Sportsmen's mixer and Chicken
supper last week. The directors
took great pains to make the affair
one that would go down in history
as first rate conservation meeting.
The speaker, Grover C. Hipp of
Liberty Center and Game Protector
from Paulding Co., gave one of the
best talks on conservation ever given
at our club meetings.
Motion pictures were shown and
a poem "An Apology To A Dog
That Knew What To Do, written
by William Daily, was recited by
Daily and well received by the club.
Foster Roszman, fish management
agent for our District spoke at the
High School on Conservation during
the afternoon, and at the meeting
introduced the speaker.
The occasion was highlighted by
the appearance of the club rooms
which have been recently redecorated.
Grow and Hawk Control Program
Set in Motion
The club has appropriated $4,000
to be used for determination of
crows and hawks. Harold Mont
gomery has been named as director
of the program and hunters are re-
quested to turn in the heads of the
birds to Harold Montgomery, Wilbur
Niswander, or Jesse Manages. For
the first hundred crow heads turned
in and for the first hundred hawk
heads turned in the club will pay
25c per head. Payment will be made
on regular club meeting nights and
the hunter will receive certificate
from the committee member emitting
the hunter to bounty of 25c per
head for the number of heads turned
in. Payments will be made by the
club treasurer.
Only club members may qualify
for the bounty to be paid.

CONSERVATION AFFAIRS

April 27, in the Sportsmen's Club
Rooms. The F. F.. A. boys of the
High School have invited all the
F. F. A. boys of Allen county to
the affair and Harrod, Lafayette,
Shawnee, and Bluffton will be rep
resented. These four schools are the
only schools in the county that main
tain an F. F. A. program.
Arrangements have been completed
for O. H. Neimeyer, Marion County
Game Protector, to give short talk
to the boys. Motion pictures taken
by Neimeyer will be shown. Nei-
meyer, whose residence is at Pros
pect, Ohio, is well known in sporting
circles as an excellent speaker. In
the April issue of the Conservation
Bulletin there is an excellent article
written by Neimeyer that appears on
Page Ia. The members of the sports
mems club are welcome to attend the
meeting which will start at 500
p. m. in the club rooms.
Following the program the F. F.
A. boys will all leave the Sportsmen's
hall and go to the high school for
games and refreshments.
Dogs are mischievous and the little
black, curly haired imp hanging
around Lige Cramer the other day
while he was working, was no excep-
ton to the rule. Lige was busy
spading the garden and may have
noticed the strange pup, but he
should have kept his eye on the little
black rascal all the time, for when
Lige had his back turned the pup
grabbed up one of Cramer's leather
topped gloves and tore out for parts
unknown. The last we saw the pup
was still running two blocks away
and taking the glove right along
with him.

To all of these valiant men, we of the
Greyhound Lines pay sincere tribute.
We're proud of these fellow-citizens-
thankful for them, too. And we feel we
have at least one thing in common with
them. They're fighting hard to improve
the safety record of our State and so
are we. In these tense and busy days,
we feel that Greyhound, in providing
safe, convenient transportation between
this community and its good neighbors,
is also playing its part in making Ohio
safer, happier place to live.

Comptroller

where the White House staff has been quartered on week end visits for 12 years-were dashing down the hotel halls beraing the message.
 The telephone switchboard in White House headquarters was lit up night long as calls poured in from every state. The president was on the telephone constantly, checking with Democratic leaders over the nation. And only a few feet from the president in his dining room were press association tele- types tpaping out the building story of Dewey,s defeat.
 The president went to bed tired and jubilant. He was in good spir- its over the way he had done it again. Today he will sleep late, awaking in the certain knowledge that he will be the nations leader during the next four tense years of ending the war and starting the construction of peace he hopes will last at least during the life time of the present generation.
 Messages Cascade
 Along with the telephone calls there poured into the White House offices here an actual cascade of congratulatory telegrams. Messen- ger boys ran in every few minutes with sizeable bundles of messages. And the staff sent out for ham sandwiches and coffee and con- mented, Why doesn't Dewey con- cede so we can go to bed?"
 The president worked through out the evening an up-to- the-minute check on how he was doing. His house was full of long time friends, members of his im- mediate staff and his family. They followed the election results by various radios around the grace fully sprawling old house overlook ing the Hudson river.
 The President interrupted his election night vigils shortly before midnight to greet a traditional torch light parade of Democrats who whooped down the lane from the Albany Post road to his house with red flares and a brass band.
 The torch bearers represented Duchess county minority-the county this year voted 32,758 for Dewey, 20,382 for Roosevelt. And looking at the crowd, the President said he never knew he had so many friends in his home county.

