 Rumors were current in Baltic last week that ghosts. spooks and hob Soblins had invaded certain sections of the highway between The clubhouse and Lee hill on the Hanover road. and that mysterious shrieks and queer noises had come from the shrubbery cn either side of the road between these points. It was also told that mysterious visitors had been seen. in this section and that the perform ances given by these strange visitors would make even the most courageous young man think twice before trav- cling this direction alone.
 The weird tales were quickly pass ed on and one local young man did some thinking. It remained. how ever, for Cris Hedler to solve the mystery. Hedler entered into an agreement with Hanover young lady 70 walk from, Baltic to her home in Hanover. Armed with nothing but a whole lot Of courage the young cou- pie started for the young lady's home and arrived in good time without be- ing stopped by spooks.
 Hedler said he arrived in Baltic that night at 11.30 and that there is nothing to this rumor concerning the haunted section. He thinks 1t will be safe for some people to make weekly visits to Hanover. and that this will give them a good chance u display their courage and will give them a. training tor future events that require good American courage.
