pamper. They are so tame they
will eat from the hands of their
friends.
Emerson Stultz, corner of
Jackson and Grove, has been
feeding a mother squirrel and her
recurring brOods for a number of
years. All are tame enough to
eat from Mr.. Stultz's hands.
Postmaster Ed Rechenbach is also
feeding a grey squirrel family at
his home on West ELM street, and
Banker Elmer Roniey believes that
the squirrel family now moving be-
tween the Combs and Hankish homes
originally lived in "a squirrel den he
built on the rear Of his lot.
The heavy squirrel population with
in the corporation is said to result
from the stocking project carried on
by the Community Sportsmen's club
several years agd. At that time more
than 100 grey squirrels were import
ed from Sandhin Game Farms in
Wisconsin and released on the college
campus. For several years the club
provided food and shelter, and now it
appears that they have found many
friends to look after them.
FORREST BASINGER of Riley
street was so elated Tuesday night on
landing four big pickerel at the
quarry that he decided his wife
should see them too. At II p. m. he
brought them into the house, up the
stairway to the room where Mrs
Basinger was already fast asleep.
Look" said hubby, turning on
the light and proudly displaying
the beauties.
Look OUT, said Mrs. Basinger
getting into outdoor tOgs and
gathering up the fishing tackle.
Mrs. Basinger wena fishing. Mr..
Basinger went to bed.
She reports catching a small trout
and pickerel, but she threw 'em back
into the quarry when they didn't
compare to Forests catch.

to you, but if yop keep your eyes
open you'll be surprised at the many
increases this spring in the local
squirrel families! Walk slowly next
time you pass til George Combs or
Charley Hankish houses, and you
may see what we mean.
The grey squirrel mother who has
been inhabiting the Combs maple
tree recently removed her family Of
five youngsters across the street to
Charley's tree on the corner. Reason
for moving is apparent-Mrs. Bushey
Tail is infanticipating again, and it
is time for the first youngsters to
shift for themseWes-where she can
still keep on eye on them.
GEORGE has placed feeding

and another on the tree in front
of his house. The family devOurs

Mr.. Combs and his neighbOr, c. V.
Stonehill, busy keeping the feed
ers supplied with grain. Plenty
of food on hand keeps the young
fry content and not so apt to
cross Route rs in search of more

ANOTHER FAMILY of squirrel on
North Jackson provides much enter
tainment for the neighbors near the
Lloyd Braun home. Mrs. Wade Bech-
tol, who lives on the corner, recently
observed the mother moving her
brood to a new home on the corner of
Jackson and Elm. The mother squir-
rel grasps the huskies by the neck
and literally drags them down the
sidewalk to their new home.
On one OCCASION a small boy
attempted to catch the mother
and one of her young, but she
was able to back up a tree, drag
ging the young squirrel along
Just in time to avoid the boys
outstretched hands.
1t is quite a sight to see the antics
of these little tree dwellers, now al
most as large as their mothers. They
scamper around the trees like young
kittens at play.

scenes decided to visit her old friend Jean
Simmons on the 'Desiree" set.
Marilyn hadn't expected conversation
with the great man, nor had Marion expected
so welcome surprise. The meeting was
enthusiastic
What people had expected to transpire
between the two, it is hard to imagine. but
there could not have been more excitement if

Drivers License
Rules Relaxed

Drivers license rules have been
relaxed somewhat to allow a long
er renewal period, according to
the Department of Highway Safe
ty. The new rule allows the driv-
er a six months period to renew
without taking a drivers test
rather than the former expiration
date of three months following
the drivers birthday, it was said
While it is not legal to drive an
automobile after the expiration
date, the license may be renewed
any time within a six months per-
iod. Plans are being made to not
ify drivers of the approach of ex-
piration of their licenses but this
system has not been put into eff
feet as yet due to a limited staff
in the department.

Dear Mr. Conway:
Close as you are personally to
the pulse of public life, you are
familiar with the nations No. l
current crisis - the problems of
education.
But I think all of us have to
raise our sights. The situation is
worse than each of us thinks he
knows. Ponder these new & start
ling facts from the September, '54,
special bulletin of the National
Association of Manufacturers in
which they delivered a Stinging
rebuke to the people of America
for their "lackadaisical support of
education.
Public School Enrolment: Going
from % million 1953-54 to IS mil
lion in So.
High School Enrolment: Going
from &c millions to 81 millions
by SO.
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1954-10-19

College Enrolment: To double
by 1870 - pinch already being
felt.
Last year the United States was
short $4,000 elementary and sec
ondary classrooms. By 1860 that
shortage will amount to 662,577.
To meet the load we will have to
complete a new classroom every
five minutes, day and night, for
the next six years! |!
We need, right now, $4,000 new
elementary school teachers; Only
Only $4,000 thus prepared will
graduate this year; Our colleges
must be equipped to prepare them
and to prepare our business, in
dustrial and professional forces.
Last year, according to the US.
Department of Commerce, the
people of the United States spent:
$685. 100000 Chats billions) on
tobacco; $8,870,000000 chats bill
lions on liquor and beer; $11, ,000,-
100000 CHATS billions on recrea-
ton; We spent nine billions on
our public schools and colleges;
We are spending this year on
foreign relief four billions; We
are spending this year on defense
$51, ,9OO,0O0OO0.
Not necessarily disputing any of
these other expenditures, may I
ask, is not education security? OF
the most basic, stable and perma-
nent sort?
The Russians seem to think so,
despite their terrific outlays for
armies, navieS, air forces and arm
aments. Last year they trained AZ
600 engineers. The United States
trained $4,000! Last year, accord
ing to Admiral Rickover, our
atomic submarine scientist, there
were half as many again students
enrolled in their colleges and uni
VerSitieS as in the u. S. A.
Russian preparation for educa-
ton is the most tragic and ap-
parently unnoticed fact of the cold
war. It's frightening. They know
now why they have not been able

horde means 20,00O,000 new jobs

We can have, if we want it, the

bers are backing a statewide "Op-

regret and lip service to this prob
lem. Secondly, i have been for
several years Cleveland area

aware of their plight, too, and
have been raising money for
them.
The enclosed sets forth some of
the problems of only one of the
states 54 colleges and universi-

Dol of the plight of all of them,
public and private. Their prob

They are about to be engulfed.
We seek to enlist your help as
key person in getting the story
across again and again to the peo-
pie of Ohio. They have never fail
ed yet to meet a big issue, once
they are familiar with it. Already
they are giving the blood, sweat
and tears necessary to try to build
the required educational plant.
But now they must be prepared
all over again for the shock that
their efforts so far, herculean
though they have been, seem only
to be the start On a long, hard
road.
We have simply got 10 keep our
