Owl Caught With Little Lady
Huge Wing Span
Late evening of December 18th,
the children on the sleeping
porch at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Arvid Johnson of ‘Skokomish Val-
ley, heard a commotion among
the “Banty” chickens roosting in
nearby bushes, and called to their
father.
He snatched up a flashlight and
easily located a big owl, tell-tale
feathers in its beak, sitting in a
rose bush. It was apparently
blinded by the light so Johnson
reached in and seized it by the'
neck. Realizing that he was en-
tirely unprotected from a set of
fierce claws, he hastily broke the
creature’s neck and pulled it out
of the bush.
When measured, the owl was
found to be a few inches over
four feet from tip to tip of its
wings. The "face" was grotes-
quely catlike. Because of the cold
weather the Johnsons could dis-
play the trophy for a. week.

Does a
“First Lady”
She wasn’t the First Lady, but
just “Little Lady” Louise Sher-
man, the two year and four—month
old daughter of Seaman Joe Sher-
man of Shelton Naval Air Station

She had a strange yearning to, I
see the big world without benefit
of offlCial escort. It was gomg to B
be a strictly “non-politica” trip,
too. It would be nice to get away
from too much stuffy domesticity
and be strictly on “her own.” So
bravely “Little Lady” Louise
crawled down the stairs of the
front porch of her home and out
on First Street.
Thrilled by the big world she
toddled on and on, crossing two
street intersections before she'
was noticed by Mrs. Lee Brass-
field, also headed for town. All
unaware that the Little Lady did .
not like being chaperoned, Mrs!
Brassfield took her hand and led
her about as she shopped, hoping
a distracted mother would appear
and claim Little Lady.
But Mrs. Sherman all unaware
of her young daughter’s yen for
long-distance travel was search-
ing in the immediate neighbor-
hood. On her way back from
town, Mrs. Brassfield stopped in
lat the Cliff Wivel‘l Gas Station,
lphoned the police department and
there “Little Lady” Louise re-
ing to be constantly under guard

way around town, but saved me

Precocious as is Louise, espe-
cially after her big tour, she has
not yet acquired the art of writ- 9 am,
