mer Dunlap. Splash! The season
when the farmers old ram ram
bunctiously up-ends the unsuspect-
ing fisherman off the creek bank
into the otherwise quiet pool OF wa
ter, is just around the corner.--Just
a lot of chimneys are out to wei
come that human-freighted bird
How beautifully one writer describes
fishing. Listen! "It is the cham
pagne Of sports, which is accompa-
MED by woodland symphony in
which the predominating notes are
the sharp call of the impudent
chickadee repeating his name over
and over and the staccato beat or
the crimson-breasted wOod-pecker. "
For us it has always proved to be
both a pagne (pain) and sham Of
sports, accompanied by a symphony
of thunder bolts and roaring winds,
in which were mingled the predom
inant bleats of an impudent OLD
ram, shaking his horns Ominously
to the splash Of our feet as we sped
toward and mounted the first high
fence that projected itself across
the vista of a wide stretch of bot
tom, while grass-hoppers in wild
pandemonium scurried ahead OF
shoes that family brushed the wa
ter-soaked stubble. Do we hear
another "Blah?" when it's April
down at Otho, the Winters packed
it's grip; the sun scintillates upon
the bridge and horseshoes get the
flip: the fisherfolk line Dyes Fork
shores and cast some alluring bait
then lie back on the bank and just
wait-wait. The grounding comes
forth from his hillside jail; there's
fiutter and a sputter of a startled
lonesome quail. There may be more
enticing places to note the return
Of spring, but the setting is not i'm
portant; it's what it has to bring
Herman Foster of Mt. Perry, and
teacher of the Glover Hill school in

We understand that Fred Rex

of the late Catherine Sealoek, as

tentatively hired all of the present

one or two exceptions where same
disavowed candidacy.

Spontaneous Expulsion OF Object
From Eye Six Months
After Accident
Six months ago the gath OF
this month, six year old Roger Will
ley, a son of Herschel Wiley, fell
while on his way home from school
and corn stalk entered his right
eye near the nose. 1t penetrated
deeply, so much 50, that eXamina-
tions failed to reveal any particle
of the stalk remaining, after the
first major removal of foreign mat
ter. Sunday evening, following
day or two of infamed swelling
about the injured eye, which to the
parents denoted uncertain and pos
sibly dangerous developments, there
was a spontaneous expulsion OF
one-half inch piece of corn-stalk
from where it had been concealed
for so long.
