IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our dear son
and brother, Cpl Harley Allen
Johnson, who gave his life for his
country three years ago, March 20,
l945, at Ballet Pass, Luzon Island.
The depths of sorrow cannot tell,
Of the loss of one we loved so well
And while he sleeps peaceful sleep,
His memory we shall always keep.
In Gods garden softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies our son and brother, Harley,
But who we could not save.
No one knows how much we miss
y e, you,
No one Knows the bitter pain,
We have suffered since we lost you,
Life will never be the same.
In our hearts your memory fingers,
SWeetly, tender, fond and true,
There is not day, Dear Harley,
That we do not think of you.
Some may think you are forgotten
Though on earth you are no more,
But in memory you are with us,
AS you always were before.
Sadly missed by: Mother, Mrs,
Shella Johnson, and brothers
and sisters

THERE IS talk in Ohio, that there
will be an effort to have a hunting
law for each county. A hunter will
receive a hunting license to hunt in
his own county, and good only in
his own county, and if he wants to
hunt in another county he will have
to take out a nonresident hunting
license in the county he wants to
hunt in, and this will cost him the
sum of $500. This corresponds to a
resident of another state taking out
a hunting license to hunt in this
state. This new Ohio hunting license
law is to stop residents of other
counties going into another county
and killing off their game There
are other states considering such a
hunting license law.
