OLD ORCHARD VETS
PLAN WINTER CARNIVAL

Old Orchard Beach, Nc, Dec. 10
According to tentative plans outlined
by the c. Fayette Staples Post, AM
erican Legion, who with the cooper
alton of the Old Orchard Board of
Trade contemplate promoting d VIM
ter carnival at this resort this WIN
ter, the outstanding feature will be
the GROWING of a King and Queen Of
the carnival
Financing the carnival is one of the
great problems that face the Legion
members, but no definite plan for so
doing will be decided upon until they
have met the members of the Board
OF Trade. In some municipalities the
merchants guarantee the money
needed, but at Old Orchard in the
winter months such a plan is not
feasible. Considerable money will be
needed the first year as it will be
necessary to erect q tobogean slide,
ski jump and provide a skating
rink. In these days of high cost of
lunlber the cost of tohoggan slide
viii be considerable. unless the MEM
bers are able to find some used lum-
Der The members of the Legion
would undoubtedly have building
bee and construct the toboggan slide.
The program of sports will in all
probability include ski and snow
shoe races, ski jumping and inter-
class school contests.

| Alone with the guard, Rousch Is
believed to havei taken a chance of

| sers and armed with a loaded pistol,
Rousch fled through the woods, hav-
ing over an hours start before the
body was found by trusty who was
driving a team near the spot Of the
killing.
That Rousch did not intend to kill
| the guard was indicated by the fact
that after telling Hoag he tied the
victims feet together with a leather
belt.
ROuSch'S criminal career started
six years ago when he was arrested
for theft in Wallingford. He was ar
rested on similar charges on several
occasions in New Haven. Sentenced
in the New Haven superior court in
February, 1921, he was admitted at
Cheshire. being given his freedom on
parole in December. 1922. Convicted
OF violating his parole he was re-

was due to a compound fracture of

bring from their native haunts.
The board bill for the habitues of
the Bronx zoo last year was $34,-

commodities grown on the zoo farm
in the park. Menus for the inhabi-
tants of the Central Park zoo cost
$12,250 and the board bill of the deni-

annually, not including sea food gath

Leading all other captives in the

elephant in the Bronx zoo. His daily
entree of 200 pounds of hay, with des-
sert of vegetables. fruit and bread,
costs between 81 and IS daily. His
fellow country man. the pigmy ele-
plant, eats only half as much.
These "heavy boarders' contrast
sharply with the deer, which are fed
on so cents a day, or even less. But
since there is a head of 1870. their up

The meat bills Of each of the five
lions In the Bronx zoo average about
80 cents daily. The tigers eat about
the same amount, while the leopards
eat about one third less All these
jungle bea sts are now fed beef. They
once were fed horse flesh, but this
diet proved too rich for them.
