This cigar rage in the council might not stop for quite a while. Bruce Gold, the new mayor, is seldom seen without one in his mouth and it wasn't long after he took office that he was chew ing on one. City Clerk-Treasurer Albert Olson should have been the fel low smoking a big cigar at the council table. He was reappointed for the "umteenth" time. Mr. Olson has served as city clerk since 1934 with the exception of a five or six months stretch back in 1946. However, the appointee was the only one who wasn t chomp insr on one of the choice "El Ropos." He said he smokes only about one cigar a year and that's when he's outdoors. He couldn't solve the mystery of where all the cigars came from either. tf T Y DOUBLES Saturday, April 28, 1 p. m. . SINGLES Sunday, April 29, 1 p. m.

The incoming and outgoing of ficials must have thought they were in Hollywood or a televi sion studio as the bright lights shone on them. Several looked like thev were trviner for "Os cars." The "lame duckers" and the new councilmen joined in an in formal get together following the session at a local club where they kidded City Attorney Albin E.

The steaks were thick and so was the sentiment as they renv inised their ups and downs to gether.
