. -- Service-station man: What's wrong with your tires? Motorist: The air's beginning to show through.
