time ago The little gas stations have made
way for the huge and expensive super stations
not only on our highways, but in our cities

Rail Season
Is Now Open

The Wildlife Division of the
Ohio Department of Natural Re-
sources announced today that the
hunting season on Rail and Cali
mule will extend from September
! to October 80.
DR.. Charles A. Dambach, chief
of the Wildlife Division, in max
ing the announcement, said that
although the official announce
ment of the Waterfowl season has
not been made by the U. S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, he had been
advised that the hunting dates
and game bag for the Rail and
Gallinule would be similar to
those which have prevailed for
the past few years. The Federal
government has authority in de-
termining all migratory waterfowl
regulations.
The daily bag limit and pos.
session on Rail and Gallinule in
the past years has been 25 on
Sora Rails and Is, in aggregate, on
other Rails with Gallinule.
According to state wildlife Off
cials, season and bag limit regu-
lations for migratory waterfowl
long awaited by Ohio hunters, is
expected to be released by the U
S. Fish and Wildlife Service on or
about August 26th. 1t is unlikely
officials believe, that Ohio will be
accorded the 50-day, five duck bag
limit season, which the Wildlife
Council has recommended to the
Fish and Wildlife Service.

As it was getting late, Nissen

| OFF the CUFF
By RAY SPERBER

A LOCAL father believes - in
a Santa Claus after an episode
which took place in the H. B. Ma
gruder Memorial Hospital lobby
last week. The recent father
was standing in front of the office
window, complaining that he was
unable to pay $100 due on the ma
ternity bill he owed. Another
gentleman, from out of state, was
standing in line waiting to pay for
laboratory work. He couldn't help
over hearing the conversation.
Finally the stranger asked the
Office girl if she had blank
check. When she handed it to
him, the man wrote a check for
$100 to meet the local mans pay
ment. The benefactor, incident
ally, had never seen the local man
before - and the check didn't
bounce either!
