Dave Always Will be on Time Now

It-was,a *great time" for David 'Woodhead, retiring snark of the l-ros Angeles Hoo-Hoo district at ilrc City Clnb l\lontlay night of last week.

Mr. 'Woodhead was the guest of honor at a banquet and. entertainment ofrered by members of the district Ct which nearly 100 of the faithful attended.

In testimony of the sincere afrection in which he is held !y att lumbermen and in appreciation of the splendid services that he rendered. during his two years of snarkship. he was presented with a handsome mahogany clock, with 66au- tiful chimes, the face properly ornamented with emblematic black cats, and a suitable inscription on a small gold. plate, attached.

Instead of the nurherals to mark the hours, the twelve spaces are occupied by these words,"By The TaiI Of The Great Black Cat, Black Cat, Hoo IIoo. "

And a further testimonial was given in the shape of a booklet of parchment leaves, bearing the names of members of the Order subscribed to the following declaration: ,,To David"Woodhead, retiring vicegerent of the Los Angeles district, 1920-22-4' Hoo-IIoo and a man-an expression of afrection and esteem from the members of Hoo-Hoo of the 1eg Angeles district. "

The presentations were made by Curtis Williams, the new snark, who spoke in a delightfully happy vein. Before the clock was even mentioned, Mr. Williams referred. impa- tiently to the eircumstance that he has been ealled upon to stand in Dave'Woodhead's shoes, "and it can't be d.one," he asserted as a pair of enornous shoes of grotesque shape and pattern were hauled into view.

"But if I can accomplish one-tenth of what you have d.one and gain one-tenth of the affection and^ regard of Hoo-IIoo I shall be happy. With the wish that every IIOUR, may bring you health and happiness, the members of Hoo-Hoo present this slight token of their,regard. May it tick ofr a long time, " and members of a waiting committee brought forth the clock.

Mr. 'Woodhead- was completely surprised, but with his usual readiness to say the right thing at the right tine delivered himself of a pleasing address of thanks, and told how thoroughly he had enjoyed the two years of his administration.

Then followed a few hours of song and story-telling and attempts at speech-making which rounded out a joyous and wonderfully successful meeting. Among the speakers were Ir. R. Fifer and C. V. Gray of Seattle, and A. B. Wastell of Santa A'a, who had charge of the IIoo-Hoo building at the San Francisco exposition.

Members of the committee in charge of the Anti-Shingle ffght appealed to the lumbermen for further support to get every one to vote "no" on proposition No.5 on the ballot at the fortheoming election.
