They were going back to school after having had their home at 511 Angela street. They are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Parra. Suddenly they were start- led when a fish dropped from the sky at Simonton and Southard streets. They looked up and saw two sea- gulls which apparently had been fighting a moment be- fore over the fish. They picked up the fish and brought it to The Citizen office. It was a grunt weigh- ing about a pound and a half. They then scampered off to school with it to show it to their playmates. 12 VISITORS GO ON FISHING TRIP MONDAY They Were From Lt States; First | Sawyer In Tampa Chamber Trip Of | | ‘y teesen To Key At Convention ' tors from 14 Sheriff Berlin A.
