Police Prepare
Drive On Stray
Dog Nuisance

AS the result of hundreds of
complaints received in the past
few weeks, Police Chief German
Clark has issued a warning to all
dog owners here. Chief Clark said
that dogs are doing much damage
to flowers and gardens and that
the nuisance of dogs running loose
must be put to a stop.
Chief Clark said that his police
officers will enforce existing city
ordinances and state laws which
specifically prohibit dogs from
running loose. Owners may be
prosecuted under the laws and
dogs will be impounded at the
owners expense. Should the dog o.
wner fail to claim his dog within a
specified number of days, dogs
will be destroyed.
London school authorities also
have gone on record as being OPP
posed to the practice of letting
dogs stray. Several children have
been bitten and large packs of
dogs congregating in the school
yard have created nuisance, it
was said.
THE fact that a dog owner
buys a license, does not entitle the
dog to destroy property or cause
any discomfort to any person,
Chief Clark said. I'VE intend to
put a stop to this menace at the
earliest possible moment and we
would like to have all dog owners
cooperate with u.s."

FISH STORY, REVEREND

One minnow, one bass" was
the meditation of the Reverend
Jesse Thornton, pastor of the
Sedalia Charge OF the Metho-
dist Church, an avid fisherman,
as he related an experience of
Tuesday afternoon.
Il took my small seine and
went to the creek hoping for
a few minnows, preparatory to
an afternoons fishing expedi-
ton, and when I pulled in my
net, I had just one, single, tiny
minnow for my effort. Seems
like perhaps that wasn't the
afternoon for me to fish, but
/ drove on down the road, park
ed my car along Paint Creek
near Bookwalter and ambled
down to the stream.
II baited my hook with the
little, insignificant minnow, cast
off, and in less time than it
takes to tell it, I reeled in my
line and there was a struggling
bass exactly II inches long that
tipped the scales at one pound,
on the nose.
you never know about fish
ing; l almost didn't go; if I'd
had a seine full of minnows,
perhaps I wouldn't have caught
a thing" Rev. Thornton con-
cluded.

III Prisoner Returned To
London Jail By State Patrol
To Face Charges
OF MansIaughter

Earl Kells Mcdaniel, alleged car
thief and Army deserter, was re-
turned here at noon Thursday and
placed in the county Jail. Mcdaniel
figured prominently in the news a
week ago when he was released
from Mt. Carmel Hospital, Colum-
bus, although he was not able to
walk into the Jail here.
County officials found them
selves in quandary at that time
inasmuch as they could not accept
a bed patient at the county Jail.
Mcdaniel was finally returned to
the hospital by local welfare au-
thorities. He had remained in the
hospital for several weeks under
24-hour state patrol guard. Sheriff
Harold Bidwell said that he is now
able to be up and around and has
been accepted here.
Mcdaniel will face manslaugh-
ter charges following a head-on
auto collision on Route AZ several
weeks ago when two Cleveland
residents died following the wreck.
At the time of his arrest Mcdaniel
gave ficticious name and later it
was found that he was driving a
stolen car. It was also revealed
that he had deserted the Army, Of
ficials said.
Mcdaniel can take only liquid
food due to broken jaw. Reason
for McDaniel's release was hur-
ried, police said, because the hos
pital needed the room and that the
State Patrol needs the three pa
trolmen who have been standing
guard "a hours a day.

Further indications of an inn
proVement in the trend of sales tax
collections were seen in the weekly
report of receipts for the week
ending April 10, State Treasurer
Roger w. Tracy disclosed today.
Sale of prepaid tax receipts
amounted to $2,923, ,136, which was
a drop of only $132,854 from the

$149, 178,515, which is still $6,515,-

weeks remaining in the fiscal year,
receipts are running 4.56 per cent
ahead of a year ago, Tracy said.
Gains were reported in the ap-
parel, building and miscellaneous

increases in both mems and wom-
ems apparel reflecting the Easter

A basic reading series used in
parochial schools in the Columbus
diocese among other diocese in the
nation is the Faith and Freedom
Series. These books have formed
a most important part of the work
of the Commission on American
Citizenship. This Commission, es-
tablished in 1893 within the Cat
holc University in Washington D.
c., by the Archbishops and Bishops
of the American Hierarchy, has
carried out the suggestion of the
late Pope Plus XI of Christian
social living.
It's aim on the primary level is
to teach reading and at the same
time to offer a rich, satisfying con-
tent, centering around the social
religious life of the individual and
his home, neighborhood, local
community, and nation.
During the first year the child
acquires concepts of the first fun
damental principle of all Christ
ian social living, namely, love. He
is led to see how God, the source
of all love, manifests His provi-
dence in the life of the child
through Christian parents and a
Christian home life, and through
the kindness and helpfulness of his
friends, his spiritual advisers and
community workers. UnselfiShness,
respect, gratitude, appreciation for
the work of others are developed.
