ported entirely in the hands of in

The general, who refused to be

Distribute Feed to Reserves


Russell Lantz, director of the Col
lege Game reserve, just beat the re-
cent cold snap in his timely distribu-
tion of feed to the reserve under his
management.
Last week 81 bushels of walnuts
were trucked to the campus and piled
in heaps in the woods as a source of
food for the squirrels. In addition
to this food source several bushels of
ear corn were placed in the feeders.
The reserve still houses a good
many squirrels and fox and grey
squirrels live side by side as amaible
companions.
Assisting Lantz with the distribu-
ton were Miss Jean Hoover, college
student, and Harry Shrider.
This particular woods has approxi-
mately 35 artificial dens erected in the
trees to house the squirrel population.
In addition there are 3 platform
feeders and one brush feeding station.
Future plans call for the purchase
of metal corn crib to be located on
the campus to be used for storage of
large quantities of ear corn. Some diff
ficulty has been experienced the past
year in obtaining ear corn and for
this reason the purchase of the crib
has been advocated.

In busy day-long session the Ohio
Conservation commission accepted the
resignation of Don Waters as COM
missioner and appointed H. A. Rider,
his assistant since 1889, as his sue
cessor in the $4,000 post and then
gave Waters himself a $4,000 job as
supervision of all Lake Erie activi-
ties. Rider is a Springfield republi-
can. Waters said he tried to resign
June /, but was persuaded to remain
a while longer.
During the session the commission
also lifted all restrictions on fishing
at 8 Ohio lakes and 2 rivers for a

Under the fishing decision the COM
mission will expand test conducted
at Lake Alma on a theory widely held
by one school of sportsmen that a

derfshed than overfisned. Fishing
was permitted at Lake Alma this year
with no bag limit, no legal minimum
length, and no closed season.

Tony Rodriguez
aboard Aircraft
Carrier Hornet

Tony o. Rodriguez, 81, seaman,
first class, USNR, whose wife and
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. L. G.. Rodri-
quez, live in Patagonia, has returned
on leave from a tour of Pacific
battle duty aboard the Navy's stor-
led aircraft carrier the U.S.S. Hor-
net, now undergoing typhoon-
damage repairs at West Coast
Naval base.
Named particularly after the YES
sci from which 1t. General James
S. Doolittle launched the first
bombing raid on Tokyo, the Hornet
has had IA months of rugged action
in the forefront of the drive back
to the Japanese capital.
No enemy ever succeeded in dam
aging the ship, but more than 400
Jap planes and some 100000 tons
of Jap shipping bear testimony to
the savagery with which she struck
throughout her 5O,0O0-mile cruise.
Launched in August, 1943, the
Hornet-as an integral part of
famed Task Force 58-struck the
first blow in the liberation of the
Philippines; launched the first in
stallment of the full-scale carrier
plane raids on Tokyo; took part in
me destruction of the Yamato, 45,-

Aled an owl.
Under the affectionate sobriquet
Hornet Hotel" she served as troop
transport for thousands of Marines,
auxiliary tanker to hundreds of des-
troyers, and prison ship with ac-
cCmmodations for 130 japanese.
Many of her crew were aboard her
full Is months.
The Hornet was in operation off
the coast of Okinawa when the 100
knot gale caught her, tossing her
1000 tons about like chip in a
washing machine. Suddenly, her
bow rose atop a tremendous wave
and crashed downward with such
force the forward corners of her
flight deck folded along her sides.
