might suggest. That is, everyone ex

There was much comment during
the afternoon Saturday regarding Mr.
Refs refusal.
When seen by a reported for Bur.
lington paper late in the afternoon,
Mr.. Refs said his reason for not want.
ing the poster hung was that it would
"hide his window display"
THE WINDOW DISPLAY 4
His window display consisted Of two
rusty spurs and six harness brushes,
and the curtain was drawn over these
SO that those desiring to see the dis.
play had to step into the doorway and
peek behind the curtain. Mr.. Refs did
not wish to discuss the matter. He
merely repeated: ut would hide my
