OWL LAFFS Weekly Letter

A WISE OWL

Guy Spitler, extensive local junk
dealer, (that boost will cost him a
cigar), like most of us, sure has his
troubles. At a sale last week one of
his' neighbors bought an heirloom
in an old cupboard.
The neighbor asked Guy to take
it along home and drop it off when
he passed the house. Well, good-
natured Guy granted the favor but
when he tried to unload that cup-
board the lady of the house threat-
ened to break a leg, twist his neck,
kneck his ears off and a lot of oth-
er things that wouldn't look nice in
print.
After all that, Guy drove on, took
the cupboard home and now has it
on his hands. And he hasn't been
himself since.

One of our - Frosh defined the spi- |
pal column as a bunch of bones
that run up and down your back
keeping you from being legs ali the
way up to your neck.

Signs that herald the arrival of
spring and new life also fortell the
fiery death of many living things in
‘he plant and animal world.
Foresters and wildlife conserva-
tionists dread early spring, the per-
iod before green growths have re-
placed dry, inflammable
he havoc wrourht by uncontrolled
forest and field fires.
Every year, persons who are
careless with grass or brush fires,
and smokers who indifferently toss
away lighted matches and burning
tobacco while outdoors, cause the
unnecessary oss of much valuable
timber, as well as food and cover
for wildlife. In many cases, flames
kill nesting birds and their eggs, or
they destroy animals too young or
too panicked and bewildered to run
away, even while escape is pos-
sible.
Posters saying “Everybody loses
when timber burns”, “Break that
match” and “Be sure your camp
fire is dead out” are familiar to all.
Other caution slogans long have
warned of the dangers and the los-
ses that accompany wild, running
fires. Millions of persons have seen
motion pictures or heard lectures
on fire prevention, and young and
have learned valuable

whom she had just refused a date)
“I'll have you understand that my
grandmother was at the Boston Tea
Party.” His ego hurt, the boy re-
plied: “Yeah, she was probably one
of the first bags that was thrown
over the side.”
Once upon a time there was a;
man who always called a spade a|

floor.
A Marietta Avenue husband was
quietly enjoying Sunday afternoon
peace, when his wife, reading the
fashion section of the paper, re
marked: “Wasp-waists are back in
style for spring. They were styled
when you were courting me,, dear.”
And absolutely without thought,
her hubby answered: “I remember.
That's how a lot of us fellows got:

lovely Sunday was ruined.

in spite of any amount of education

that cause sweating, choking fire
crews grueling hours of grimy,
wearying work.
Pennsylvania has an excellent
record in forest fire fighting and
control. Of most importance, how-
In these critical times resource
conservation is tremendously im-
portant. Anyone who would want-
only or negligently burn and kill
plant and animal life now is guilty
not only of criminal disregard for
private and state property, he must
be considered actually traitorous,
te a degree.
Fox Not Choosy About Fare
Said Lewis H. Estep, Berwick
game protector, “On one of the rab-
| bit farms in my district I noticed
the farmer had a nice flock of mus-
covy ducks. Knowing that foxes in-
habit a brush patch nearby, I asked
the man in January whether foxes
ever bothered the ducks. He said
they hadn't to the best of his know-
ledge.
“Later, when the farmer had fin-
ished trapping bunnies on the rab-
bit farm he told me foxes had taken
28 of his ducks within 2 weeks. This
makes it appear that the foxes liv-
ed on natural fare, rabbits, until
supply was reduced, then
here’s a modern proposal switched to ducks.”

Speaking of matrimony—the ease
with which they dispense of it to-
day is shocking and it's even affect-
ing the children’s play. One divor-
cee asked her little girl: “Darling,
where’s your doll?” The child im-
mediately exclaimed: “Aw, Willy
has the doll. We're divorced and I'm
aw, arded five lollypops a week ali-
mony.”
In my estimation money may not
bring happiness, but most people
like enough of it around so they,
can choose their own misery.

My son 7 years old and his friend
were enjoying the afterncon paint-
ing pictures. My son finished his
werk and said: “See the fruit I
painted!”
His friend eyed it and snorted:
“That don’t look like fruit to me!”
My seven year old explained pa-
tiently, “Anybody can paint fruit,
1 painted the juice!” ~ - Genius, no
less.