Big Dewey Vote In Vermont

Montpelier, Vt, Nov. B. (UP0 Rejecting President Roosevelt's invitation to join the fold, tradi- tionally Republican Vermont gave it's thre electoral votes to Governor Thomas E. Dewey, virtually com- plete returns showed today.
 With 231 of the states 246 pre- cincts tallied, Dewey had received 61, ,783 to 44,435 for Roosevelt. Deweyis margin was 17,24S-about 2,5OO votes greater than Wendell Willkie's in 1940.
 Vermont elected a Republican governor and reelected a Republi- can senator and congressman.
 Returns from the same precincts gave:
 Senator George D. Aiken (R) 5,198, Harry w. Writers CD 32,- 002. Aiken'S margin 33,190.
 Governor - Lieutenant Governor Mortimer R. Proctor (R) 58,123, Ernest H. Bailey (D) 1873. Proc tors margin 26,443.

confident of reelection, but wouldn't say so f1atly because "t is too early"
 "The reports coming in are not so bad" he told the loud crowd. He sat on his rear porch, draped in his familiar navy cape and wearing his old brown campaign hat.
 The state of New York seems to be going pretty well and it looks like I'll have to come back here on train from Washington for the next four years," he said.
 The crowds howled at that and 8 band of Vassar college girls started singing We Go For You"
 The President went on to say that it was worth the trip from Wash- ington to spend week-ends in Hyde Park, stating I'm glad to see you on this election day again-and I might say, again and again and again" This was an obvious throw back at Dewey who during the cam- paign mimicked MT. Roosevelt'S use of the again and again and again" phrase.

 New York. November g. (UP)- vust put down anything mentioned previously-and there was plenty = about a supper-duper election night In Times Square to typographical error. As one cop put it:
 'It's tanner than Saturday nights and I'll take this any time to one of them sinatra brawls at the Para mount Theatre"
 A slight exaggeration induced by boredom no doubt, for the police estimate of the crowd in the Broad- way Theatre district ranged up to 5O0,OOO, but 1t is a fact that the throng was way under police pre- dictions and as quiet and we'll hammered as kid the week before Christmas. At 2 a. m. there hadn't been an arrest made in the area.

Election Was Quite A Quiet One On Broadway

Cafe where, surprisingly, there was sufficient room to bend an elbow throughout the evening, tagged the situation:
 Radio
 Radio. That's your answer. Peo- pie were so wrapped up in this campaign that they weren't taking any chances on missing returns. So they stayed home by the radio where they could get them more quickly and with less discomfort than they could anywhere else"
 Other showmen along Broadway and side streets echoed this theory. Most of the night clubs and hotels reported only normal trade despite the fact that all of them gave elec- tion service via radio or teletype such as was supplied 8 number of places by the United Press. They didn't catch flood of night-on-the- town couples as in other days. The sell-out stage hits proSpered as usual but most of the others did not build up to capacity as had been hoped.
 The Times Square crowd reached its peak between II p. m. and mid- night when the theaters emptied their audiences onto the streets. More than 1000 city police of all types, military police and sanita- ton department employees pressed into service as traffic helpers were on hand to keep the pedestrians moving. At no time was the situa- tion such that 1t was necessary to stop croSstown motor traffic through the Square. North and south traffic was cut off early in the evening. Pedestrians on the west side of the Square were per- mitted to move downtown only and those on the East Side were routed uptown. There was little conges- ton because they were able to walk in the streets as well as on the sidewalks.
 Only ROadblock
 The only roadblock was in the immediate vicinity of hte Flatiron- shaped Times building at the south end of the Square where the Elec- trio News Ribbon and a movie pro- ejctor flashing bulletins onto a screen on the north end of the structure were the attractions. It was strictly a pro-R Roosevelt throng and important results drew cheers and hand-clapping. The biggest out burst came when the searchlight atop the Times building, which had been swinging steadily east and west to indicate that President Roosevelt was leading, stopped sud- denly shortly after Il p. m. and pointed due nortrl-the Times claim that Dewey had been licked. A sight of the Square from the top of the AStor Hotel was not too impressive. Because all of the big signs were turned off at about 10 o'clock, leaving only street-level lighting, the people stood out in good relief when viewed from above but the overall effect was one ot drabneSs.
 There was minimum of noise making gadgets in use and vendors of the same might just as well have stayed home. The lumber and labor thta went into barricad1ng store fronts throughout the area might better have been directed at building bird houses. No ones plate glass was evenly remotely threat ened. The barricades worried one soldier with a molasses accent.
 "Ah Sweah, that don't look at all friendly" he commented.

