stand opposed to the Master Plan
which denies the legend written over
the portal of the Supreme Court,
"Edual Justice under law"
The proceeds of the county bonds
already issued should not be used for
the Master Plan, but, should be used
buildings ut Accident. FriendsVillc,
Grantsvillc and kitzmillor and to
build new high school at Oakland,
which, the people believed was the
intent Of the legislators.
Common sense will tell us it is
cheaper to repair and add to the
existing high schools and build a new
one for Oakland than to do away
with the existing high schools and
build two. The Master Plan is bound
to raise our taxes even if the State
will assume a good bit of the expenses
for its enforcement, for, who is the
State but the people themselves.
Democracy in the minds of the
present officials mean government Of
the people, by the people, but they
have lost all necessary connection
with the key phrase. the vital phrase,
FOR THE PEOPLE. If the present
officials really believe in Democracy
why was a Referendum vote denied ON
the school issue?
sincerely cntreat the assistance
and the support of all the citizens of
the county as | will represent THE
PEOPLE, not few select indi-
viduals.

Today I should like to speak about
the little deer of the world. There
are several kinds of deer which de-
serve to be classed as dwarfs.
One of these is the barking deer
of India, Burma and China. It is
only about 81 inches in height at the
shoulder and may weigh as little as
20 pounds when it is full grown.
The barking deer utters a short,
high-pitched bark when it is alarmed.
The male has antlers which are only
5 or inches long, each antler hav-
ing two points.
Another small deer of Asia is the
musk deer, which exists in tree
covered highlands from Siberia
down to the Himalaya Mountains.
1t has height of only 20 inches at
the shoulder.
The animal classed as "the small
est deer in the world" lives in South
America and is known as the pudu.
This little fellow is only 13 inches
high at the shoulders and has two
prongs on its head, in the place of
antlers. 1t lives in the Andes Noun
tains, chiefly in Chile and Ecuador.
The pudu is classed as true deer
and in that way differs from the
chevrotain, which is "deerlike." The

though, of course, it may have been
current before the war.
MANY years ago I heard the fol-
lowing story from Capt: Ballou of
the 115th Regiment: A private in
one of the Pennsylvania regiments
got leave to go hunting, and unfortu-
nately shot a tame crow belonging
to a planter, who happened to come
up just as the bird was killed. The
unlucky hunter had rested his
musket against a tree and the
planter seized 1t and pointing it at

part of his distasteful meal when the
planter, relenting, said, You've done
pretty well: here take your gun and

soon as he got the piece in his

name "chevrotain" means little
goat" and there are ways in which
it is more like a goat than like
deer.
Without any antlers or horns to
grace its head, the chevrotain gets
along by keeping out of sight as
well as possible. 1t lives in the wilds
of Southern India and Ceylon, also
on the island of Java. Relatives of
this animal (also called chevrotains)
are found in section of Western
Africa.
The chevrotain of Asia is only
about IL inches in height. Some
times cheyrotains are kept as pets
and their masters may let them run
around dinner table loaded with
food. When plant food, such as
lettuce, is on the table, there is
danger that the chevrotain will help
itself.
Still another tiny animal which
looks something like a deer is the
royal antelope. 1t is of about the
same size as a chevrotain and lives
in West Africa.