I seem to be concentrating on
the small fry this week, but they
come forth with such wisdom I
can't seem to pass it up. Just for

note which read:
to stamp out the rabies scourge.
| The recent change from snow and
cold to warm spring weather has
advanced the program considerably
in the northedstern counties.
The Department of Agriculture
recently reported the following 18
positive cases of rabies in counties
named the week of March 17 alone:
Montgomery County, 7 foxes, 1 cat;
Chester, 3 foxes; Susquehanna, one
fox, 1 dog; Butler, 1 fox; Bradford
1 cat; Delaware, 1 fox; Lancaster, 1
fox; and Lackawanna, 1 dog.
Excerpts from a Department of
Agriculture release dated March 20
read: “There has been a sharp drop
in recent weeks in the number of
claims for state payment on losses
of livestock and poultry killed or
injured by uncontrolled dogs and
wild foxes.
“Since the
Game Commission
| started a poison campaign against
foxes—the killing and injury of
livestock and poultry has dropped
to lower levels than for many
months.
“To date, rabies has appeared in
16 counties—Up to March 20 the
number of cases of rabies identi-
fied by the Department of Agricul-
ture since January 1 totaled 148. Of
these, 23 were found in dogs, 5 in
cats, 31 in cattle, 83 in foxes, and
there were 4 sheep, 1 pig and 1 rac

time to rub some salt in the wounds
of the nice people of the land ere
they forget the late unpleasantness.

State and your own Town will be
looking you over with a sharp eye

What is next, is not easy to de

in stock. An unusual number of
dogs wearing bright new collars
were observed tied in yards, but
there were, also, numerous dogs
| running about dragging a length of
rope.
Evidently, many persons who rec-
ognized the need to tie up their pets|
failed to check with the resourceful-
ness of a canine. The dogs, it would]
seem, became so fretful under re-|
straint they chewed through tie|
ropes to regain their former free-|
dom. |
Winter Kind To 'Wildlife
Pennsylvania fortunately did not!
suffer the deep snows and late]
storms that plagued some other
states this past winter. As a result
her wildlife has come through the,
critical months with little loss and]
in good condition, it is generally re-|

FOUR SENIORS REPORT ON
LECTURE THEY HEARD FRIDAY |
On Friday afternoon, March 28th,
four girls from the senior class of |
Mount Joy High School attended a
Civil Defense lecture sponsored by|
the Women's Republican Club of]
Lancaster. It was held on E. Orange]
Street, Lancaster. The four girls at-|
tending were Nancy Ashenfelter,|
Polly Brooks, Verla Sullenberger,!
and Jane Wisegarver. There were!
students there representing nearly]
every school in the county. The,
speaker was Dr. Richard
who is State Director of Civil De-|
fense. |
Dr. Gerstell explained the affects,
of the Atomic Bomb, and the re-
sults of the tests in Bikini and in
the West. He said that heat and
blast cause the direct damage, but
flying glass accounts for most of
the accidents. The A-Bomb itself]
cannot cause fires, because after|
the heat comes and starts a fire,
the blast comes three seconds la-
ter and blows it out. Therefore the
fires after an A-Bomb attack are
caused mostly by houses falling on
stoves and by short circuits in|
wires. Dr. Gerstell also told how|
you should protect yourself if
there were an A-Bomb attack. i
Besides explaining the affects’
that rumors about the A-Bomb
have on us. He said people hear!
something and believe it without
stopping to reason whether or not
it is possible. He used biological
warfare as an example. It seems
scientists found food poison ex-
tract from food can be utilized and
one ounce of it can kill 840,000,000
mice. Then somebody figured that,
pound for pound that would be|
220,000,000 people (More than the
population of the United States.)
This started the rumor that a new
weapon had been discovered which!
of it. Dr. Gerstell explained how
foolish this was. He said that di-|
viding one ounce of that poison a-
mong everybody in the United|
States would be like dividing one
aspirin among that many people.
