NNE of the business districts
most beloved characters is
missing this week, her friendly
greeting and homely face nc
longer bringing smiles to busy
passers-by. She was "Susie,'
the shaggy little mongrel which
had bossed the Adam Kurtz fam.
lily for over IL years. Susie was
struck and killed by an auto last
week. Ironically enough, it was
an auto accident IL years age
which first brought Susie to the
Kurtz household. After the white
and black pup had been injured by
a car, Jean Kurtz Fishack, nursed
Susie back to health-with the
aid of "Doc" Kelly. We doubt
if Susie ever left jeans heels un-
til Jean married and moved tc
Perrysburg. When Jean left
Susie adopted Jack Kurtz and was
always with him. Susie was nc
pedigreed beauty, but her gentle
j disposition and winning ways
made her popular with everyone

we'll return early to find a desir-
able nesting place. Weather ex-
perts couldn't believe their eyes
this week when large flocks OF
wild geese and ducks were seen
winging their way northward
We doubt if We'll ever live to see
another winter as warm as 1948,

Wading Pool Benefit show ir
the Clinton Theatre Saturday
night when Eddie Edwards was
master of ceremonies during the
vaudeville show. Two-year-old Jo-
anne Elaine Budd again stopped
the show with her winning per-
sonality, cuteness and acrobatic
ability. No one suspected that her
"pap" AveriIl Budd had so much
dancing ability until jeanne de-
manded that he help her in her
