BETTIs. MINNIE ALBERTA. Sacred ia
the memory of our dear mother, daughteI
who entered into eternal rest twelve years
ago today, February 3, 1887.
There is a memory for one alone,
shrined in love that has built her throne:
Friends may fade and some disappear,
But the memory of our dear mother will
always be clear.
We miss you mother, our hearts are sore
As time goes by we miss you more;
Your loving smile and gentle face,
No one. mother, can take your place,
CHARLES.
Her life Ia O beautiful memory,
Her absence a silent grief;
she sleeps In Gods beautiful garden,
In the sunshine of perfect peace,

More Recruits

Interviews will be given to

lished at Toledo by 1st Lieutenant

approximately 265 hours of flying,
graduates of pilot training receive
flying assignments as rated pilots
on active duty with the Air Force.
Graduates of the 1-year navigator
course, who spend 1874 hours in the
air in Flying classrooms," are as
signed as rated navigators on long
range bombers of the Strategic
Air Command or big transports of
the divide Military Air Trans
port Service.
To be eligible for either pilot or
navigator training, male citizens
must be between the ages of 20
and 26R; either married or single;
with at least 2 years of college
or the ability to pass an equiva
lent examination; and with high

$50 MARKSMEN
Due AT PERRY.
Hopes For Holding National
Matches Are Given Up
BY Officials

With $50 marksmen expected
the small bore rifle match to be
held by the Ohio Rifle and Pistol
Association at Camp Perry this
weekend, will be the largest ever
sponsored by the association.
Arthur +. Cook, Washington, ID.
c., the national champion, and
William Patriquin, Cleveland, de-
Tending state champion, will be
here to defend their laurels.
The match will mark the re-
opening for small bore competi-
ton at the famed Camp Perry
range, scene of many national
matches and conceded to be the
worlds finest shooting grounds,
said John r. Lang, Cincinnati,
state small bore director.
AS Congress failed to approve
the military appropriations bill in
sufficient time, Camp Perry Off
cials have given up hope of hold
ing the National Matches at the
state reservation this year. Lead
ers hope that funds will be suf-
ficient to hold the big shoot here
next year.
Nearly 100 marksmen were at
Camp Perry over the weekend
when the Ohio big bore match was
held.

FISH Pond
When we enjoy anything partic-

That's the way the kids of Troy
feel about the custom established
by the Rod & Gun Club when they
began a fish pond for the youth
of the community. This practice
is fairly well under way to become
an annual affair
Eleven o'clock found the youth
full contestants standing poised on
the river band, rod in hand await
ing the starters signal. Marie
Baeth was the first to catch a fish
and Myrna Basham was the second.
The lucky boy was Billie Basham
with Donald Johnston a close run
ner-up. The largest fish prize was
awarded to Ike Cummings and
Wayne Cooley who each caught a
fish weighing 21z pounds. The sec
ond prize in this division went to
