"¢ J. O. Penrod is 'owling too. He'd like to get rid of the hoot owl he's holding solitary at his home 540 N. Moreland Ave. eThe ow! was captured Friday Jight when Mr, Penrod and his son-in-law, C. E. Strain, knocked him out of a tree In their front yard. Onee they had him, they had to figure out a way to hold him. That's where the bird cage came in. “We almost had to stuff him in.” said Mrs. Penrod. “He stands 23 inches tall and the cage is only 24 inches high. And he seems to be pretty peeved because he can't use lis 24-inch ‘wingspread.

We have to shove {t.at his beak and then vank out fingers away right away” The Penrods don't know what to do with the bird. The novelty of having an owl around the house is wearing off, Mr. Penrod is now wondering —HOO HOO HOO wants a hoot owl.
