The following was taken from the Van Wert Times-Bulletin and , teems to be a logical suggestion: Aa every child knows, in clashes between the forces of good and evil ft inevitably is the Good Guys who win and the Bad Boys who lose. That may be true of the human species (no one wants to disillusion younger readers), but the exact opposite is the rule in the marine life of the Great Lakes. Tk> villain of the lake waters is the sea lamprey, the most primitive of living vertebrates. It Is so much the Bad Guy that only the other day President Bisen* hower signed a bill eanbling the United States to join hands with Canada in an. all-out war against IL Whether this massive retaliation win be successful remains to bo seen. Some of the eonseryative experts who have seen the predators kil loss the lake trout in Lakes Huron and Michigan are skeptical. The lamprey, a throwback to Paleozoic times, is tough. It is particularly tough in the Great Lakes, which it invaded only 22 years ago byway of the Welland CanaL Over thousands of years, the fish of the salt oceans were provided by nature with defenses against the lamprey. In the waters of the Great Lakes, the ravagers found nature unprepared—a situation analogous to Australia’s difficulties when it imported the rabbit In time, no doubt nature if left alone would restore its balance in the lakes'region, bht this might be 1,000 years. Meanwhile, man is doing what he can. But there is one road man has not explored: A campaign to make the lamprey popular as a food delicacy. The finny villains long have been esteemed as food in Europe —were so well thought of by King Henry I of England, in fact that he stuffed himself witl them one night and died of overeating. A 20-pound lamprey pie was given to the present Queen Elizabeth

This should suggest an advertising campaign to place the lamprey on every epicure's table —and thus give man a direct commercial incentive to exterminate it as a natural resource. —o—o— “7 Evon though the national conventions have not been held it is not too early to get yourself .. properly registered with the county clerk.

The "business barometer’’ issued by the Decatur Chamber of Commerce reports that June payrolls were above those of May by about $60,000. With employment off slightly over the ( same period It’is obviousfthat rate of earnlhgs’ is up over one month past. Carloadings both in and out are above last month as well as a year ago by about 300 which indicates to us that generally we remain in the midst of good times. Another interesting figure is the birth-death totals, 59 to 6 —should we plan in terms of a population increase at that rate? If so, we’re resting on our laurels and need to anticipate more rapid growth of our city and the need for Expanded facilities.

CHAPTER 41 BRUCE HELD the unopened letter in bin hand, staring down at it in bewilderment. “But it’s Eileen’s handwriting!'* he ejaculated finally. “How on earth—" He broke off, still staring down at the letter. “Dirk is executor under Mrs. Featherstone’s will," she explained. “He found the letter in a secret drawer at the back of her desjt when he was going through her papers." She stood up slowly. “I’ll leave you to read the letter, Bruce.” He put out a hand to stop her. “No, please don’t go, VaL There may be something in it that concerns us both. I still can’t believe you mean to leave me and go back to Hanson in England." He looked down at the letter again and then back at her. “But of course,” his voice hardened again, “he’s not only in line for a title, but he has inherited Mrs. Featherstone’s money. It should make him a very rich man." "But he isn’t going to use the money for himself," she contradicted him quietly. "He’s having Stormhurst Manor repaired and modernized, and his Cousin Timothy has agreed that it should be turned into a children's convaies- »■- -cent home. Most of Mrs. Feather- » stone's capital will be spent on the upkeep. It’s to be called the Eileen Featherstone Memorial Children’s Homa I understand my brother Tom is going to be resident physician.” ‘Then he must have loved Eileen after all,” he said finally. “I must have misjudged him." She stood up again, this time 1 with determination. Til see you before I leave Montego Bay, Bruce?" ; “Os course, Vai I wish—" But again he broke off. “Since I’m leaving the hospital so soon I must see to my packing. The Carraways have Invited me to stay with them until my boat sails." He nodded briefly. Til look in on voa" ? : . : — When She left the room he was again staring doWn at the letter.

