Hot Off The Grill

Down in Randolph county, Mr. > and Mrs. Revillo Gilmore are used to strange varmints in their turkey flock. But a few weeks ago a real puzzler happened: ipme animal killed the turkeys and ate only the heads! Gilmore stood guard, but saw nothing. So he set a trap. Low and behold ,the killer was a fivepound owl with a 54-inch wingspread, which got caught by one toe in the trap. Most Embarrassing Event The other night we were discus.sing the subject of embarrassing events, and Wayne Rothgeb, WKJG-TV farm director, told us his: a few Christmases ago he had to go uptown to make some lastminute purchases during the rush hour, and decided to park .in the I city parking lot-building, with its ramp leading up to various- floors.

The ceiling of the ramp gets lower and lower, and had caught, crushed, and entangled the mailbox. Traffic kept him from backing up, and he couldn’t go forward, so working for long minutes to get the box freed, and as dozens of other trapped drivers in the line fussed and fumed, he did his best to get out of the embarassing entaglement at rush-time — and all the time with his good-will advertising infuriating the would-be parkers trapped on the up-ramp!

While visiting some farms, he and the others not only asked’ questions, but were asked some in return.
