Protest
Taxpayer.

I protest using the "roost-no'
more" chemical against the
starlings.
First the squirrels had to 60
from the White House lawn
and now the starlings from the
roads leading to the White
House. 1t seems we are taking
our games and our parades too
seriously and consequently we
are losing both our sense Of
humor and our humanity.
So what If some mischievous
squirrels tried to share the
Presidents golf game. and so
what II the starlings make
their particular contribution
to the excitement Of the in
augural parade?

Ascent

A balloonist made an ascent
in the st. Louis area a half
a century ago. and, as reported
in The Star on December 81,
1906, described part of his trip
this way: Along the journey
we amused ourselves by shout
ing Happy New Year from the
clouds. We had a big mega
phone. We must have fright
ened some of the natives of
Calhoun County out of their
wits. No doubt some of them
thought the angels were flying
through the air and extending
New Year greetings. The
chickens all took flight when
they saw our approach. .
Once we sailed over a sheep
pen low enough for our guide
rope to drag through the
flock. They broke out of the
pens and fled heller skelter
through the woods. We saw
many flocks of wild duck and
could have had great sport
shooting them if we had had
guns.

Of their feelings a half a
century ago during one of their
own entertainments. On jan

ported: "A smoker and enter

Liquor Store To
Close Earlier On
Friday, Saturday

The Ohio State Liquor Store in
London will close two hours ear
ier on Fridays and Saturdays
than they have been closing in the
past, after October l. Information
from the Ohio Department of
Liquor Control said the closing is
result of the customers not U.s.
ing the service of the extra two
hours on Fridays and Saturdays.
F. M. Bigelow, Manager of the
London Store, located on East
First Street, said the hours of bus
mess there will be from HOO am.
until 700 pm. The surveys had in
dicated that the extra two hours
working time were not producing
a proportionate share of the days
business.
Department Director Robert B.
Krupansky said the extra hours
will be maintained in only so of
the States 246 Liquor Stores. He
added that the extra expenses of
the longer hours did not balance
with the added business done dur
ing the evening periods.
Krupansky added that further
studies of the stores will be made,
and additional sale hours contin-
ued where particular demands for
the extra service is justified.

zelpha Alice Boss. daughter of
Lewis and Mary Ellen (Windle)
loops was born June 20, 1888 at
Denver in Ross County, Ohio, and
departed this life on September 16,
1857.
She was devoted wife and

flowers She never complained about
her pains or sickness although we
all knew she had them. She will be
sadly missed by all who knew her.
Sunset and Evening star
And one clear call for me.
And may there be no moaning of the
bar
When put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems
Too full for sound and foam
When that which drew from out the
boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell.
And after that, the dark
And may there be no sadness of
farewell
When i embark.
For though from out our bourne of
time and place
The flood may bear me far,
/ hope to see my pilot face to face
When / have crossed the bar.
We wish to thank our friends,
neighbors and relatives for their
kindness and sympathy shown at
the death of our wife and mother,
Mrs. Zelpha Boss. We also wish to
thank Rev Hammonds for his con-
songs, and the E. T. Snyder Funeral

standing services.
