OVER THE
BACK FENCE
BY Marguerite Finefrock
Hiya Neighbor-No matter in
which street you live or where
your daily walks may take you,
signs OF spring are evident these
days. On our daily trek up and
down Jefferson street we slow
down at the Earl Antrim home to
enjoy for a moment the great
clumps of yellow and purple GRO
cuses that make a splotch of bright
color in their yard. And when we
reach the Frank Quisno home we
find hundreds of blue and white
violets peeking out of the grass in
hit and miss fashion. The grass
is getting greener all the time and
it won't be long before the old
lawn mower will have to be taken
out of winter storage for the
weekly run around. Yep, it's
Spring!

a Card from Bradenton Beach.
Beach, Fla, informs us that Clara
Williamson and Lucy Kleinegger
will soon be on their way home If,
they say, "It's Spring Time In
Ohio" In all the years they've
spent in Bradenton there has only
been two days when the sun didn't
shine at least part of the day.
Now that's something! And the
Florida Chamber of Commerce
should love 'em for that state
ment.

No One has as yet claimed the
little black and white toy terrier
the Charles Maraceks found wand
ering around their Ottawa Drive
In Theatre grounds earlier this
week. But they keep hoping :.
Incidentally the drive-in theatre
opens this Thursday.
Seven Baby Girls arrived at Ma
eruder hospital during the past
week with nary a boy to keep 'em
comnanv. Should a boy arrive
now he'd certainly have some diff
fculty getting in the last cry.

Don't Forget to save your paper
and magazines for the Boy Scout
paper drive a week from SATURDAY
A Fun Night, sponsored bv

school auditorium. A Fun Night
NAV sound "cornv" but that's what
is takes to make a fun night, II
YOU know what we mean!
Ex-Edifor, Ray Sperber, drop
ped in long enough to add this
contribution to our column this
week. Being dog story we've
tied it to the gate post believing
that the dogs will appreciate its
being there.
Tar" the black cocker spaniel
owned by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Davis, Woodville Road, who was
the star performer at the last Hob
by and Pet show held by the Port
Clinton Rotary Club in the local
Armory, was also big star at the
Toledo Dog Show held Sunday in
! the Civic Auditorium.
Tar" won first place in Open
A obedience classes with score
of 1885,, giving him another leg"
towards his title in these classes
for seasoned performers.
The black cocker had to take a
back seat later in the day when
one of his daughters, "Wendy"
defeated over 80 dogs in Novice
A obedience classes with 4 score
of 1899.
"Wendy" was the highest scor-
ing obedience dog of the show
and with her owner, Mrs. Davis,
