Goldfish Enjoy Living Quarters In Bathtub
Hutchinson—Mrs. Gerald Barrie of Hutchinson is wishing that someone in her city ran a winter boarding house for oversized goldfish. Having spent the summer months in the great outdoors in the Barrie pond, the goldfish have attained the size of perch and require nothing less than the family bathtub to maintain life. Which is all very well for the goldfish as they frolic and play luxuriously in the tropical heat of the Barrie bathtub oblivious to the sour note they have introduced into the household. But the family is beginning to grumble about having to go back to the oldfashioned wash tub and Mrs. Barrie fears revolt in the near future unless she soon finds suitable living quarters for her pets.
