Note Flung in Car
'Sturtles Royalty

IBADAN, Nigeria. Feb. II R,
"A jobless African electrician
caused CONSERVATION today by
tossing letter into the open car
carrying Britain's Queen Eliz-
abeth on her royal tour of
Nigeria.
The Duke of Edinburgh, riding
with his wife. caught the letter
as the couple was being driven
away from University College
Hospital.
The man. who was arrested
and later released. said his name
was Michael Tayo. He protested
he had been unfairly dismissed
from his job at the hospital,
which is under construction.
Tayo apparently had been
hiding under a ramp On which
cars drove to the main door. He
popped out and ran across the
forecourt as the royal car moved
slowly away.
AS he reached = over and
dropped the note, the Duke
grabbed it with an expression
of surprise. The Queen was
waving in the other direction
and did not indicate that she
noticed the incident.

Backing the plan, Mr.. Carr

Speedy Decisions Asked
Also supporting the plan. Mr..
Mccormack called for legislation
to revise present utility commits
sion regulatory procedures to
speed up its decision on fare

anybody who wishes to object.
Mr.. Scully, discussing the
financing, urged the new COM
pany be issued a franchise that
could not be Cancelled for at
least 20 years and said his firm
would not float the stock issue
until after it had received salts
factory engineering and legal
surveys.
Another function of the engi-
neering survey, Mr.. Larrick said,
would be to determine the exact
number of buses the company
will buy. Declaring the system
would have no transfers, he said
feeder lines should be kept to
a minimum. He declared he
plans to use only 51-passenger
buses. since they are as cheap
to operate as smaller buses.
Mr.. Kampelman said the COM
pany plans to hire most of the
present Capital Transit employees
and take over the union-company
retirement fund. He said his
group will negotiate with the
union on special retirement for
any street railway workers who
cannot learn to work with buses.
The suggestion for a 81 mil
lion Government-insured loan
to the company got a chill re-
ception from the commission.
although Mr.. Kampelman and
Mr.. Carr insisted 1t probably
would never be used and was

Speaking for Mr.. Fox's oppos-

He made the statement in

animal that crys like a baby and

have invaded local woodlands, is prob
ably a lynx we have been advised by
at least two persons since the story
appeared in last weeks Bluffton
News.
Mrs. Harold Hendricks called to say
that summer residents near st.
Ignace at the Michigan Straits re-
ported hearing such an animal last
summer when she was visiting there.
when you find that animal :.
if you ever do it'll be a lynx,
one old native of the area told the
summer people.
1t was found, and it was lynx,
according to Mrs. Hendricks.
LOU BURKHOLDER also reported
he had experienced in Gladwin
county, Michigan, the killing of a
lynx cat after the populace reported
hearing almost human screams.
This particular cat had tufted ears
and big furry paws and weighed GA
pounds.
Lou says they'll jump man from

WE WE'RE ALL FOR organizing a

Dion Henderson writing for the
Associated Press in which he claims
that the lynx has all but disappeared
from the u. S. Even in the widest
north country biologists refer to the
lynx as a remnant species, says Mr..
Henderson.
He declares that hundreds of lynx
are reported every year from places
where they never existed, and this, he
claims, is due to mistaking relative
the bobcat.
Size is not true distinction, says
Henderson, since bobcats will average
close to 20 pounds, and big one may
go as high as 40 pounds.
In color, too, they are similar
mottled gray. But the lynx is more
nearly an even gray than the
thoroughly speckled bobcat.
Best way to tell lynx from a bob
cat is to look at his ears. The lyn'
has tufted ears with the upswep
hairs frequently several inches lont
where the bobcat has only a trace o
tuft. Paws of the cats are a deat

The Potomac is loaded with
perch. The water apparently is
so cold the fish are not spawning
as usual. Some few hickory shad
have been taken this past week
above Fletcher's cove, but not
enough to make the trip worth
while. However, if you like those
big humpbacked, yellow bellied
perch, they are there in numbers
and this week end should see
some nice strings taken. Julius
Fletcher says this season has
been very backward. Usually by
this time large schools of newly
Matched minnows are visible
around his boat dock. None have
shown up so far, which indicates
the water still is too cold for
most species of fish to spawn.
Herring are plentiful around
