(AP Wirephoto) Youth drowns on vacation Kathy McKinney A 13-year-old Normal boy drowned Tuesday evening while on vacation with his family in the Bull Shoals area of northern Arkansas.

Joseph T. Mortimer a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mortimer 3 Ardith Drive, Normal, apparently fell or slipped from a dock while he was fishing. He could not swim.

The family had been vacationing at the Red Arrow Resort, Lake View, Ark. Joe was on the dock, fishing by himself Tuesday evening, his father said. "When he didn't come back when he should for supper, Mr. Mortimer said. younger son, 10, went down for him.

He was going to walk back with The brother. Tom, came back in a few minutes. He said he had found Joe's rod and reel with a fish on the line, but he couldn't find Joe. "The best we can piece together, he made a misstep and fell into the Mr. Mortimer said.

"I imagine he was excited, he had just caught a fish, and I imagine he just lost his equilibrium and stepped the wrong way." Divers from Mountain View, searched for the boy. He was found about 8:20 p.m. Tuesday in 35 feet of water about 25 feet from the dock. The lake is 50 to 60 feet deep. A steep dropoff occurs close to shore.

"The best we can figure, it was an accident. The lake is deep. And maybe the dock is not guarded as well as it could be. There is no rail." the boy's father said. Young Joe was a golfer, known for an ability beyond his years.

He had played golf less than two years when he finished eighth in the fourth flight of the Bloomin Medal Play Golf Tournament in June. He was described in a Pantagraph story after the tournament as His playing partner during part of the tournament, Jim Bagnell, said, "The kid's unbelievable. Of course, he didn't hit the ball as far as some of the big guys but he was always right down the middle. "Besides that, he was always polite and just a real pleasure to play He would have been in the eighth grade at Chiddix Junior High School. The funeral will be at 1:30 p.m.

A-2 Bloomington- Normal, Ill. Aug. 2, Pantagraph Following fairs a good life for 'roustabout' and family Bob Latham never could seem to hold job very long, not that he ever wanted to. "I've been kind of a roustabout all my life." So he spent years playing at being an actor, a cab driver, a sheep herder, a bar bouncer, a printer, a commercial artist and photographer and a part-time gold prospector. That was before he finally settled down to a job that he does not have to settle down to.

He is now a pitch man for Rudy Masson's "Snell Tyer." Rudy is a Basque who came to America 1 many years ago as a high wire performer with Ringling Bros. Circus, quit that to become a movie actor and eventually the original Tonto, and finally a manufacturer and pitch man himself. Dying art form By James Keeran Bob thinks Rudy is about the greatest pitch man in the country today, and pitching is a dying art form. "Rudy can pitch a crowd better than anyone I've ever seen," says Bob, who sold about 120 "Snell Tyers" during the first 24 hours of the McLean County Fair. He concedes it is a little difficult to pitch at a fair because a practitioner of the art needs at least a small crowd before him when he does his bit.

But a half dozen interested parties will do, says Bob. You concentrate on the one you know will buy--there's at least one in every crowd because you can get one guy to reach in his pocket and pull out a dollar and a half, you'll sell five of The "Snell Tyer" sells itself anyway, says Bob. For $1.50 the fisherman gets an instrument that holds a fishhook at one end, with two little slots at the other which the line goes through. Ready for battle Also included are directions and diagrams telling the fisherman how to twist and loop the line through the hook, thereby tieing one of six different knots guaranteed to hold a hook through the toughest battle a fish ever put up. Bob says Rudy, who now keeps close to the Tyer factory in Burbank, invented the fisherman's helper a long time ago after he had been on a fishing trip high in the mountains and his hands became so cold he could not tie a knot.

He also invented a "Clipper Hook Retriever" which will remove a hook from a fish or clip a line with ease, and What's at fair Thursday 6:30 p.m.--Myron Floren, 8:30 p.m.-Myron Floren Friday 8 a.m. -Horse and pony show. 8:30 -Flower arrangement booth activity. a.m. -Bake sale at home economics building.

About two months out of every year Bob lives with his wife and daughter in Cambridge, Kan. The other 10 months the four years he has been working with Rudy, the family is on the road, hitting the fairs in the summer and sport and boat shows in the winter, It is a good life for a man like himself, Bob says, and his daughter is getting almost as good at pitching as he is.

Wednesday by the National Labor Relations Board. The charges involve theaters operated in Pontiac and Bloomington-Normal, where Kerasotes has the Castle theater, Drive-in and Cinema I and II. A hearing on the complaint, filed by locals 193 and 600 of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes and Motion Picture Machine Operators, is scheduled for Sept. 20 in Peoria. The unions charged that Kerasotes unilaterally changed' existing wages, hours and working conditions.
