Another Fox Killed
By The RedIand Hunt

? the den ances, at the edge of
the woods. That night as he sun
set, the horses were silhouetted
against the blazing sky, while the
diggers labored on in the twilight.
Cigarette lighters were brought
out to feebly illuminate the scene.
At last the cold and the late hour
drove us home, with the grey fox
ahead of the game.
This time the story had a differ.
ent ending. Frank Fraley, our tai
ented huntsman, shed his coat and
climbed the tree. The grey jumped,
and met an instant end, which is
fortunately the case whenever
hounds bring down fox.
The Acting Master presented
the mask to Mrs. Van Schaik, the
brush to young Joe Richards III,
and pads to Col. Daniel Boone,
Albert Stabler, Charles Smith,
and H. r. Schafer. Among others
in at the kill were: Misses Nancy

is in permanent pasture and hay.

period $4,000 pounds of fertilizer
and POI tons of lime have been ap-
piled to the land.
Mr.. Eager figures that the pond,
built two years ago, will produce
from 500 to 600 pounds of fish a

muddy Gaithersburg field.

Supervisor Says County
Government Func tions
Will Go On As Usual

County Supervisor |. G. McNayr
last week assured residents of the
county that government services
twill not stop or deterioratev be-
cause of the uncertainty and con-
fusion resulting from the Charter
dispute.
In statement issued to allay
fears of persons wishing to do
business with the county govern
ment, Mr.. McNayr also defended
the council-manager system called
for under charter. He said that "at
present 16,500,0OO people in the
United States are being governed
locally by council-manager gov
eminent and that obviously the
system can not be said to be new
and untried."
A decision by the county COM
missioners on Tuesday, the 18th,
to file suit attacking the legality
of scheduled charter council cleo
ton on January 6 has caused many
citizens to call or write concerning
the uncertainty and confusion in
Montgomery County government,
Mr.. McNayr said.

Jud Ready, son of Superin-
tendent and Mrs. l. E. Ready is
the most popular boy in Roa-
noke Rapids this year as he is
the proud possessor of fifteen
dogs, from two litters of puppies.
Mrs. Ready told me it all
started when they acquired a
full blooded black cocker spaniel
when Judd was born five years
ago.
Every time puppies were born
to "Brucie", the Ready's couldn't
part with all of them. Now since
they have four grown dogs and
two more patches of puppies ar
rived making fifteen in all, they
are dividing with Judd's friends.
Though several have offered
considerable sums for the pup
pies, Judd being a true dog low
er with a generous nature much
prefers giving them to his
friends.
Mrs. Ready says Judd and his
friends are fast learning the facts
Of life as they are constantly in
attendance of the babies.
Among some of the children
made happy this year by Judd's
generosity are little Miss Betty
Ann Stevens, daughter of the
Rev. and Mrs. w. R. Stevens,
Betty Ann Williams, a little
friend in Rocky Mount, Susan
Woodall, The Rev. ]. F. Herbert's
family, Coach Dan eagle, Mrs.
Otis Reynolds local English
teacher, Billy Postim and many
others.
Mrs. Ready asked that l be
