lOOrh Tournqment for ; Dubs, Lld. Anniversqry

The largest turnout of Dubs members and guests in the club's history marked the 100th Dubs, Ltd. Tournamerit, which was played on a clear and sunny afternoon in San ; Jose, February 15, at the San Jose Country Club. tloyd ' Swiger of Cheim Lumber Company, a charter Dubs member, was the genial host of the excellent outing.

More than 65 members, representing approximately 8O/o ,' of the entire membership, participated in the milestone tournament; the l0oth in a series that had its start in July i of 1948. when tbe first official Dubs, Ltd. tournament was t, played at the Green Hills Golf and Country Club with E. G. "Dave" Davis at the helm of the club. fn commemoration of the 100th Tournament, first and second prizes were awarded to those golfers coming the nearest to a 100 low gross or 1@ low net score. This involved a three-way tie between "Doc" White, Ben Ward and Hollis Jones for the low gross prize, the latter two men losing the flip of the coin to White, who walked off with the prize money.

For the 100 low net division, it was again a three-way tie, between "Doc" White, Sam Nigh and Hollis Jones, with Nigh coming out on top for the prize money and Jones nraking a mental note to get a two-headed coin and start practicing.

The remainder of the tournament was scored on a regu- lar low net basis with winners as {ollows:

Jim Ramsey (56), Jack Crane (57), Larry Ulrich (60), Leo Cheim Jr. (61), Bob Cheim (62),Ev Lewis (63), and Seth Butler (64).

In addition to San Jose Country Club Pro Eddie Duano, the Dubs members were paced by Pro Tony Videtta, from the Paso Tiempo Country Club in Santa Cruz, who was invited to play at San Jose by Sam Nigh, Hebborn-Nigh Lumber Co., one of the principals of that club. Dubs will hold its annual ladies weekend at the Paso Tiempo Inn, June 6 and 7.

Libations, good fellowship and an excellent banquet at the clubhouse rounded out the day. Following dinner, Pro Eddie Duano took the mike and did an entertaining job of awarding prizes to the winners. In addition to the regular prizes, Hobbs Wall Lumber Company presented the club with a beautiful gold and onyx trophy-the Hobbs Wall Perpetual Trophy-"To be presented to the member showing the most progress in the wrong direction."

Winner of this grand prize and great distinction was Charlie Beacom, Al Boldt Lumber Company, who in his acceptance speech noted: "It seemed that when I finally scored my record shattering L42 a while back, I had reached the apex of my career-a higher score was just plain beyond my limits. However, what with diligent practice and an exceptional effort this afternoon, I was able to break into the low 150's and thus be the first to claim this coveted wrong-way Robbs Hall trophy."

Growin' $miles

A smile is quite a funny thing, It wrinkles up your face, And when it's gone you never find, Its secret hiding place.

But far more wonderful it is, To see what smiles can do, You smile at one, he smiles at you, And so one smile makes two.

He smiles at someone, since you smiled, And then that one smiles back, And that one smiles, until in truth, You keep in smiling track.

Life's Rewords

Life affords no greater pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties, passing from one step of success to another, forming new wishes, and seeing them gratified. He that labors in any great or laudable undertaking has his fatigues first supported by hope and afterwards rewarded by joy.

ls "13" Unlucky?

IIow can we account for the absurd superstition that "13" is an unlucky number. We do not know who is responsible for this belief, yet most hotels omit 13 in numbering their rooms and floors. No. 13 is generally hard to sell anyone, in any thing. Who imong us does not know people who will not sit at a table in a crowd that numbers 13?

Yet consider these reasons why every American should believe 13 to be luckn rather than an unlucky number: 13 is written all over our country. First there were 13 colonies; the first fag had 13 stars and stripes; Revolutionary, which describes our war for fieedom, has 13 letters in it; so has

E Pluribus Unurr5 and American Eagle, our motto and our ernblem. Now take the quarter of a dollar. There are 13 stars over the head of Liberty, 13 leaves in the olive branch held by the Eagle, 13 thunderbolts in his talons, 13 bars on the shield, 13 feathers in each wing, and 13 letters spell "quarter dollar." Perry's great naval battle was fought Sept. 13, 1813, and our famous "John Paul Jones" had 13 letters in his name, was 13 years old when he came to America, and carried the first flag of 13 stars to victory. The first feet ordered by the American gov€rnment consisted of 13 vessels.

"I've a friend I'd like you girls to meet."

Chorus Girl: "How much has he?"

Literary Girl: "What does he read?"

Society Girl: "!Vho are his family?"

Religious Girl: "What church does he belong to?"

College Girl: "WHERE IS HE,?"

A husbandman who had a quarrelsome family, after having tried in vain to reconcile them by words, thought he might more readily prevail by example. So he called his sons, and bade them lay a bundle of sticks before hirn. Then, having tied them up into a fagot, he told the lads, one after another, to take it up and break it. They tried, but tried in vain. Then, untying the fagot, he gave them the sticks to break, one by one. This they did with the greatest ease. Then said the father: "Thus, my sons, as long as you remain united you are a match for all your enemies; but differ, and separate, and you are undone."-fissep
