LOCAL SOLDIER HAS HOT
TIME WITH RED SQUIRREL.

From Ann Arbor, Michigan,a friend
of Corporal /. H. Collins, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Collins Of L'Anse,
sends US anCaccount of the lively time
Mr.. Collins had with one of the many
red squirrels that infest the Univer-
sity campus.
The signal corps men have erected
thirty slender cedar poles on the cam
pus, and Collins and the squirrel were
found chasing each other around these
poles, even though Michigan is dry.
After short round of this pleasure
Collins donned the spurs, not the kind
that keep your feet from slipping off
the. desk, and went after his enemy in
earnest. Instructor Brown claims it
takes about sixteen hours to make a
proficient climber, but after eight
hours the squirrel seemed to have it
all over Collins.
