The many friends of Rev. and
Mrs. F. Charles Louhoff deeply re-
greet the time when these fine chris
tian people retire from our midst
Just few short years ago these
people came to our community when
Rev. Louhoff accepted the pastor
ship of Houston Methodist Church
and for which both he and his good
wife have worked increasingly for
the good of the Church and the
community. Much credit goes to
Mrs. LouhOff for the splendid work
she has done for the younger
generation, in the Houston Metho-
dist Youth Fellowship, and as for
Rev. Louhoff. he was ever faith
full in visiting the sick and the
shut-ins, both in their homes and
those confined to the hospital. He
always found time for this good
work and was the means of bring
ing spiritual comfort and consola-
ton to the sick and the bereaved.
His services were in great demand
and he is going to be missed i'm
mensly in this community, not only
by the members of his own church,
but by those OF other denominations
as we'll. For it is such as Rev.
Louhoff who teach us;
Our feelings to control,
And that true faith and virtue
Give courage 20 the soul.
1t is such as He who teach us
Life's truest, finest things
And though he will not be in
our midst
Yet his spirit will smile and sing
Written by a friend.

in providing permits, public hunt
ing area maps, and other informa-
tion to the over 1000 advanced
season nimrods who signed up by
the end of the first day.
The 1900 hunters who were
successful on the first day bagged
1916 squirrels. This is considered
to be good harvest for the first
day, when the limited hunting
areas and heavy hunting pressures
are considered. Heavy hunting
pressure will provide a larger har-
vest of rabbits or pheasants, but in
the case of squirrel hunting where
stealth and stalking skill are ex-
tremely important, heavy hunting
pressure will not necessarily insure
large individual bags.
The results of the first day indi-
cate that the experimental advance
season provided lot of outdoor
recreation and sport for a lot of
people. The vast majority of the
hunters were orderly, and respect
ed the rights of surrounding land
owners. After four days of hunt
ing, however, there were at least
13 arrests for hunting off of the
public areas.
Starting with September Z, spe-
cial permits were not necessary to
hunt squirrels on these public
areas, but hunters should stay on
the areas and observe the regula-
tions. Successful hunters will, how
ever, be required to have transpor-
tation tags put on their squirrels
at the checking stations.
The public hunting areas where
the advanced squirrel season is in
progress are: Waterloo, Trimble,
Woodbury., Brush Creek, Roose-
velt-Shawnee, Wolf Creek, Cooper
Hollow, Delaware, and Milan.