 Hyde Park, N. r., Nov. 8.-(UP) President Roosevelt at $50 A. M. EWT, today showed aside a litter of election charts, dull-pointed pen ciis and pieces of paper covered with figures and went to bed after going through a familiar experience being elected president of the United States.
 The President was tired, happy md confident. When Gov. Thomas z. Dewey, the Republican capdi- date, broadcast an admission o1 defeat about 3:16 a. m., the Presi- lent sent Dewey this message: 'His Excellency, Roosevelt Hotel, N. Y.:
 T thank you for your statement which I have heard over the air g few minutes ago."
 Franklin D. Roosevelt" White House Press Secretary Stephen T. Early told reporters however, that the President had re- ceived no direct word of concession from Dewey, beyond the broadcast.
 Then the President wrote out some messages of thanks and con- gratulations for his running mate Vice-President-elect Harry s. Tru- man, Vice President Henry A. Wal lace, Democratic National Chair man Robert E. Hannegan, then he went to bed.
 The President who runs a hard, unrelenting race when he's run- ming for public office-as ne has been since 1910 when he ran for the state senate would not go to bed until he had licked his oppon- ent and Dewey had conceded. He felt the outcome was obvious long before Dewey went before nation wide radio audience and admitted that he was defeated.
 MT. Roosevelt had been elected for fourth term.

Confederate Veteran
Marking tooth Year,
Keeps Up With War

James Albert Spicer awoke in a
cheerful mood this morning after a
Iday-long celebration of his Tooth
birthday anniversary yesterday at
the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Harry Lushbaugh, 7115 Ninth street
NV.
One of the few remaining Con-
federate veterans, Mr.. Spicer remi-
nisced about the Civil War as
he received congratulations from
friends and relatives. He was equally
interested in the latest news on
Allied progress in Italy.
Have I been here that long?" he
joked when he saw his birthday
cake with 100 candles. He remained
up until 10 o'clock last night to
receive callers and flowers from a
half-dozen States.
A native of Slate Mills, near Cul-
peper, Va, Mr.. Spicer spent most
of his life in and around Madison
Mills, where he was a miller.
Enlisting in the Confederate Army
when he was II, Mr.. Spicer served
with cavalry unit until he was
captured on March /, 1865. He
wasn't released from camp at
Point Lookout, Md, until long after
Lincoin's assassination, he said. He
still has an old Colt revolver which
he used during the War.
Although he was injured in a fall
last autumn which has curtailed his
activities, Mr.. Spicer still is able
to get about the house.
He's firm supporter OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt and hopes to have
another chance to vote for him.
Youngest guest at the party was
his great-great-great grand niece, g.
month-old Shadrica de Colon. An
83-year- nephew, Frank Spicer,
of Washington, was the Oldest rela-
tive to extend congratulations.
Present also were Mr.. Spicer's
four children: Mrs. Lushbaugh, Ell
lott w. Spicer of Washington,
Bryant S. Spicer of Baltimore and
Mrs. Vertie Smith of Orange, Va.
His wife died three years ago
at the age of 81.
