An agreement between man
agement and employees of the
Northern Ohio Telephone Com
pany in Bellevue early Friday
morning averted the threat of a

crease would average five cents

ment was reached.

FEW CHANCES SEEN IN HUNTING
AND TRAPPING RULES IN STATE

The Ohio Wildlife Council, meet
ing in Columbus last week, adopt
ed tentative hunting and trapping
regulations for the 1850 season.
The rules will be subject to off
cial confirmation within the next
10 days.
In cost cases the regulations
will remain the same as in effect
last year.
Because it is impossible at this
time of the year to determine the
result of the spring reproduction
of game, the Councils action
leaned toward conservative regu-
lations. The only available game
population information consists of
the estimated carry-over of brood
stock through the past winter
which is considered exceptionally
good in. spite of the record-break-
ing game kill by hunters last sea-
son.
The open season on ringneck
pheasants will remain the same
as last year, November Is through
November rs with a daily bag of
cock birds and a possession
limit of 2. Daily hunting hours
will be from 9 a. m. to p. m.
(EST), the same as last season.
The open season for rabbits will
include four more shooting days
than last year and will run from
November Is through December
80, total Of 40 hunting days.
Daily bag limit and possession
limits will be the same as last
year 4 day and 4 in possession
with hunting hours of from 9
a. m. to 5 p. m.
The squirrel season remains
the same as last year, September
15 through September 80 with a
daily limit of and a possession
limit of d. Grouse season will
open on November Is and run
through November 80 with shoot
ing hours OF from 9 to 5.
All other hunting and trapping
regulations will be the same as
last year.
The Councils action followed
public hearing where members of
the Wildlife Council heard rec
concentrations from each of the
farmer and sportsmen representa-
tives of each Of the present seven
districts. Recommendations were
also presented by individuals at
tending the hearing, speaking
either for themselves or groups
they represented throughout the
State.
Although some minor changes in
the 1850 regulations were re-
quested by few district repre-
sentatives, generally speaking, the
recommendations called for no
change from the 1949 rules.
Two of the districts asked that
the possession limit on pheasants
after the first day be increased
from 2 to a birds on the grounds
that hunters travelling long dis
tances could get in a second day
of hunting and take home a pos
sible possession limit Of a birds
rather than to have their hunting
end abruptly after bagging their
daily limit of 2 pheasants in one
day.
The Council felt that, although
the estimated population might
withstand the heavier kill of birds
under such change, it might ex-

A nationalist wind is sweeping
North Africa from Egypt to Mo-
rocco and some 40 million Arabs
who inhabit the area are deter
mined to get rid of Western inf1u-
ence as it is represented princi-
pally by the French and British.
Before World War II this would
have been a matter of academic
interest to the United States Gov
eminent and its people. We do
not believe in "colonialism" and
look favorably on the efforts of
all subject peoples to free them
selves of foreign domination.
In the present situation, how
ever, while the United States still
encourages normal processes for
independence by national groups.
the new nationalistic movement
is regarded with some concern by
those whose job is to think in
terms Of military strategy.
The fact is that behind the
moves for total independence and
the end Of all foreign influence in
North Africa stands the omni-
present Red agent.
Area Of Utmost Importance.
Strategically North Africa is of
utmost Importance to the Western
powers. The most important
air base in North Africa-from
which B-36s could take off in case
of conflicts Wheelus Field at
Mehala near Tripoli. But in the
plans for defense against Soviet
aggression the whole Of North
Africa, as far south as Nigeria and
the Congo. is regarded as equally
vital to the Western powers.
If Western Europe is overrun
by an enemy force. as it was in
1910, it is in North Africa that
the various governments would
take refuge and 1t is from Africa
that we might launch a counter
offensive. That territory contains
a vast reserve of strategic min
erals and its vast expanse would
make 1t difficult target for the
Russian air force.
The Russians are fully aware of
all this. Their agents have been
working hard on the various Afri-
can leaders from Egypt to Mo-
rocco. They have not attempted
to sell MarxiSm and Communism
in this fanatically Mohammedan
area. They have sold something
which is even more marketable:
nationalism and extirpation of
foreign influence.
1t is not easy for the average
Moslem leader to detect the Red
hand. North Africa has no people

Dogs Of Yesteryeor
No Hypochondriocs
By Henry McLemore

Where are the dogs of yester-
year?
I mean those pooches who
didn't know the difference be-
tween a veterinarian and an in
vestment banker but who man
aged to live to a ripe old age.
The dogs Of today are as sensi-
tive as a spinster at a wedding,
and spend so much time at the
vets" that many of them know
how to use stethoscope and take
their own temperature.
When 1 was a youngster the
back yard was always filled with
a "passel" of dogs, and there were
always two or three sleeping in
the shade Of the front steps. If
there were any "vets" operating
in the neighborhood none of US
knew about it. and yet our dogs
usually died of old age. And most
of them hunted right up to the
end, ranging the fields and scrub
AOI quail anu TdDDlG.
Lived on Foragings.
Those dogs Of yesteryear ate
table scraps and whatever they
could forage on their wonderings
about town. But the dogs of to-
day have to have a diet that is as
carefully supervised as that Of
Bonnie Prince Charlie of England.
Their food must contain all the
vitamins in the alphabet, cod liver
oil, garlic, and various other
items to keep them from falling
apart at the seams. Let them
have nothing but the food left
from dining room tables and they
would go into a decline within a
week.
And the clothes they wear! Yes,
clothes. There are thousands of
dogs in the United States with
wardrobes as extensive as those
OF movie queens or international
playboys. Heavy sweaters for cold
weather, light panties and jackets
for weather less bracing, and
boots to protect their feet against
rain. slush and ice.
And their food must be served
from specially designed platters
to prevent them from getting their
ears greasy or their muzzles I'M
tidy. I have read ads, so help me,
for jeweled clips for the ears of
f1oppy cared types such as the
cocker, the bloodhound, and the
setter.
Become Hypochondriacs.
My own dogs. Dinah and Bum
BILE. spend so much time at the
vets" that they have acquired
quite good bedside manner, and
when they find the wet" out on a
call they treat themselves. They
both have become terrible hypo-
chondriacs, and looking through
their pen the other day found
a shelf1ul of medicine they had
purchased with their bone allow
ance.
What has caused this change In
dogs? My guess is that the high
pressure life Of the modern-day
world has gotten them down.
Loving their masters so much they
have taken it upon themselves to
fret about the taxes their masters
