down from generation to generation. It will take her weeks, perhaps months, to complete her
painstaking work on one of these baskets. Editors on the N. E. A. convention cruise to Alaska
found added interest in visiting with the friendly native people and learning of their customs
and traditions.

broken Heart No Mere Figure Of
Speech, Dr. J. J. Sutter Declares
Staggered Hunting Season Arranged
For Benefit Of Farmers This Year
Thirty counties in southwestern
Ohio will be restricted to Nov. 15 to

condition.
Defective teeth and pyorrhea are
among the greatest causes of heart
disease, the speaker declared, and
the latter is responsible for more
deaths than any one other ailment.
Other conditions harmful to the
heart include sinus trouble, overwork
and strenuous athletic pursuits dur
ing high school.
“A damaged heart does not neces
sarily shorten life,” Dr. Sutter dis
closed, “but to prevent it the pa
tient must know of his condition
and act accordingly with moderation
to a degree compatible, with his phy
sical caution.
Skunk, oppossum and raccoons may
be shot or taken only between 6
p. m. and 6 a. m. from Nov. 15 to
Jan. 15. There is no bag limit on
skunk or oppossum, but there will
be a limit of two on raccoon.
