Elk Makes A Goat
Out Of Ganiemen
</P) Newsfeatures
MISSOULA, Mont. — Forest
service officials here are puzzled
over the case of Elmer the wan
dering elk.
Wildlife Chief C. A. Joy of For
est Service Headquarters reports:
Elmer had an identification tag
fixed on one ear at Yellowstone
National Park, on the Montana
Wyoming border, in 1939. That
same year he and other elk were
moved and “transplanted” north
westward to the Deer Lodge Na
tional Forest in southwest Mon
tana.
Recently forest rangers in Idaho
reported finding Elmer near the
Coeur D'Alene River. At least the
number of the tag they found in
Matchmaking
Makes Mayor
Go To Phone
BURLINGTON. N. C., l/P)_The
man in Maryland who wanted
Mayor G. Marvin Holt of Burling
ton to help him find a wife can
take his pick now from a dozen
or more ambitious women in this
section.
And the sooner the better—for
the mayor wants to get out of the
mail-order business in a hurry!
Since a newspaper story an
nounced that a man in Hagers
town, Md., had called on Mayor
Holt for help in locating a spouse,
numerous women have written or
called to say they are “available.”
But Mayor Holt is tired having
his office confused with a matri
monial agency.
"Finding a wife is personal
business, and the next time some
one from far away wants a wife
from Burlington, the best thing
for him to do is to come here and
look around a few days,” he say>.
an elk's ear there corresponds to
’he one on Elmer’s tag.
"It seems impossible that an elk
could travel that far,” said Joy,
pointing out that Elmer would
have had to travel several hun
dred miles and cross two moun
tain ranges in order to go from the
Deei Lodge Forest to the Coeur
I D’Alene River.
Poland Urges UNO
Action Against
Franco Spain
NEW YORK. April 10, OP) —
Poland asked the United Nations
security council to take .action
against the Franco regime in Spain
on the ground that it already
threatened world peace as a haven
for Nazis and their assets.
German scientists are “devising
new means for warfare.” The Pol
ish appeal piled up another big
political issue for the peace en
forcement body, even before it
struggled out from under the
weight of the Iranian case.
The next round of the Iranian
case will come at noon Monday.
A secret meeting of council mem
bers was decided when Russia
urged United States and Britain
to oppose the prompt dismissal of
Iran’s complaints against Russia
