BUCK TAUNTS
COUNTY COUNCIL
QUESTIONABLE Gives Sheriff
Golden Opportunity.

Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sumner
loves county councils.
He went out of his way today to
toss an alley bouquet at the Marion
county council and all councils in
general in a letter to the Rev. G. L.
Highlands, Acton, Ind.
The pastor had written the SUI
blime sheriff for answers to a queS-
tionnaire telling of the duties of his
office and the needs for handling
it in the best manner.
Now Buck early in his sherif's
regime, ran into a "bucking" coun-
Gil that refused to appropriate
money for his road patrol, thereby
abolishing it and leaving the coun-
ty wide open for wiener roaSts and
other nocturnal activities of the
John Dillingers and others of the
bandit ilk.
So when Buck came to the
pastors question as to What is the
greatest need of the sheriffis Of
fice?" he replied in four little words,

one you have to have a trigger
man to fire your gun when you
get 1t aimed, and a bearer who
carries the dead birds and who
can be sent to the shooting lodge
for more Scotch.
Dogs are a sizeable expense, also.
They are used for retrieving. If
you take only two or three dogs
it implies you are not good
enough shot to keep more at work,
so for appearances sake, you must
have a dozen or so, even if 10 Of
them spend the day doing whatever
dogs do on moors when time hangs

Then there is the expense OF
transportation. With 80 beaters, a
loader, a trigger man, bearer,

would be required. Also, there
would be the bother and expense
of gaining a parade permit, which
you would certainly have to secure
