SAD STORY OF TEN-FOOT HOLE
THAT SHRANK HARD TO BELIEVE

By GLADYS BALDWIN

When is a hole not a hole? Why — when Charlic Cots-
ford is digging it of Course!

, You mean you haven't heard? Well Charlies nearly lost
his reputation over it and he was threatened with losing 12
hours “‘pay”’’ too.

It all began with the digging of a hole. First of all it
was down to eight feet. Shovel, heave, shovel heave. Next
time it was down to 10 feet. More shoveling, more having.
This night Charlie measured it, Whew! only three more [eet
to po. Well -- it should be finished by tomorrow night.

That night it began to rain. Water streamed along the
streets from every direction,

When Charlke went down to the “hole’ ‘it was full of
water, right to he brim. To give Charlie a hand, Dan Gaitens
arranged Lo pump the water out. Just three feet below the
surface the bottom of the “hole” appeared

That was when they threatened to dock Charlie's “pay”.
All those hours of work and the hole only three feet down!

What happened then?

Oh they decided to keep Chariie on,

You see they found the ladder down in the hole too, with
just the top of it showing.

What job were they working on?
