CATAWBA BRIEFS
Pheasant Crashes Through
Glass Window In I Home
By MRS. A. H. ROFKAR
News Staff Correspondent

Miss Amanda Rofkar had a
startling experience Sunday after
noon when, while visiting with her
brother Edwin of Toledo, a large
cock pheasant crashed through a
living room window, and for a
time took possession of the house.
The frightened bird finally took
refuge beneath a davenport, where
it was caught by Mr.. Rofkar who
lost no time in returning it to the
outside. 1t is believed the bird was
being chased and flew blindly in
to the large window. Some minor
damage was done to curtains and
contents of the room.
The regular meeting of the Dor
cas- Society will be held in the
home of Mrs. Floyd Herl this
Thursday evening. Mrs. Herl will
lead devotions and Mrs. Weldon
Sheerer and Mrs. Justina Later
will serve as hostesses. Plans will
be made for the annual Bazaar to
be held Dec. 10 in Community
Hall.
Local school children will be
given vacation Friday when the
teachers attend the Northwestern
Teachers Association meeting in
Toledo. Many shopping trips are
being planned by mothers and
their children.
Mrs. E. F. Later, son Edward,
and Mrs. Arthur Rofkar enjoyed a
trip through central and southern
Ohio last week, stopping enroute
home to spend two nights with
with and Mrs. Richard Later and
baby in Columbus. Zoar, Schoen-
braun, Marietta and Hooking State
Park were among interesting
places visited.
Mrs. Edward Ludwig, Mrs. Ar
thur Rofkar and Mrs. Clarence
Brokate attended the Farm Bur
eau Women's Rally in Bowling
Green Monday.
Barton Drickhamer, who is at

The
JEWEL BOX
Convention Stuff

Well, another convention of the
Ohio Newspaper Women's Asso-
citation is over-the SIND annual
conclave this year, at Mansfield
and good one it was. We're
mighty happy that the Ottawa
County News got recognition to
the extent of placing second in the
state in features, with an honor
able mention in news and for this
column. But even if there hadn't
been any prize winning, it was
swell weekend.
Author-farmer Louis Bromfield
had us out to Malabar Friday night
for cocktail party and buffet
supper, and he's a wonderful host.
Had funny experience going out
-Malabar is about IL miles from
the hotel, back over winding Rich
land county roads. The convention
committee had chartered busseS
to take us all out.
And the busses got lost. About
/, halfway, the driver stopped and
sheepishly admitted he didn't
know where he was. So into
farmhouse he had to trek, and
ask directions. But we got there
eventually.
The famous Bromfield Boxers,
Rex, Rocky and Susan, were very
much a part of the party as the
newspape rgang milled around
Malabar's big rooms. Rex wanted
one of the davenports, and if you
wanted to sit there he'd gracious
ly share it with you. There was
another dog, too, big black Ger
man. Inez Robb, who was Satur-
day nights banquet speaker, week
ended at Malabar. She explained
the Shepherd was a visitor too
he's a neighbor dog who comes
over to visit. Very much at home,
too. But so was everybody. Mala-
bar is that kind of place.

She ShovIda Got A Medal

lnez Robb, whose "All Right,
Let's Face 1t" column is top
notch nationally syndicated fea-
ture, made big hit and some of
her anecdotes of reportprial ex-
perienceS are gems.
Like the time she was invited
to have ceremonial coffee with
some important Arabs, following
mosque services, while she was a
war correspondent. Army intelli-
gence impressed on her that it
was high honor, that to .antag-
onize the Arabs could have a dis
astrouS effect On the whole war.
That was was sure to antagonize
them if she refused to eat what
ever was served her-that was the
worst insult possible. 1t might
even be that great Arabian deli
cacy, the eye of sheep, but she
HAD to eat it, they stressed.
She got her mind-and her
Stomach-attuned to the eye-of-a-
sheep idea when the Big Moment
came. But she was happy to find
the refreshment with the coffee
was sort of a candied orange.
quite pleasant to taste, and she
was digging in happily :. =.
When suddenly she spied a big
fly baked right in the orange. And
with a battery of fierce Arabian
eyes fixed on her every mouthful,
lnez ate the orange, fly and ALL
"And that" she says modestly,
"is how | won the war;"
Inez, pretty and delicate look
ing, said in a recent interview
when she was asked for formula
OF newspaper women success that
a pair of big blue eyes doesn't
hurt darn bit. But she has a lot
more than eyes like that to ac-
count for her fame. Her age? She
, says she's "a woman between the
age of consent and collapse"
She was one of the reporters
who went out to do a preview OF
the Kinsey book, and you should
hear her tell of the fantaSic Sc
crecy with which it was guarded.

says, 81 interviewed Kinsey. Not

She pored over the book four
days before she did her review.

Ken Woodman, editor of the
Mansfield News Journal, had a
woeful look when he showsds up
with Police Chief Paul Martin and
some other dignitaries to appear
on Saturday morning panel.
He spent considerable time, he
said, writing two pages of golden
prose" in an editorial about tele-
Visions effect on children. He pol
lshed each word with love and
care, and he read it over with
pride when it got into print.
That night his wife was telling
about reading ''this terrific televi-
sion editorial" But, she said, she
had read several papers at once,
and she didn't remember where
she read it-she thought it was

ENDLESS DILEMMA: Is it
possible that movies can be too

they can. Good films, they
argue, mean long holdovers, long
holdovers mean a limited variety

patrons at home. Or at least
out of movie theaters which
breaks the attendance habit. !,
However, as between the dilemma
created by brief-running low

holdoverS, movie producers are
pretty sure they have learned the
answer. Too hard a way to
