into four parts. 1t began with the
lyric poets and their contributions
This was followed by poems in
the humorous realm. A choral read
ing by rne ninth grade eXtOlled the
work of one of our outstanding
narrative poets. How can the lang
uage of the poets be truly express
ed? Only the French are the mas
ters of such elOquence. Part four

mical and melodic French poetry
This was recited to us by various
pupils in French. The program end
ed with a poem dedicated to the
poets, 1t was entitled "a Salute
to the Poets" and was written by
Mr. William H. Holmes. This pro-

HUNTERS LAST RESORT

GRATIS. Ohio (AP) - Pheasant
hunters in southwest Ohio know
they don't have to go home empty
handed.
They need only stop at Dan
Petry's farm west of Gratis to buy
few of the 5000 or so birds he
has on hand
Most of my orders are for com
mercial game preserves, he says,
but | get a lot of orders for single
birds, especially around Thanks
giving and Christmas time"
Petry raises the birds carefully
from chicks, and at 16 weeks the
nearly grown birds get the run of
the farm-with a small strap over
a wing to prevent flight.
Some hunters say they get a
better meal by buying Petr US
pheasants because they are raised
on special feed and are tender,
since they can't fly.
He'll also sell them dressed,
ready for the oven, and that goes
over a lot better than a wild bird
with the hunters wife.

when the former pastor was
called to fill the pulpit at Hiss

DR.. Cromell pointed out that
the congregation of Rockville
