Seeks Information On Bats In County A plea for information about bats in Adams county was made by James B.’ Cope of Earlham College. Richmond, when he talked with county agent Leo Seltenright and others here this week. Professor Cope is trying to find colonies of bats which may be in houses, barns, trees, caves or any other sheltered places. This is part of a study he is making of the life 1 histories, distribution and habits of bats/He recently received a three- ' year grant from the national • science foundation to finance the I study. The study covers the entire state. ■ He is starting the second year in the northern two-thirds of the ■ state. Professor Cope* is assisted by Roger Grothaus and Bernie . Gross, 1959 graduates from Earl- ; ham College. | In recent years, Pro. Cope* and his associates have attempted to study migration of bats by banding bats which spend the winter in I caves. A light-weight aluminum I band issued by the U.S. fish and [ wildlife service is placod on the ; wing of each bat. Each band car--1 ties a different number, such as 26-507563, so that if a banded bat is found at a later time, it can be recognized. These bats have been found to ' return to the same caves in sucI ceeding winters, but very few have i ever been found In summer. Also, bats banded in Indiana in the sum- ! mer very seldom are found in the i caves which Cope has studied in I winter. The perplexing problem of | where these bats live throughout : the year is one Cope hopes to [ answer through his three-year ' study. Anyone knowing the location of ! a colony of bats is requested to I send the information to Prof. Cope ■ at Earlham College, Richmond, or i telephone or write to this newspaper office. If anyone finds a | banded bat, Cope would also be interested in learning the number i on the band. Colorado Youth Is I ■ Spelling Champion WASHINGTON (UPD — Tall, slow-speaking Joel Montgomery, j 12. Denver. Colo., today became [ the first boy 7 in five years to win the national spelling bee. Joel won out over runner-up . Robert Crossley. 13, Center Saure, Pa., by correctly spelling | “fanfaronade,” which had tripped I Robert. Joel then correctly spelled i “catamaran.” 1 The two boys battled it out ! through six rounds of tonguetwisting words that make up a speller’s nightmare. The victory for Joel, a seventh I grader, came in the 30th round of j [ the two-day bee and after a- see- [ saw battle in which both he and [Robert misspelled the same word ’ —“vinaigrous.” Under the rules of [the game, the bee then continued land Joel became the winner. Six girls and five boys were all [that survived from a field of 70 [crack spellers who twisted and squirmed their way through 11 rounds Wednesday during., the spelldown. All contestants wara 9 to 14 years old. [ Joel’s victory was worth SI,OOO leash and a weekend all-expenses 1 [paid trip to New York, plus n engraved plaque and a trophy. Runner-up Robert won SSOO in cash. The contest was sponsored by Scripps-Howard and other newspapers. Seek Settlement Os Newspaper Strike ST. LOUIS <UPl>—Negotiations I were scheduled to resume today [in an effort to settle a strike by I stereotypers whi x h forced St. i Louis’ two daily newspapers, the j Post-Dispatch and Globe - Democrat. to suspend publication. I Federal mediator Arthur Hale I arranged the meeting in hopes of [obtaining an early settletnent of i the walkout. Th6 strike by meml bees of St. Louis Stereotypers Uniion No. 8 began at 1:01 a.m. Wednesday after most of the final edition of the •morning GlobeDemocrat was printed. The evening Post-Dispatch was not published. Members of the St.-: Louis Newspaper Guild refused to ] cross the stereotypers’ picket! lines. I The Globe-Democrat had recent-' ly resumed publishing after a 14week strike by Guild members. I Employes of the newspaper were [ due to receive their first pay-1 checks today Since the Guild' strike. Most radio and television stations expanded the length of their | newscasts and added news programs due to the lack of newspapers. One television station went on the air four hours earlier to increase newscasts:' The stereotypers walked out in a contract dispute with the Pulitzer i Post-Dispatch i Publishing Co., which prints both newspapers i updfr a contract with the GlobeDemocrat. 1 Chief iss’ue was a"" contract clause under which printers would be allowed to use "base” materials other than those supplied by the stereotypers.

Refused License At , Angola, Find Proof < Os Bride's "Age" Russians, by nature it seems, are a very persistent lot. Government officials have noticed this in dealing with Kremlin envoys and ambassadors. A specific native of Russia, now living in Findlay, 0., proved he can be as stubborn as the best of them by not letting an Angola county clerk deny him a marriage license. Louis Joseph Fenberg, born in Grajewb, Russia, some 66 years ago, proved that love could not be deterred in its romantic motion when he appeared with his bride-to-be at the Adamis county clerk’s office Wednesday. Mrs. Ethel Jackson, 60, of Findlay, 0., appropriately blushed when her fiance asked Dick Lewton for a certificate, “guaranteeing the rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.” The couple had been refused a license at Angola because the oncemarried Mrs. Jackson could not provide proof] that “she was over eighteen." They had the proof Wednesday, and a smiling Dick Lewton filled out the proper forms, granting them the license.
