Poacher’s Luck . . .
CHARLESTON, W. Va„ UP> —
Ray Clemens and Bob Leeson of
the Conservation Department were
tipped that someone was hunting
out of season. They were waiting

Began backing his car away
when he saw the two agents, but
lost control and it tumbled down
a 35-foot embankment.
Jumped through a smashed
window, dashed down the hill and
Iran smack into a barbed wire
fence.
Leaped to his feet and lit out
again, his clothing in shreds, only
to be tackled from behind by
Clemens.
Stood more than slightly bushed
before Magistrate Lonnie Gates
and got an $80 fine befode limp
ing off to the hospital.

Theme — ‘A Donkey
In Every Pot . .
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz., UPt —
It’s hard for Navajos to under
stand the difference between the
Republican and Democratic
Parties.
So Mrs. Annie Wauneka, a
member of the Navajo Tribal
Council, decided to simplify her
political teaching by using the
party symbols — the Democratic
donkey and the GOP elephant.
But, she said, this procedure
gave the Democrats a big edge
with the Navajos.
Navajos much preferred the
donkey becuse donkeys are good
workers “and you could eat the
young ones.” On the other hand,
the Navajos had seed elephants
only at circuses, “and even then
their hides were repulsive.”
