Notes on notes
More notes on notes. As I've mentioned many times
betbre I make notes of possible story ideas and when I
get enough of them. That is ifI can make sense of them.
I write another column.
BackPacks, This one
struck a bell, as I smoke, not
cigarettes. Those damn
things cost too much and
then there's always the risk
What got me going on this Back PAC business was
that it was part of an ad put out by a major smoke com-
pany touting their catalog of different items, sports,
clothing etc... You could receive for sending in coupons

that someone will try and bum one off you and there's
all those gloomy warnings about the risks of smoking if
your pregnant. A guy's got to be careful. So I smoke a
pipe. Actually I smoke matches as a pipe is always go-
ing out. I figure for every pound of tobacco I smoke I
go through two pounds of matches and so far there
haven't been any warnings about matches being harm-
ful to my well being.
fiom their products along
with some cash. Plus don't
forget the all-important
shipping and handling
charge. I'm tempted to
send off for their catalog,
as I want to see their write-
up on the Back Pac.
IfI was the guy doing it.
It would probably go something like this. Enjoy the ad-
venture and experience the thrill of the high altitude hik-
ing without having to climb up some dumb mountain
trial. You can enjoy the breathless beauty of your sur-

rounding rugged territory without leaving your car or
campsite. Our specially designed for smokers Back Pac
takes the work out of back packing. Is lite weight and
roomy enough to carry several cartons of your favorite
smokes without the danger of crushing them. Never
again will you have to cut your vacation short by run-
ning out of smokes and having to make a trip back to
town for more. If you act now we will even send you a
matching T-shirt and jogging shorts with our company's
logo prominently displayed.
You will be the envy and center of attraction of other
sports and health minded people as you purchase an-
other carton or two of our product.
I'd write more. But I just discovered that I just ran
out of matches. I wonder if this catalog has a deal on
matches and how many match books would I have to
send in? Have a good one!

March Manure
Madness
Every Saturday through-
out the month of March, the
Kiwanis will give away ma-
nure, supplied by the Pahr-
ump Dairy.
Valley Rock has donated
the use of 5 trucks and driv-
ers for those who do not
wish to haul their manure
themselves.
Donations are appreci-
ated but not required.
Proceeds from this and
other Kiwanis fund raisers
go to help the community.
The diary has even offered
to match whatever funds
the Kiwanis bring in, ac-
cording to member Jean
Buckingham,. it is a good
possibility that they will
match the full 10,000 dob
lars.
According to 31 year
member Robert Bell, the
Kiwanas are involved in
just about anything that
goes on.
They are involved in "No
to Abuse," a non-profit or-
ganization aimed to prevent
domestic violence. They
support the High School
Glee Club. Also they will
help fund a "young man's"
trip to Europe, where he
will be an ambassador to
Europe.
