SCAT TALES

If you think you are asked to
pay too much for a load of dirt,
remember it's worth a lot to live
in beautiful city in the greatest
country on earth, the home of the
gave and the land of the fee.
Facts you needed to know: The
giraffe is strange animal Neck
st to none). He has no vocal
cords, but talks with his tail
(sounds like tall tale). He has
fewer vertebrae in his neck than
a mouse Chow about moose? p,
and can run faster than a horse
(always wins by tale). He can
go longer without water than a
camel (bet he had to hump to do
it), and he can see backwards
without turning his head (our row.
ing eyed wolves can do that-and
whistle at the same time).

ExMayor Chapman is the guy
who started all this cat-tail bust
ness. A gold painted cat-tail to
you, Chappie.

ator, him guy who live off fat
heads of land".
It's fact: The pollen of cat
tails cause hay fever.

could get the Highway Dept. to
build a roadside park in one Sec

The ban came on Sept. 7 after
the local squad had already put
in two practice scrimmages
against out-of-town clubs, one
with Sandusky High School and
another with Clay. The last ses-
sion was with Clay under the