(UP) - The body of Virginia Isabelle Roundenbush. 60-year-old deaf-mute from Elizabeth, was found in the Ohio River Thursday about two and a halt miles south of Bridgeport in Harrison County. ’ ‘ The woman was missing since July 9.

Jane and John put themselves out to show Vai as much of the island as they could before she left They drove her up into the mountains to Mandeville, a gracious little town with old-fashion-ed houses and an Edwardian hotel, attractively cool, and with an enchanting garden that was a riot of tropical Mooms. They drove her along the coast, through thick palm groves and banana plantations, and then suddenly they were hugging the coastline again, driving by tiny bays with yellow-golden sand, sheltered by overhanging palms bent away from the wind. They stopped for a picnic lunch in a small, secluded bay, where they swam and sunbathed and afterwards cooled themselves under a waterfall that trickled down from the mountainside. Then they drove on' into Port Antonio, a charming old town with a small picturesque harbor, and spent the night at the new Tichfleld Hotel. The next day, as they sat lunching on the wide verandah overlooking the harbor, Jane sighed. “It’s a perfect spot, but I wish Dirk ware here with us. An outing is always such fun when he’s in the party.” "But he’ll be back," John said confidently. "Maybe he’ll come back on his honeymoon. What do you think, Vai?” And he smiled slyly across at her. She felt the color rush up under her blue eyes. “How should X know?" "But of course you know." Jane laughed across at her. “Why else do you think we’ve been rushing you all over the island, showing you all the beauty spots, but to lure you into bringing Dirk back? Aqd at course you’re going to marry Dirk.” Vai laughed nervously. "But he may not even like me when he sees me again." “Oh shucks," Jane said. “Once Dirk’s decided on anything, he doesn’t change his mind." • • • Vai hadn’t seen Bruce since that last painful interview at the hospital, but the night before she was to leave Kingston he called.

Sightless Boy's Courage Amazing Four-Year-Old Boy Amazing Grownups ORLANDO, Fla. (UP) — Mike Sibole, the four-year-old boy whose eyes were removed to eave hie life, played the game of sightless existence today with a courage that awed his sorrowing parents. ’ The youngster whose plight tugged at the hearts of newspaper readers in many parts of the world has amazed grownups by eating deftly aad playing with a tool kit in his first days of total blindness. Doctors indicated he could leave the hospital today. Mike’s one remaining eye was removed Wednesday in an operation which doctors said gave him only a 50-50 chance to escape the spread of cancar. His other eye was removed two years ago. To the immediate grave worry of the Rev. and Mrs. James W. Sibole — how he would take the newa of their heart-rending choice of blindness over death — Mike gave reassuring answer by his display of a game spirit. Attendants at the Holiday House sanitarium said Mike had fully regained his robust appetite by Thursday night and ate a meal of chicken and rice soup, mashed potatoes and milk skilfully and without help. For desert ho requested watermelon which was cut into pieces small enough for him. He ate it with his fingers. After supper a load of toys of many kinds which had been sent by well-wishers were brought into Mike’s hospital room, where his father described each of them to Mike. - The tool kit captured Mike’s fancy and he astonished hospital attendants as he completely dismantled a complex wooden toy, handling the wooden tools, nuts, bolt* and screws unaided. Mike unwrapped the cellophane packages of the toy tool kit without help. Then his small fingers explored the shape of each item, he correctly identified each except a tape-rule and a vise. The Siboles said Mike bad not become familiar with either of those tools during his few years of sight. Theft Mike correctly used such tools *e the toy screwdriver hammer to dismantle the toy which came with the set.» Mike’s first request during his first day of full activity was to ask for a visit by his 20-month-old brother. Then he played, with a toy pony given him by the hospital staff. If yon have something to sell 01 rooms for rent, try a Democra 1 Want Ad. It brings results.
