GAME PLENTIFUL WITH SQUIRREL SEASON WEEK AWAY

Heavy rains which kept hunters
out Of the field opening day last year
may have been helpful in conserving
some of the breeding stock in this
area, observers believe. Adequate
rains this summer have provided most
streams with water. This means
squirrel will be found in most any
open woods where there is food
supply.
Grey squirrel are still being taken
since the Bluffton Community Sports
mems club stocked 20 pairs in wood
lots near town at the close of the
'53 hunting season. The fact that
young grays were bagged during last
years squirrel season indicates the
stocking produced results. The ami
mails were purchased in Wisconsin
from Sandhill Game Farms.
The limit this year is the same as
last with an aggregate limit of four
fox squirrel or grey squirrel per-
mitted daily, and possession limit
of four after the first day.
Shooting hours are from daylight
to dark. Sunday hunting is prohibited
All hunters, regardless of age, are
required to purchase licenses at a
cost of 50 plus 25 cent issuance fee.
The law also provides that hunters
under Is must be accompanied by
an adult while in the field.
Among the earliest to get '55
hunting licenses locally were E. C.
Althauser, Route /, Bluffton, and E.
c. Romey, president of Citizens
National Bank, Bluffton. Mr.. Alt
hauser bought his license from the
Mumma Electric shop on August 29
and Romey signed up on Aug. 81.
Hunters are being urged to get
permission to hunt of the farmers in
advance of opening day. A hunting
license gives no one the right to
trespass on private property.
Herbert Rupright, license sales
supervisor for the Bluffton Commun-
ity Sportsmen's club, urges local
hunters to get their licenses from a
club dealer. A portion of the issuance
fees from sale of hunting licenses is
rebated to the club for restocking
purposes. These agents include Mis-
wander's News Stand, Walter
mire's, Mumma Electric Shop, Char
lie and Demp's Place in Bluffton;
Sommers Hardware and Snodgrass
Market in Beayerdam; Rhoades
Sporting Goods in Lima, and Robert
Baker Bait Shop in Findlay. Mr..
Rupright also handles the licenses.

The commissions reports that

Atomic Vessel

Navy Secretary Thomas last
night gave a strong Endorsement
to President Eisenhower's pro-
posal that the United States
build an atomic powered mer-
chant ship.
Mr.. Thomas. speaking before
the Propeller Club at the Shore
ham Hotel, declared:
"It will demonstrate to the
world in a tangible way that we
intend to use the power of the
atom for peaceful use and no.
thing else, if we have our way"
He said the vessel would have
large exhibit space and perhaps
large theater. so that as it
travels around the globe and
stops in major ports it could
exhibit "our American system of
liberty and free enterprise"
He recalled that the Navy has
launched the atomic powered
submarine Nautilus, and added
the sea arm would cooperate
fully to assist the American
merchant marine to produce and
sail the atom merchant ship as
quickly as possible.

American business is becoming
increasingly merger-minded.
From the top to the bottom OF
the economic structure. corpo-
rations are absorbing other cor
porations at a rate near the
postwar peak of l946-47.
The movement, however, is not
yet so pronounced as it was in
the pre-depression era of the eos.
A report published today by
the Federal Trade Commission
says the trend is largely the re-
suit of competitive forces. But,
it amplifieS, other factors also
are present-including favorable
tax laws.
The Trade Commission state
ment is based on a "sampling" of
1,773 mergers and acquisitions
from l948-1954 on which it had
reports.
The commission made the
four-month study to determine
If corrective measures should be
taken by Congress, the Justice
Department or the commission
itself.
The FTC polices the Clayton
Act restrictions on the acquisi-
tion by one concern of the assets
of another whose stock it could

waiting cause behind mergers,
according to the Commission.
The search for new sources of
supply for materials, and expan-
sion of operations by diversified
ton offered other reasons.
Explaining the importance of
the tax angle, the commission
cited such benefits in mergers as
tax savings under provisions of
the Internal Revenue Act grant,
ing more favorable rates on capi-
tai gains; tax-free exchanges of
stock and the advantage gained
by carrying forward past operat-
ing losses as credits against fu-
ture earnings.
Inability of smaller concerns
to command adequate financial
resources for expansion, and
situations in which aging own
ers wanted to get their estates
in shape were factors in encour-
aging sales, the Commission said.

Busmon's $500 Verdict
Overturned on Appeal

The Municipal Court of Ap.
peals yesterday reversed a $7,50C
judgment in a suit brought BY
a bus driver for malicious pros
ecution.
The appellate court, in 2
to-1 decision, reversed a Munich
pal Court decision.
Richard Henry Mills, a Cap
ital Transit Co. bus driver OF
Gaithersburg, Md, brought suit
against Irwin M. Levine, after
the bus driver had been acquit-
ted of assault on Mr.. Levine's
12-year-old son Richard.
The alleged incident occurred
in December. 1851, when young
Richard told his father Mr.. Mills,
while demanding surrender of a
transfer, yelled at him, grabbed
and shook him and then pushed
him toward the open door of
the moving bus.
subsequently, Mr.. Mills was
acquitted of an assault charge.
The bus driver then brought
suit in the U. s. District Court
for the District Of Columbia for
malicious prosecution.
Mr.. Levine later brought suit
in behalf of his son in the same
court for damages naming both
Mr.. Mills and the transit COM
pany as defendants. The pre-
trial judge. however, ordered
both cases certified to the
Municipal Court because he felt
a verdict exceeding $1,000 was
not justified.
